Jane Austen's England

In this book, Maggie Lane reveals the importance of place in Jane Austen's writings and follows her travels throughout Georgian England. Jane Austen strayed far from the confines of her native Hampshire and Bath to find new material for her novels from "Pride and Prejudice" to "Northanger Abbey". With an accurate eye she sketched acute, witty studies of society in Lyme Regis and Bristol, Devizes and Southampton, Brighton and Winchester. This illustrated text summons the beauties of the English landscape, recreating the distinctive backdrop for some of the finest novels in English literature.

SCRIBNERS

Maggie Lane's striking original designs are based on Chinese motifs derived from paintings, porcelains, rugs, and other textiles. In this book we reproduce a dozen of her favorite pillows selected from her first two books, NEEDLEPOINT BY DESIGN and MORE NEEDLEPOINT BY DESIGN. These have been chosen to make effective pairs, if desired, and are of various shapes- square, oblong, circular, and octagonal. All are fully graphed, with suggested color combinations, and directions are given for finishing. A thirteenth pillow- reproduced on the cover- has never been published before. It is a fascinating combination of abstract motifs which can be adapted to various uses, such as all-over designs or backgrounds on large pieces, or for small objects such s coasters, pincushions, eyeglass cases, etc.
