All the Jane that’s fit to print

Janely bits and bobs from around the Interwebs:

– PD James on crime, Jane, boobs, and death. Not necessarily in that order. Via the Guardian.

– Vic is reading Sense and Sensibility in two varieties of Portuguese—as you do—and wonders: What’s a huswife?

– Take that, auctioneers! A ring once owned by Jane sells for over five times the asking price.Via the Telegraph.

– TIME calls the new Jane-themed Facebook game, Jane Austen’s Rogues and Romance, the Mr. Collins of online games. Ouch.

– Want a professional to tell you the story of Emma in the comfort of your very own home? No, not that guy. The Beeb (Radio Edition) has just kicked off a new dramatization; you can catch the first episode if you’re quick, and the second if you’re slow.

Enjoy!

 

Links and love: Cool stuff around the Jane Austen internet

So much cool Jane stuff going on around this here internet! Enjoy, beloved sisters. And robots. (There are probably robots reading this, I’ve decided.)

– Didja hear? PD James’s Austen mystery novel, Death Comes to Pemberley, comes out December 6 in the U.S.; it’s already out in the U.K. A lady can do what she wants when she’s 90, you know?

– Didja know? There’s band called The Jane Austen Argument.

– An interview with delightful fellow blogger—and all-around nice person—Laurel Ann Nattress, of Austenprose and the anthology Jane Austen Made Me Do It.

– Check out this cool embroidery pattern, based on a letter Jane wrote to her brother, Frank! In other, unrelated news, it’s only 45 days until Christmas.

– This is just a really confusing image, especially if you think it’s the cover of a purportedly Regency-era romance where Kate Formerly Middleton wears a cowboy hat. You know, hypothetically. (Heh, you’re going to click now, right? You can’t not click after that gorgeous description.)

Keep calm and Jane on, everybody.
