I’m all about taking time out, even for 15 minutes, if I get overwhelmed! Now that the holidays are over, getting that recharge time is a lot easier.

Be forewarned if you haven't seen Materialists yet, this does a really deep dive into the movie while cross-referencing Jane.

It's more of an article discussing the yearly Jane Austen Festival in Bath rather than a special event; however, this does go into one of the locations, the Francis Hotel. The Francis Hotel is a Grade I hotel in Bath. (A Grade I structure means it is a building of significant interest.)

I think it's safe to say that Austen's work illuminates the Regency era while the Brontës rebelled the Victorian era. What do you think?

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

Her spins on the Brontës and Austen never fail to amuse me.

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!

2025-08-01T15:18:04Z

With Austen, it's of two societal classes trying to make it work. The exception would be "Emma" and "Northanger Abbey." With the Brontës, , such as Jane, a governess to Rochester's niece (so definite class imbalance), and Heathcliff was a servant to Cathy. What are your thoughts on this topic?

A well-thought-out piece on Austen, her influence, and where to start reading her works. The author is cognizant that where to start with Austen is super subjective so she breaks down what book you should read and why.

Hey, it's Friday! Mr. Lisa and I are going to get mani/pedis tomorrow (Saturday), and then it's asparagus season so a local library is doing a poetry event with asparagus as the theme called Ode to Asparagus. Also, probably some gardening if the weather holds.

This essay develops deep into Jane's "The History of England from the Reign of Henry IV to Charles I," which she wrote when she was 15. It also compares how Austen used history as a plot point in "Northanger Abbey." I've never gotten my hands on Jane's history book; has anyone read it?
