john austen's 1922 hamlet illustrations are really something
Review for A #Georgian Heroine:
Reading the first few pages of this absorbing #biography, it is hard to believe that the authors haven't concocted a wild historical spoof, for this truly is an amazing story – #JaneAusten's #Regency World. @penswordbooks

My more neglected hobby is reading. I often illustrate the front cover in my sketchbook, almost guiltily, to excuse the lack of other drawing in it when I spend a few days devouring a book!
Below is Jane Austen's Emma.

Imogen is as if Anne of Green Gables's Josie Pye (1985) met Jane Austen's Emma (book version).

John Austen's illustrations for Tales of Passed Time (1922)
Did you know we hold a range of Literary Gothic in Special Collections?
In particular Jane Austen's 'Northanger Abbey', a name that conjures visions of the ‘ancient edifices’.

I love Jane Austen's books-she inspired me to write and paint! #JaneAusten
Fun Fact: Jane Austen's books were originally published anonymously. Sense & Sensibility's was simply written 'By A Lady." When Pride and Prejudice was published, the page read “by the author of Sense and Sensibility.” Austen wasn't credited until after her death.

Jane Austen's books give so much pleasure that it's impossible not to wonder what happens to her characters after the books have finished, or in other guises and different times. As for Jane herself, she makes the perfect heroine. Thank you Jane for being such an inspiration!
“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!."
#OnThisDay in 1811 Jane Austen's first novel, Sense and Sensibility, was published.

Today is the anniversary of #JaneAusten's death, and in her honor we recommend reading MARY B. by Katherine J. Chen, a little "Pride & Prejudice" from Mary's POV:

#OnThisDay in 1813, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was first published.
"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."
Happy book birthday to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, first published on January 28, 1813.
