      Sanditon

      Austen was working on the novel Sanditon when she died in 1817; she completed twelve chapters of the book before her early death. It was believed within the Austen family that the author had intended to title the text ‘The Brothers’ after the Parker siblings. The existence of the unfinished novel was first made known when James Edward Austen-Leigh included extracts from the work in the second edition of his biography A Memoir of Jane Austen, published in 1871. However, it was not until 1925 that the entire fragment was published by R. W. Chapman. The manuscript remained within the Austen family until 1930 when Mary Isabella Lefroy, who was the granddaughter of Austen’s niece Anna Lefroy, gave the manuscript to King’s College Cambridge.

      There have been a variety of books released which have attempted to finish or continue the narrative, including A Return to Sanditon: a completion of Jane Austen’s fragment by Anne Toledo and Jane Austen Out of the Blue by Donald Measham. There is also a modern web series adaptation of the uncompleted work called Welcome to Sanditon, which is set in California and debuted in May 2013.

      The fragment begins with Mr and Mrs Parker falling out of their carriage, close to the Heywood family home. Due to Mr Parker’s injuries he and his wife stay with the Heywood’s, where he often talks with a great love and admiration of his home town Sanditon. He excitedly informs them that this small town is now becoming a fashionable resort and invites the eldest Heywood daughter, Charlotte, to stay with him and wife this summer. The narrative then moves to Sanditon, where Charlotte encounters the vibrant and energetic townspeople, who speak of little else besides the fortunes of the town, although there is a noticeable divide between their words regarding the prospects of Sanditon and the material reality. Austen explores the power of language and the idea and importance of communication in projecting a certain ideal.

      Chapter 1

      A gentleman and a lady travelling from Tunbridge towards that part of the Sussex coast which lies between Hastings and Eastbourne, being induced by business to quit the high road and attempt a very rough lane, were overturned in toiling up its long ascent, half rock, half sand. The accident happened just beyond the only gentleman’s house near the lane — a house which their driver, on being first required to take that direction, had conceived to be necessarily their object and had with most unwilling looks been constrained to pass by. He had grumbled and shaken his shoulders and pitied and cut his horses so sharply that he might have been open to the suspicion of overturning them on purpose (especially as the carriage was not his master’s own) if the road had not indisputably become worse than before, as soon as the premises of the said house were left behind — expressing with a most portentous countenance that, beyond it, no wheels but cart wheels could safely proceed. The severity of the fall was broken by their slow pace and the narrowness of the lane; and the gentleman having scrambled out and helped out his companion, they neither of them at first felt more than shaken and bruised. But the gentleman had, in the course of the extrication, sprained his foot — and soon becoming sensible of it, was obliged in a few moments to cut short both his remonstrances to the driver and his congratulations to his wife and himself — and sit down on the bank, unable to stand.

      There is something wrong here, said he, putting his hand to his ankle. But never mind, my dear— looking up at her with a smile, "it could not have happened, you know, in a better place — Good out of evil. The very thing perhaps to be wished for. We shall soon get relief. There, I fancy, lies my cure— pointing to the neat-looking end of a cottage, which was seen romantically situated among wood on a high eminence at some little distance—Does not that promise to be the very place?"

      His wife fervently hoped it was; but stood, terrified and anxious, neither able to do or suggest anything, and receiving her first real comfort from the sight of several persons now coming to their assistance. The accident had been discerned from a hayfield adjoining the house they had passed. And the persons who approached were a well-looking, hale, gentlemanlike man, of middle age, the proprietor of the place, who happened to be among his haymakers at the time, and three or four of the ablest of them summoned to attend their master — to say nothing of all the rest of the field — men, women and children, not very far off.

      Mr. Heywood, such was the name of the said proprietor, advanced with a very civil salutation, much concern for the accident, some surprise at anybody’s attempting that road in a carriage, and ready offers of assistance. His courtesies were received with good breeding and gratitude, and while one or two of the men lent their help to the driver in getting the carriage upright again, the traveller said, "You are extremely obliging, sir, and I take you at your word.
