• W215351625 abstract "JANE AUSTEN'S LEGACY has been an important element in the absorption of many historic houses into popular culture in recent years. now has a connection to many historic houses simply because an adaptation of one of her novels has been filmed at a particular property rather than because a historical link with or her family exists. Newby Hall, the house that played the part of Sir Thomas Bertram's mansion in ITV's recent adaptation of Mansfield Park, for example, saw visitor numbers increase by approximately 10 per cent following transmission (Lambert 35). To illustrate how important the brand name of Austen is to many of the houses that have appeared in adaptations, I will highlight the effect of this connection on the house that played the role of Pemberley in the iconic 1995 BBC television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice as well as on the house that played Netherfield Park in the 2005 Working Title movie Pride & Prejudice. Both these properties benefited from The Pemberley Effect: that is, transformation of a house from an important property, though one relatively unknown to the general public, to a property linked to the Austen brand and all that this connection confers in terms of marketing and public awareness. Why might historic houses wish to capitalize on any Jane connection? A brief look at the history of the English country house since Austen's day is helpful in understanding the need for The Pemberley Effect. At the end of the eighteenth century the role of the country house and its estate was still of great importance to the running and organization of society. Power and wealth were automatically seen as benefits of such ownership. The power of such owners was probably indisputable, but the wealth was sometimes not as great as outsiders might have suspected. For example, even Jane Austen's brother Edward, who had been adopted by the wealthy Catherine and Thomas Knight, experienced money problems with his estate at Chawton. A claim had been made on the estate by the Hinton family, who lived in the village. They believed that a deed relating to the estate was incorrect, that Edward was not the legal owner, and that the estate belonged to them. The case was not settled for several years, and eventually Edward had to pay 15,000 [pounds sterling] to pacify the Hintons (Tomalin 244, 332). Taxes constituted another problem. By the end of the nineteenth century, increases in what are collectively known as put increasing financial pressure on estate owners. The three forms of taxation that made up death duties were the Legacy Duty (from 1796 to 1949), Succession Duty (from 1853 to 1949), and Estate Duty (from 1894 until 1975, when it was replaced by Capital Transfer Tax) (Death Duty). These three taxes often proved crippling and were instrumental in causing the break up of many country estates. Social changes put further pressure on the wealth necessary to maintain estates. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 took large numbers of men and women away from the traditional male and female work roles. After the war, many who had previously been employed in domestic service were reluctant to return to the servant's role, as the war had often--although frequently through harrowing circumstances--broadened their horizons. Chawton House again provides an example of a property facing such pressures: in 1914 the then owner, Montagu George Knight, died. Death duties would have been payable on the estate, and the outbreak of war would have taken many men away from the estate to military roles. Montagu Knight's nephew, Lt. Col. Lionel Knight, inherited the estate, and by 1919 its breakup had started with the sale of 220 acres (Willoughby 10). By the end of the Second World War, country houses seemed to be relics of a lost world. During the war many country houses were requisitioned by the Government for various military purposes. …" @default.
