Best Answer

A person's home is important, and for most of Jane Austen's characters, home was a small estate at or near a country village.

Villages were important, as were the cities of London and Bath. She did not say much about London. She had at least one character of intelligence, Anne Elliot, dislike Bath, and it is portrayed in Northanger Abbey as a place where a person could be easily led astray. But the main action in all her novels took place in country villages or Bath.

All of her work centers in southern English counties, except for a trip to Derbyshire in Pride and Prejudice, and most of it deals with counties near London. Devonshire, Somerset, Kent, and Hertfordshire are the counties I recall, but clearly Highbury, in Emma, was only sixteen miles from London, and I think Mansfield Park must have been only a little farther.
