Jane Austen's House Reviews

The Jane Austen House Museum is set up as a fraud to deceive the public into believing that Jane Austen wrote the novels that bear her name. As Nicholas Ennos shows in his recently published book "Jane Austen - a New Revelation" the novels were in fact written by her cousin, Eliza de Feuillide. Eliza could not publish them under her own name as she was the secret illegitimate daughter of Warren Hastings, the Governor General of India. The novels were not published from this house, as is falsely claimed on a plaque on the house, but from the home of Eliza de Feuillide in London. There is no evidence that the poorly educated Jane Austen wrote the novels. All of the manuscripts were destroyed and most of Jane Austen's letters and all of Eliza's letters were destroyed by the Austen family to conceal her authorship. What is told to you at the museum is little more than a fairy tale.
