The Jane Austen Tea Diet

Filed under: Jane in the News — Mags @ 5:28 pm

Well, not really, but eDiets.com has an article about the health benefits of tea that includes a couple of references to Jane Austen.

There’s something so charming about the concept of afternoon tea. Sitting down at a table, elegantly pouring from a flowered teapot, slowly sipping a steaming cup of tea — it all reminds me of Jane Austen and Miss Manners.

Except that they didn’t really have afternoon tea in Jane Austen’s day. Still, the Editrix always craves pots and pots of tea whilst she watches the latest film adaptation of PERSUASION, because they’re always drinking some!

Possible New NORTHANGER ABBEY Film

Filed under: Screen — Mary @ 5:01 pm

A link found via The Republic of Pemberley has information on what may be a new adaptation of Northanger Abbey. Although there is little information given, we at AustenBlog feel that this may be a modern adaptation due to the filming locations listed. As always, the AustenBlog staff will keep its readers informed of any new information concerning this project. And we stress that this information has not been verified in any way.

EDIT: Apparently Nuria at The Republic of Pemberley was having a bit of fun on “Innocents Day”, which is the equivalent to April Fools Day. We must say we had our suspicions after reading that Catherine was going to visit the wilds of Vegas! Good one, Nuria, always keeping us on our toes!
