Godmersham Park Library Finds!

I haven’t been posting recently, so just want to link to this post on the “Reading with Austen” blog that I write – about three new titles returned to Chawton House that were originally in Edward Austen’s library at Godmersham Park.

Our team at the Godmersham Lost Sheep Society found and was able to purchase two titles; the third was actually found hiding in plain sight in the Knight Collection.

You can read all about it here:

If you have interest in the Reading with Austen project, spearheaded by Professor Peter Sabor, please visit the website here and the blog noted above with posts on what’s been found, how to become part of the team, etc. We fundraise through the North American Friends of Chawton House to return books whenever possible.
