Jane Austen for Dummies
The Editrix attended a JASNA regional event on Saturday, at which Professor Joan Klingel Ray, the president of JASNA, spoke. It was a wonderful event, and Professor Ray is a fantastic speaker–if you get a chance to hear her, definitely go! But a piece of news we really wanted to pass along was that Professor Ray told us that she is in the process of writing Jane Austen for Dummies. We cannot WAIT to get our copy! According to Amazon, it is due this August.

She suggested it would be excellent for recruitment purposes, but I think it’s just a way cool idea in general–sort of like the action figure (and I had much the same response when I heard about it: fist in the air and “YESSSSS!”). It’s just one of those totally awesome Jane-intersecting-with-pop-culture things. I can’t explain why it delights me so much, it just does.
And yes, dear Peaches needs a copy, definitely!
