FOR WHAT IS HAPPINESS BUT
[/font]A MATTER OF A CHANCE?[/font][/URL]

England, 1813: a time of elegance, society, culture. A time of social, political, and economical change. In 1813, Jane Austen will publish her most famous novel, Pride and Prejudice. In 1813, King George is monarch and Lord Liverpool is prime minister. In 1813, England is in the midst of The War of 1812, The Napoleanic War, and The Peninsular War.
For most living in London, life is a "quick succession of busy nothings". The only life is a social one, and many young ladies are concerned with little more than whom they will marry. For those concerned with politics and business, and those concerned with matrimony, what is happiness but A Matter of Chance?
