I found a list of Prime Ministers in Trevelyan's Illustrated History of England , and I thought it might be interesting to discuss it in relation to events in JA's life, and in the development of her writings.

1770-1782 North (Tory, King's Friends )
1782 Rockingham (Whig)
1782- 1783 Shelburne (King's Friends and Chathamites)
1783 Coalition of North and Fox (Whigs and Tories)
1783-1801 Pitt (Chathamites and King's Friends, gradually becoming Tory; Conservative Whigs Join in 1794)
1801-1804 Addington (Tory)
1804- 1806 Pitt's Second Ministry (Tory)
1806-1807 Ministry of All the Talents
1807-1809 Portland (Tory)
1809-1812 Perceval (Tory)
1812- 1827 Liverpool (Tory) becoming more liberal in policy after 1822.

Here's from the Chronology in Le Faye's Jane Austen, a family Record

1787 Jane starts writing her Juvenalia
1793 last Item of Juvenalia
1794 JA possibly writes Lady Susan this year
1795 JA probably writes Elinor and Marianne this year
1796 JA starts writing First Impressions
1797 JA finishes First Impressions , JA converts E& M into S&S.
1798 JA possibly starts writing Susan (Northanger Abbey).
1799 JA finishes Susan
1802 JA revises Susan
1803 JA probably writes The Watsons
1811 JA planning Mansfield Park , corrects proofs of S&S, starts revising FI into P&P
1813 JA finishes Mansfield Park
1814 JA commences Emma
1815 Emma finished. JA starts Persuasion
1816 Persuasion completed
1817 JA starts Sanditon

Does that spark any ideas about JA's intentions or political commentaries in her books? Or can you tell me anything about any particular administrations' actions that seem to connect with the novels?
