Today, Jane Austen's work is considered an important part of the English literary canon. It is the subject of a massive body of scholarly and critical work.
Jane is remembered by visitors at two museums, both dedicated to her. One is in Bath and is a public museum located in a Georgian House in Gay Street. This is just a few doors down the street from number 25 where Jane Austen lived in 1805. It is called The Jane Austen Centre. The centre has a shop, which is filled with gift cards, postcards, stationary, books, videos, lace and needlepoint, cassettes and CD's. There are regency tea rooms, which are free to enter - customers do not have to visit the permanent exhibition.
The other one is the Jane Austen's House Museum, and is located in Chawton cottage, in Hampshire, where Jane lived from 1809 to 1817. The museum includes Jane's jewellery and samples of her needlework skill. In the drawing room is a Hepplewhite bureau-bookcase, which belonged to Jane's father. The bookcase contains some first editions of Jane's novels. The Gardens are a peaceful spot, and the Old Bakehouse contains Jane's donkey carriage, which she used when she was too ill to travel on foot. The carriage has recently been refurbished, and is used on special occasions. There is a shop and refreshmets. Entrance for adults is £4.50, senior citizens/students £3.50 and children (8-18 years) £1.00. For pre-booked groups (15 or more) £3.50. Groups must be booked in advance. There are facilities available for visitors with disabilities.
