I love books,Jane Austen and the Regency period, and since you’re here, I guess you do too!
This website started out as a landing page for the Jane Austen travel guide, and grew from there. I’ve been sharing my research and writing since 2015 when a volunteering project at Chawton reignited my love for Jane Austen. I was lucky enough to be invited to the many events for Jane Austen’s 200 year anniversary of her death. I loved it so much – I wrote a book about it!
I published Jane Austen’s Prayers, and I am working on a follow up that expands on Jane’s faith and the clergymen in her novels, amongst other things relevant to her life and novels. I absolutely love them, and often go to St Nicholas where Jane prayed to give me the finishing energy I need. I’ve been writing the travel guide for a while now, as its grown to include audio, walks, maps, and other unique Jane Austen treasures. The book cover is beautiful and hopefully will be out in the summer!
This site is for fun, at least for me, so I hope I bring a lighthearted view to Jane Austen and the Regency period. You can sign up on the homepage for the monthly newsletter, and from there, access more in-depth content that includes photographs and videos of Jane Austen’s treasures.
I would love to hear from you!
I am a member of Jane Austen Society UK and JASNA, so we can catch up at the next event. If you need any help with your research or have any questions, please get in touch. You can find me on Twitter (oops ‘X’) @ teamjaneausten or send me a message through the form on the website.
Thanks.
Emma

Short Bio for Author Emma Darlington
Emma Darlington wanted to be an explorer and live her life at sea, until she discovered that dusty old books, churches, and museums are generally found on land. She is passionate about Jane Austen, the Regency period, carriages, and corsets, and has written five non-fiction books on the subject including Jane Austen’s Prayers, the first time Jane’s handwritten prayers have appeared in print.
Emma loves to travel and is usually away on an adventure researching her next travel guide or mystery novel. A digital nomad, Emma works in communications and supports a number of charities in her spare time. On dry land, she spends a lot of time drinking tea in Jane Austen’s village of Chawton, England.
