] This is the post on the P&P board, written by Joan, too, which made me decide to ask about "the season". I realize JA was not a member of the aristocracy who took part in the official "high society" season, but her characters do take part in social activities according to the time of year, as this post shows, and I'm sure that their season would have followed along the lines of the aristocratic one.

The London season was structured around the sitting of Parliament. I doubt that was of much moment to young ladies in the country. Their seasons would probably have been more agricultural than political.
