"Austen’s first inner circle was found with her family at home, at the Rectory in Steventon (see previous article). But the families who lived nearby in her immediate neighborhood and beyond, formed another kind of community—especially as she grew older. She was surrounded by friendships that became a meaningful part of her life, well into adulthood."

"We know Austen dearly loved to “collect” people together in her novels and arrange them in a specific way within a specific location. She called it the “delight” of her life. In a letter to Anna Austen, she said, “Three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on, and I hope you will do a great deal more, and make full use of them while they are so very favourably arranged. (Austen, Letter to Anna Austen, 9 Sept. 1814)"

"It’s intriguing to consider the “three or four families” Austen enjoyed mingling with in her everyday life. Let’s find out a bit more about the people in Austen’s personal “village,” and consider how they might have inspired her writing."

"During the Steventon years, the Austens enjoyed a wide social circle in the Steventon and Deane parishes and the surrounding areas. Jane’s world extended well beyond the rectory as she grew older, and it included family friends, neighbors, local clergy and gentry, and several lifelong companions."
