Upon returning home, both continued educational pursuits under their father and made use of his home library.]]> 2020-08-25 20:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/veronicafield/abv2uorc59ckeent/wish/698550747 veronicafield https://padlet.com/veronicafield/abv2uorc59ckeent/wish/698566139 By 1795, Jane had been growing close to, and revealing romantic interest in, a man named Tom Lefroy. She wrote to Cassandra fervently about this, but her potential romance unfortunately fell through.

The move was great for Jane's literary work and her skill was recognized by both Cassandra and her mother.

However, her health was starting to fail and eventually her illness would result in a heap of unfinished projects.
