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.

WARNING: pornography talk (shield the children!)
Moving aside from the cluebat for a moment, I was just trying to imagine what real Jane Austen pornography might be like (if ever there was such pornography; Jane says, “Heaven forbid!”) I suppose there would be a lot of gossip of who would be the most agreeable “partner” and then some extended nude “rambles” in the gardens.

Don’t know how much money that library will raise with this venture, but I’d chip in a Euro to see the nekkid man balloon in the next Macy’s parade.

Errors and idiocy aside. That is brillant and I would pay (at least once) to hear it!

Oh, sure; I was just reacting to the Jane Austen = Victorian = bodice ripper meme.
Real Victorian bodice-rippers might be kind of fun!
