Poem of the day
L'Allegro

Hence loathèd Melancholy

eri: bener-bener ragu buat selesain pride & prejudice bcs i haven't read a book in a while and god... imo the language is pretty complicated though i'm aware that this is a classic book and perhaps this is the signature writing style of jane austen
Blanca Pujals: Per un tema estic buscant frases de Jane Austen. Algú em pot dir quina és la bona?
“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.” o "Now we are worse than exes, we are friends"???
Megan Balfour: “There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved.”
-Jane Austen, Persuasion

LucindaLC: A look under the bonnet: why our fascination with the Regency era endures
Reclaiming Jane Podcast: It’s that time again…we’re recording our second 6 Degrees of Jane Austen episode soon! What topics do you want to hear us try to connect to Austen??
