![What Was Jane Austens Love Life Like? How True is Becoming Jane, Tom Lefroy & Marriage Proposals
Did Jane Austen ever get married? Is the movie Becoming Jane true? What was the author of Pride and Prejudices love life like? Well, in this video we look at Austens romantic life including her youthful flirtation with Tom Lefroy made famous by the movie Becoming Jane.
We also explore other romantic possibilities in Janes life, like her marriage proposal from Harris Bigg-Wither. Oh, and we address this issue of whether Jane Austen was just so dedicated to writing that she stayed single to be an author.
