My latest Pride and Prejudice Variation is out. What if Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet meet at Pemberley before the Meryton Assembly? And what if Mr. Darcy insulted her, as usual? This is an alternative first impressions novel with an enemies-to-lovers trope.

- Jane Austen.🌱
Did you really think I was done with Regency content? 😂

Brilliant day in Steventon celebrating 250 years since Jane Austen’s birth - a proud part of Basingstoke’s heritage.
Thanks to Peter for the tour, and to Marilyn, Tamsin & all the amazing volunteers. Great to catch up w Summerdown Farm & hear from Lucy Worsley and Deborah Charlton👏 #JaneAusten250
I love this quote. It sounds so modern. Emma is quite a remarkable character.
Your quote of the day- "I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other." -Jane Austen

My colleague, Isabella Bruno, developed a great resource for those who need access to academic publications but are not affiliated with academic organizations.
Fellow Janeite here. Love her books.
Oh wow! A great year for Austen
A wrapper that has yellowed with age. On it is text that reads: "Biscuits for the funeral of Mrs. Oliver. Died November 7th, 1828. Aged 52." Along with a prayer.
THREAD on the practice of "SIN-EATING" 🧵
In 19th-century Britain, it was customary during a funeral to provide biscuits for mourners to take away. They were often wrapped and sealed in black wax. Here you see an example of a funeral biscuit wrapper from 1828. 1/9
