We heard from Jane Austen’s Regency World Magazine, which has gone on sale in the UK. (We are asked to tell overseas subscribers, particularly in the U.S. and Canada, that due to the recent severe weather in the UK, delivery of the new issue may be delayed by 7-10 days.) To whet your appetite, check out the articles in the new issue:
Sense & Sensibility at 200: Leading writers look at the history, relevance, importance and morality of Jane Austen’s first published novel
What price Paradise? Life as a Jewish person in Regency England
Wives by Advertisement: The risks and rewards of Georgian lonely hearts’ adverts
Jane Austen and Robert Burns: What she really thought about the Scottish poet
Jane Austen edited by a man: One writer’s angry response to recent news reports
The new curator at Jane Austen’s House Museum reveals what Jane means to her
Plus: All the latest news from the world of Jane Austen, as well as letters, book reviews, quiz, competition and news from JAS and JASNA
For further information and to subscribe visit www.janeaustenmagazine.co.uk. If you subscribe now, we believe you will receive the January/February issue as part of your subscription.
Also: The March/April 2011 issue of Jane Austen’s Regency World magazine will be the 50th issue! Wow!
Thanks for the info!
Anybody know if the issue is available in the U.S. on newsstands? I can’t get a subscription, but this issue sounds great so I’d splurge.
Thanks much.

I don’t think it is, though you can buy individual back issues. Let me write to them and find out.

Thank you, Mags. That’s so kind, but don’t trouble yourself, please! There’s way too much to do this time of year! I’ll just get a back copy. Thanks for keeping us updated on JA stuff and congrats on your novella.
Happy Holidays : )

Hi Anievan
Sadly, we don’t sell the magazine through newstands. Janeaustenbooks.net sell individual issues, as do the Jane Austen Centre in Bath. A full year’s subscription, including postage, is available via our website http://www.janeaustenmagazine.co.uk
Season’s greetings to all Janeites, whichever part of the world you may be in.
