The very first AustenBlog (sort of)
We were reminded of another interesting link: The Alberta Burke Notebooks at Goucher College’s Julia Rogers Library. Mrs. Burke was an inveterate collecter of Austeniana, including newspaper clippings mentioning Jane Austen, which she pasted into notebooks and eventually bequeathed to Goucher College. The notebooks from the early 1940s contain many clippings about (go figure) the first film version of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The AustenBlog editorial staff senses a kindred spirit in Mrs. Burke and encourages all Janeites to check out the site. It is a fascinating look at one Janeite’s view of Jane Austen in popular culture.
