She stayed for three weeks at the vicarage, around the same time that she was writing Jayne Eyre, which was published in 1847. It is generally believed that Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice was partly written in Bakewell which she calls ‘Lambton’ in her novel, possibly staying at the Rutland Arms in the centre of the town.Ĭharlotte Bronte visited her close friend Ellen Nussey whose brother Henry was the vicar of Hathersage in 1845. The author’s name did not appear on any of her title pages, and although her own friends knew of her authorship, she received little public recognition in her lifetime. Persuasion was issued in 1818 with Northanger Abbey. The novels published in Austen’s lifetime were Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Northanger Abbey, a satire on the Gothic romance, was sold to a publisher for £10 in 1803, but as it was not published, was bought back by members of the family and was finally issued posthumously. On her father’s retirement in 1801, the family moved to Bath for several years and then to Southampton, settling finally at Chawton Cottage, near Alton, Hampshire, which was Jane’s home for the rest of her life. Here her first novels, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey, were written, although they were not published until much later. She spent the first 25 years of her life at ‘Steventon’, her father’s Hampshire vicarage. Today she is regarded as one of the great masters of the English novel. Jane Austen was an English novelist, the daughter of a clergyman.

Of Derbyshire, Celia Fiennes wrote, ‘All Derbyshire is full of steep hills, and nothing but the peakes of hills as thick one by another is seen in most of the county which are steepe which makes travelling tedious, and the miles long, you see neither hedge nor tree but only low drye stone walls round some ground, else its only hills and dales as thick as you can imagine,’Ĭelia Fiennes was followed 30 years later by Daniel Defoe on his ‘Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain’ in 1726, who dismissed Hobbes and Cotton’s wonders except for Eldon Hole and Chatsworth, of which he described as ‘one a wonder of nature, the other of art’. Her journal was discovered in 1885 and published three years later under the title, ‘Through England on a Side Saddle’. On her journey Celia kept notes in her journal about the places she visited and provided the first comprehensive survey of England since Camden. Then came Celia Fiennes, who from 1685 until 1703 travelled extensively around England alone apart from two servants. The Wonders were Pooles Cavern and St Annes’s Well at Buxton, Peak Cavern at Castleton, Eldon Hole, Mam tor, the Ebbing and Flowing Well at Barmoor Clough, Peak Forest and later Chatsworth House. Thomas Hobbes published his De Mirabilibus Pecci: Concerning the Wonders of the Peak in Darby-shire in 1636, followed by Charles Cotton’s The Wonders of the Peak in 1681, probably the first successful guidebook to the region. The Peak District’s Literary ConnectionsĪs far back as 1586 Elizabethan historian William Camden, was writing about the Wonders of the Peak, naming nine of them in his Britannia.
