She’s such a vivid student of human character that most of her characters can transcend time.

I was checking out B&N’s new Nook and was perusing the Features portion. Thought it was interesting that they used P&P (“It’s a truth universally…”) to show how easy it is to read the display. I think they sold me just because of that!! And maybe a couple other features!

If only because he is unaware that Jane Austen didn’t populate her novels with grotesque characters in southwestern England. That was Thomas Hardy, Mr Fulford. PLEASE, if you are going to use English geography in an argument, get it right! Only Sir Walter, in this case. And Lucy Steele, if you remember her at all. Not Lady Catherine, though- she’s SOUTHEASTERN!!!!

Well done, indeed. Your comments about the relevance of JA’s moral view in today’s world is spot on. Enjoyed the article.
