Lizzie Rogers is a historian of women's history, collecting, country houses and the eighteenth century. She also loves art, books and period dramas, and is far too passionate about Jane Austen for her own good. Lizzie writes on women's history, museums, art, history on the big and small screen (she's not fussy about where her period dramas are) and reviews books. She recently submitted her PhD thesis at the University of Hull and is currently based in Savannah, Georgia, a southern belle of a US city. View all posts by historylizzie
I adore Jane Austen, I have a bit of an addiction to seeing something Austen related then wanting to venture back with Darcy across the grounds of Pemberley. Help.
Every time I think Jane Austen my thought process is “Pride and Prejudice… Pemberley… Mr Darcy… Colin Firth… Pond… Wet shirt…” I think I also need help!
Very well written and thought provoking article, thank you for the post! Love Austen’s novels and I particularly enjoyed reading your analysis about Anne in Persuasion.
Thank you so much! Persuasion is one of my favourite Austen novels and I really love Anne. I think it’s often forgotten about! I’m really glad you enjoyed it – it was a chance for me to ramble about how much I love Jane Austen (which I bet I’ll post about more and more!)!
