    I would like a couple of dresses that are replicas of the types of dresses as seen in Jane Austen movies.
    Are you able to lead me to a site where I can buy them?

    thank you, Teresa

    I’m writing my second Regency novel which is mainly set in Bath. I want to get everything as true to history as I can. Jane Austen’s World blog looks a marvellous place to discover things. Thank you. Laurel

  • Podcast Reviews: First Impressions-Why All the Austen Haters Are Wrong

    Image of Victorian woman listening to a podcast with earphonesIn this podcast series First Impressions (59 episodes so far), hosts Kristin and Maggie hilariously discuss the brilliance of Jane Austen and how her novels give us unparalleled insight into our own lives and characters. There’s no shame in loving (and obsessively re-reading) Austen’s novels, which are just as fresh and relevant as they were 200 years ago.
