ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In preparing this edition I have incurred many debts and received
advice and assistance from several sources. My greatest debt is to
Deirdre Le Faye, who generously shared with me her Jane Austen
scholarship and knowledge of the archives; she also checked my
text of Caroline Austen’s My Aunt Jane Austen: A Memoir against
the manuscript in Jane Austen’s House, Chawton. I am grateful
to the staff of the Hampshire Record Office, Winchester; to the
staff of the Heinz Archive, the National Portrait Gallery; to
Judith Priestman of the Modern Manuscripts Room, Bodleian
Library; and to the staff of Balliol College and St Anne’s College
Libraries, Oxford. My thanks for specific and general advice go to
Geneviève Baudon Adams, Claire Harman, Tom Keymer, Claire
Lamont, Hermione Lee, Matthew Leigh, and Jim McLaverty; to
my sister Moira Wardhaugh for helping me think about family
memories; and to Judith Luna for her enthusiasm for the project.
I am grateful to the Archive Department of the Hampshire
Record Office and to the Heinz Archive and Library, the National
Portrait Gallery, for permission to publish manuscript materials
in their possession. I would also like to thank Brian Southam
and the Jane Austen Society for permission to reprint Caroline
Austen’s My Aunt Jane Austen: A Memoir. For permission to
reproduce images of family members, my thanks go to Katharine
Beaumont, T. F. Carpenter of the Jane Austen Memorial Trust,
and to Maggie Lane.
