A thing I love about Austen's work is how immensely quotable it is

by
Light green flowered background. There are two lines of medium green curlycues at the top and bottom of the image. The text reads, "And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody." "And yours, he replied, with a smile, "is wilfully to misunderstand them." Below the bottom two golden yellow lines, it says, "Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen"

A thing I love about Austen's work is how immensely quotable it is. All you need to do is open up one of her books and you'll soon enough find a quote to your liking!

Black and white comic of the Brontës man watching on the moors.

Kate Beaton is a comic artist who had a semi-regular web series called Hark! A Vagrant! (harkavagrant.com/). She's ended the series, but her archives are a wonderful backlog of her poking fun at history.

I was not aware that a new S+S is coming down the pipeline!

by

I was not aware that a new S+S is coming down the pipeline! It's from Focus Features (who also did P+P 2005) so hopefully this will be good. Additionally, Fiona Shaw plays Mrs. Jennings here, AND she's playing Lady Catherine de Brough over at Netflix's P+P. She's on an Austen kick!

Beech wood bookshelf. On the shelf is a stack of Austen books, there Austen inspired Funko Pops, an Austen cande, a tube of Austen lip balm, and a coffee cup that says, "Pride and Prejudice" on it.

It's here! My presentation for #VirtualJaneCon2025 is now live! In this presentation, I speak on the beginning of Austenmania and why Janeites are so obsessed with owning Jane. You can find my video 👉🏻 youtu.be/b013KsmrFCo.
