N\u00e9e dans le village de Steventon dans le Hampshire, l\u2019\u00e9crivaine des romans tels \u00ab\u00a0Orgueil et pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab Raison et sentiments \u00bb avait de nombreuses raisons de visiter Londres pendant sa vie. En effet, plusieurs lieux visit\u00e9s par Austen lui servaient d\u2019inspiration pour des descriptions de quartiers chics ou habitent des personnages tels Mme Jennings de \u00ab Raison et sentiments \u00bb. Les activit\u00e9s sociales et les spectacles de la capitale qui amusaient les classes ais\u00e9es, d\u00e9crits de mani\u00e8re tellement vivante dans les romans d\u2019Austen, ont fait partie de ses propres exp\u00e9riences. Pendant notre tour de dix endroits li\u00e9s \u00e0 cette femme distingu\u00e9e qui remarquait tout, vous aurez un aper\u00e7u de la vie de l\u2019un des auteurs les plus renomm\u00e9s en Angleterre. Venez avec moi, un guide touristique Blue Badge<\/a>, sur les pas de Jane Austen \u00e0 Londres!<\/p>\n

Le fr\u00e8re ais\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Un des six fr\u00e8res de Jane, Henry, habitait 64 Sloane Street avec sa femme, Eliza, la cousine de Jane et une amie proche. Henry \u00e9tait le fr\u00e8re pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 de Jane et lui ressemblait le plus au niveau de temp\u00e9rament. Lui et deux associ\u00e9s avaient cr\u00e9\u00e9 une banque – Austen, Maunde et Tilson \u2013 et il menait une vie d\u2019homme d\u2019affaires londonien dans ce quartier plut\u00f4t rural de la capitale jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1815. Il a aussi jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le cl\u00e9 en aidant Jane \u00e0 publier son \u0153uvre. Jane restait chez Henry pendant ses visites \u00e0 Londres, des s\u00e9jours qui lui fournissaient un aper\u00e7u de la vie mondaine. Henry se plaisait \u00e0 divertir sa s\u0153ur avec des f\u00eates et des visites \u00e0 th\u00e9\u00e2tre. Aujourd\u2019hui le b\u00e2timent abrite une banque d\u2019investissement et sa fa\u00e7ade a \u00e9t\u00e9 raval\u00e9e en 1897. Cependant, l\u2019int\u00e9rieur de la maison originale date des ann\u00e9es juste apr\u00e8s 1780.<\/p>\n

Le bel Irlandais aux cheveux blonds<\/h3>\n

Austen, qui ne s\u2019est jamais mari\u00e9e, avait 20 ans lors de son bref flirt avec Tom Lefroy, un bel Irlandais aux cheveux blonds et le neveu de sa voisine \u00e0 Steventon, Mme Lefroy. Le compte rendu de cette \u2018liaison\u2019 se trouve dans la correspondance de Jane avec sa s\u0153ur, Cassandra. L\u00e0 elle assure \u00e0 sa s\u0153ur que rien de s\u00e9rieux ne s\u2019est pass\u00e9 mais qu\u2019elle aimait bien \u00eatre source de son attention. Apres avoir pass\u00e9 du temps avec Jane et ses parents, Tom a repris ses \u00e9tudes de droit \u00e0 Lincoln\u2019s Inn \u2013 une des quatre \u2018Inns of Court\u2019 [\u00e9coles de droit] \u00e0 Londres \u2013 et ensuite il est devenu juge en chef d\u2019Irlande. Plus tard il a admis qu\u2019il \u00e9tait vraiment tomb\u00e9 amoureux de Jane, mais que sa situation financi\u00e8re \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque ne permettait pas une offre de mariage. Peut-\u00eatre un mal pour un bien.<\/p>\n

Mort subite<\/h3>\n

Jane logeait chez son fr\u00e8re Henry au 10 Henrietta Street pendant l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 de 1813 et en mars 1814. Henry, intelligent, s\u00fbr de lui et d\u2019un naturel optimiste, \u00e9tait d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9 en 1813 par la mort de sa femme bien-aim\u00e9e, Eliza. Elle avait \u00e9pous\u00e9 Henry apr\u00e8s que son premier mari, un capitaine dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e fran\u00e7aise, \u00e9tait guillotin\u00e9 en 1794 pendant la R\u00e9volution fran\u00e7aise. Eliza et Jane avaient correspondu par lettres et elles partageaient toutes deux un amour pour le th\u00e9\u00e2tre. Henrietta Street \u00e9tait situ\u00e9e \u00e0 une tr\u00e8s courte distance des deux th\u00e9\u00e2tres de Drury Lane et de Covent Garden. Il est possible qu\u2019Eliza, pleine d\u2019esprit, ait influenc\u00e9 la repr\u00e9sentation des femmes brillantes telle Elisabeth Bennet dans \u00ab\u00a0Orgueil et pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s\u00a0\u00bb. Peu apr\u00e8s la mort de sa femme, Henry a emm\u00e9nag\u00e9 au num\u00e9ro 10, dans des pi\u00e8ces au-dessus de sa propre banque o\u00f9 Jane et une de ses ni\u00e8ces pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es, Fanny Knight, lui rendaient visite en 1814.<\/p>\n

Une passion\u00e9e des arts dramatiques<\/h3>\n

Jane adorait Shakespeare et le th\u00e9\u00e2tre. Pendant son enfance, sa famille organisait des spectacles amateurs, choisissant des pi\u00e8ces typiques du th\u00e9\u00e2tre comique de la fin du 18ieme si\u00e8cle telle \u00ab Les Rivales \u00bb de Sheridan. Au 18ieme si\u00e8cle, aller au th\u00e9\u00e2tre est devenu une fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s \u00e0 la mode de passer la soir\u00e9e. Lors des visites chez Henry, il parait que Jane allait au th\u00e9\u00e2tre le plus souvent possible, d\u00e9couvrant plusieurs des plus grands com\u00e9diens de son \u00e9poque telles Mme Siddons (la Reine de trag\u00e9die) et Mme Jordan. En 1814, une nouvelle vedette de trag\u00e9die est apparue sur la sc\u00e8ne londonienne, Edmund Kean, qui incarnait brillamment Richard III et Shylock. Pendant qu\u2019elle n\u00e9gociait la publication de \u00ab Mansfield Park \u00bb \u00e0 Londres, Jane l\u2019a vu jouer \u00e0 Drury Lane. Apr\u00e8s elle \u00e9crit : \u00ab Nous \u00e9tions plut\u00f4t satisfaits avec Kean ; je ne peux pas m\u2019imaginer une meilleure interpr\u00e9tation mais le r\u00f4le \u00e9tait trop court \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

A cause des brevets royaux protecteurs, Londres n\u2019avait \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque que deux th\u00e9\u00e2tres ; Covent Garden (l\u2019emplacement de la Royal Opera House d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui) et le Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Royal, Drury Lane. Dans \u00ab Raison et sentiments \u00bb, Willoughby entend parler de la maladie de Marianne Dashwood dans le hall du Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Royal, Drury Lane, apr\u00e8s y avoir rencontr\u00e9 subitement Sir John Middleton.

La fra\u00eecheur solitaire<\/h3>\n

Henry a emm\u00e9nag\u00e9 au 23 Hans Place en 1814, une ann\u00e9e apr\u00e8s la mort d\u2019Eliza. Jane a log\u00e9 dans cette maison en 1814 et en 1815. Elle aimait beaucoup le b\u00e2timent et surtout le jardin du square. Sa visite en 1815 a co\u00efncid\u00e9 avec ses pr\u00e9paratifs afin de publier \u00ab Emma \u00bb. Son fr\u00e8re est devenu gravement malade, alors Jane est rest\u00e9e pour le remettre sur pied. Elle avait une chambre en bas qui donnait sur le jardin et elle d\u00e9crit sa routine de travail \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur suivi par une pause dehors: \u00ab Je sors et me ravive de temps en temps et apr\u00e8s je rentre dans la fra\u00eecheur solitaire \u00bb Peu de temps apr\u00e8s qu\u2019il s\u2019est remis, la banque de Henry s\u2019est effondr\u00e9e, et en cons\u00e9quence de sa faillite Jane et d\u2019autres membres de sa famille ont perdu de l\u2019argent. C\u2019\u00e9tait probablement sa derni\u00e8re visite \u2018en ville\u2019 car elle est morte dix-neuf mois plus tard. Aujourd\u2019hui certaines maisons de l\u2019\u00e9poque survivent mais le num\u00e9ro 23 a \u00e9t\u00e9 reb\u00e2ti. Une plaque bleue y comm\u00e9more le s\u00e9jour de Jane.<\/p>\n

L\u2019admirateur royal<\/h3>\n

Carlton House \u00e9tait la r\u00e9sidence \u00e0 Londres du Prince R\u00e9gent (le future roi George IV) depuis 1783 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 sa d\u00e9molition en 1823. Depuis, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 remplac\u00e9e par Carlton House Terrace qui donne sur le parc St James\u2019s. Le Prince R\u00e9gent \u00e9tait apparemment un grand admirateur des romans d\u2019Austen et \u00ab les avait souvent lus\u00bb. S\u2019apercevant une fois que Jane \u00e9tait \u00e0 Londres, il a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 son biblioth\u00e9caire de \u00ab lui rendre visite \u00bb. Alors le r\u00e9v\u00e9rend James Stanier Clarke est venu chercher Austen au 23 Hans Place, l\u2019invitant \u00e0 visiter Carlton House. Une visite guid\u00e9e a \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9e par le biblioth\u00e9caire lui-m\u00eame, y compris une visite de la biblioth\u00e8que magnifique du Prince. C\u2019\u00e9tait pendant cette visite qu\u2019il l\u2019a \u2018invit\u00e9e \u00e0 d\u00e9dier son dernier roman \u00ab Emma \u00bb au Prince. Elle l\u2019a fait \u00e0 contrec\u0153ur car elle n\u2019\u00e9tait pas une de ses grands admirateurs. En effet, elle avait d\u00e9crit la femme du Prince, la Princesse Caroline, tourment\u00e9e depuis longtemps, dans une de ses lettres : \u00ab La pauvre femme, je la soutiendrai le plus longtemps possible parce qu\u2019elle est une Femme et parce que je d\u00e9teste son Mari \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Le r\u00e9v\u00e9rend plut\u00f4t pr\u00e9tentieux \u00e9tait tellement frapp\u00e9 par Jane qu\u2019il a peint son portrait \u00e0 l\u2019aquarelle et apr\u00e8s, il entretenait une correspondance avec elle, la conseillant m\u00eame d\u2019\u00e9crire un roman sur un pasteur anglais\u2026.<\/p>\n

\u2018Jamais de caf\u00e9\u2019<\/h3>\n

La boutique de th\u00e9 la plus vieille \u00e0 Londres, au 216 the Strand, fait du commerce depuis plus de 300 ans. D\u00e9velopp\u00e9e par Thomas Twining, c\u2019\u00e9tait probablement la premi\u00e8re boutique de th\u00e9 sec et de caf\u00e9 du monde. Nous savons que la famille Austen, y compris Jane, visitait la boutique. Jane a not\u00e9 dans son agenda que sa m\u00e8re lui avait demand\u00e9 d\u2019aller chercher du th\u00e9 \u00e0 Twinings pour en ramener \u00e0 la maison. Elle a aussi mentionn\u00e9 la hausse du prix du th\u00e9 dans une lettre \u00e0 Cassandra. Parmi les autres clients c\u00e9l\u00e8bres de Twinings se trouve l\u2019artiste Hogarth, dont la facture \u00e9tait si \u00e9norme qu\u2019il a peint un portrait de Richard Twining au lieu de payer. Une copie est expos\u00e9e dans la boutique. Un autre fid\u00e8le \u00e9tait Earl Grey, premier ministre britannique dans les ann\u00e9es 1830s, dont le th\u00e9 tire son nom. A l\u2019\u00e9poque d\u2019Austen, boire du th\u00e9 \u00e9tait l\u2019activit\u00e9 pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e des femmes bien que le caf\u00e9 figure certainement dans ses romans. Mlle Bates dans \u00ab Emma \u00bb n\u2019avait pas de doutes \u00e0-propos de sa pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence : \u00ab Pas de caf\u00e9, je vous remercie, pour moi \u2013 jamais de caf\u00e9. Un peu de th\u00e9, s\u2019il vous plait, monsieur,\u2026. !<\/em><\/p>\n

Le m\u00eame que Lord Byron<\/h3>\n

Austen a chang\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9diteur au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie. Elle a engag\u00e9 le prosp\u00e8re John Murray au 50 Albemarle Street pour la parution de \u00ab Emma \u00bb en d\u00e9cembre 1815 et la deuxi\u00e8me \u00e9dition de \u00ab Mansfield Park \u00bb peu apr\u00e8s. Voil\u00e0 les derniers romans d\u2019Austen publi\u00e9s pendant sa vie. Elle aurait assur\u00e9ment visit\u00e9 le bureau de John Murray en 1815. Il \u00e9tait le centre d\u2019un cercle litt\u00e9raire, appel\u00e9 \u00ab les Amis de quatre heures \u00bb, compos\u00e9 d\u2019auteurs qui arrivaient pour un th\u00e9 de l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi ! Murray publiait principalement de la po\u00e9sie moderne, des livres de voyage et d\u2019histoire plut\u00f4t que des romans. Cependant, il a pu \u00eatre persuad\u00e9 de tenter sa chance avec Austen. Il a propos\u00e9 un peu moins de \u00a3450 pour le droit d\u2019auteur de \u00ab Raison et sentiments \u00bb, \u00ab Mansfield Park \u00bb et \u00ab Emma \u00bb, pas la meilleure affaire du point de vue d\u2019Austen. N\u00e9anmoins, elle lui permettait de d\u00e9clarer qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait la premi\u00e8re femme romanci\u00e8re publi\u00e9e par le m\u00eame \u00e9diteur que Lord Byron, le po\u00e8te vivant le plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre !<\/p>\n

En 1859, John Murray ferait publier \u00ab L\u2019Origine des esp\u00e8ces \u00bb de Charles Darwin. Depuis plus de 200 ans, 50 Albemarle Street est toujours le si\u00e8ge de l\u2019\u00e9diteur, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 vendu en 2002.<\/p>\n

Le portable de Jane<\/h3>\n

En 1794, le p\u00e8re d\u2019Austen lui a donn\u00e9 une \u2018\u00e9critoire\u2019 portable, d\u00e9tenue par la British Library. Ouverte, sa surface inclin\u00e9e est con\u00e7ue pour \u00e9crire et elle dispose d\u2019un encrier et d\u2019un tiroir pour des objets pr\u00e9cieux. Jane se servait peut-\u00eatre de cette \u00e9critoire en r\u00e9digeant la premi\u00e8re \u00e9bauche de ce qui deviendrait \u00ab Raison et sentiments \u00bb et Orgueil et pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s \u00bb.<\/p>\n

L\u2019\u00e9critoire a \u00e9t\u00e9 transmise \u00e0 Cassandra et plus tard \u00e0 la famille de leur fr\u00e8re ain\u00e9. En 1999, l’arri\u00e8re-petite-ni\u00e8ce de Jane, Joan Austen-Leigh, l\u2019a l\u00e9gu\u00e9e \u00e0 la British Library. A l\u2019int\u00e9rieur se trouvaient trois paires de lunettes qui, selon la tradition familiale, avaient appartenues \u00e0 Jane. La British Library d\u00e9tient aussi une lettre \u00e9crite par Jane en avril 1816 \u00e0 James Stanier Clarke, le biblioth\u00e9caire du Prince R\u00e9gent \u00e0 la Carlton House. Il avait propos\u00e9 dans sa correspondance pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente qu\u2019elle \u00e9crive une romance historique. Austen a d\u00e9clin\u00e9 avec d\u00e9licatesse et dans sa lettre elle explique qu\u2019elle \u00abne pouvait s\u2019assoir sinc\u00e8rement pour \u00e9crire une romance s\u00e9rieuse sous aucun pr\u00e9texte sauf pour me sauver la Vie \u00bb. <\/em><\/p>\n

James Stanier Clarke ressemble au horripilant M. Collins dans \u00ab Orgueil et pr\u00e9jug\u00e9es \u00bb bien qu\u2019il ait \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9j\u00e0 cr\u00e9\u00e9 lors de sa rencontre avec Austen. Les objets li\u00e9s \u00e0 Austen ne sont pas toujours expos\u00e9s mais on peut toujours y acc\u00e9der en ligne.<\/p>\n

La mort pr\u00e9matur\u00e9e<\/h3>\n

Austen est enterr\u00e9e dans la cath\u00e9drale de Winchester mais il y a une petite plaque murale comm\u00e9morative dans le Coin de Po\u00e8tes \u00e0 l\u2019Abbaye de Westminster. Elle est tout pr\u00e8s du monument de Shakespeare, ce qui aurait enchant\u00e9 Austen. R\u00e9servez un guide touristique Blue Badge pour vous montrer ceci \u2013 et le monument \u00e0 Lord Byron \u2013 pendant une visite guid\u00e9e de l\u2019Abbaye de Westminster<\/a>. \u00c9tant tomb\u00e9e tr\u00e8s malade, Austen est all\u00e9e a Winchester pour consulter un m\u00e9decin, mais elle est morte, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 41 ans, dans les bras de sa s\u0153ur. Son d\u00e9c\u00e8s a \u00e9t\u00e9 attribu\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs causes y compris le cancer, la maladie d\u2019Addison et m\u00eame l’empoisonnement \u00e0 l’arsenic. Seulement quatre personnes assistaient aux fun\u00e9railles modestes et la pierre comm\u00e9morative originale dans la cath\u00e9drale de Winchester ne mentionnait aucun de ses livres. Aujourd\u2019hui, deux si\u00e8cles plus tard, Austen est c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e comme une des plus grandes romanci\u00e8res en Angleterre et gr\u00e2ce aux adaptations cin\u00e9matographiques r\u00e9ussies, l\u2019orgueilleux M. Darcy ne sera jamais oubli\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The first afternoon she led us through the British Museum. Two days later, we met again for a walking tour in the Westminster area. On both occasions, she was informative, witty, friendly, and extremely generous with her time. On the walking tour, she even added \\\"Churchillian Overtones\\\" in response to my expressed interest in all things Churchill. Ingrid's expert tours were a highlight of our London visit and we would recommend her without reservation. Simply stated, Ingrid is an outstanding guide.\\\" Jerry Engler\u00a0\/\u00a0 jerryengler@sbcglobal.net \u201cOur family, two adults and two teenage girls, had the pleasure of a full day tour with Ingrid in July 2017. We asked Ingrid to gear the tour towards our kids, and she did an amazing job. We started at the Tower of London, and she knew exactly where to go and what to see based on our interests, explaining things all the time. She knew, and we met, the second ever female Beefeater at the Tower - what an empowering experience for our girls. After the Tower, we had lunch at one of the pubs she recommended. Ingrid has such a wealth of knowledge, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunchtime conversation. After lunch, we went to the British Museum where we spent the remainder of the day. With Ingrid as our guide, we were able to see so much more than we would have been able to do on our own. She knew the museum like the back of her hand, and we all were mesmerized by all the information she was able to share. We did not want the day to end! I have, and will, recommend Ingrid wholeheartedly to anyone that would like a personal tour guide\u201d Shelli Black, 2017 \\\"My wife and 10 year old daughter had the very distinct pleasure of having Ingrid show us her town on a full day tour in March, 2009. She was absolutely, positively, fantastic! Not only did she know everything about how London came to be the city it is today, she was able to make the history lesson fun and entertaining for young (my daughter) and old (my wife and me) alike. We opted for a \\\"touristy\\\" agenda. We started at Westminster Abbey, past Buckingham Palace, to a Pub for lunch (does anyone really drink green beer?) and then to the Tower of London. Ingrid was definitely an \\\"insider\\\" (no lines, no waiting) and knew everyone at all the places we went - she even knew the Beefeaters! If you are visiting London you would be doing yourself a terrible disservice by not hiring Ingrid to show you around.\\\" Steve M. and Family, Philadelphia, PA.

We both had a terrific time. Our day with you was a highlight of our stay. I appreciate the way you wove the narrative and sights with the ease of spending a day with an old friend.

Everyone was singing her praises, she made the trip so interesting, entertaining and fascinating.
