We’ve been sitting on this a bit because we like to read things that we link to before we link to them, but time has been scarce this week, so caveat websurfer. Melissa Mann wrote a “blogus” (a combination of “blog” and “bogus”–in other words, a blog written by a fictional character) in the voice of Mary Bennet, and has collected it into a single PDF that can be downloaded from her site. We’re sure Mary blogs as well as she does everything else *cough* and we would love to hear what our Gentle Readers have to say about it.

Mansfield Park earrings at Austen Inspirations

Erine wrote to tell us that she has added a collection of earrings inspired by Mansfield Park to her Web site. We like the description of the “Fanny Price” earrings:

Sensible, yet distinct. Beautiful, but often overlooked. These earrings have all the characteristics of our dear, dear Fanny.

Nice!

If you would like to purchase them, respond on her livejournal or e-mail her at austen DOT inspirations AT gmail DOT com (that’s an e-mail address; read it out loud).

In other news, water is wet

Will they ever learn? Once again, for the dull elves in the back:

Jane Austen. Not Victorian. Did not write smut.

We hope you took notes. There will be a quiz, and every wrong answer is worth three swings of the Cluebat. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
