...person on the stage at the age of 23. No one in the audience would realize it, but according to her historians she had already written Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, was busy with Northanger Abbey. As impersonated by Actress Josephine Hutchinson, Jane was the flirtatious, giggling belle of Bath, busy discarding suitors right & left...
