#OTD 1820 Shelley writes "Mary & I are going to study Mathematics. We design to take the most compendious & yet certain method of arriving at the great results — We believe that your right angled Triangle will contain the solution of the problem of how to proceed —"
I probably keep talking about this book. Sometimes there’s that one research source that everything hangs on. For me it’s this one.
Yes! A character is what he does...which should include fetching wine 😄
Everyone refers to 'you must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you' but you're all sleeping on this iconic Darcy quote... 😂 Which Austen lines do you long to hear today? #tgif #itsfriday

I need more sunlight than this. Help. Book is refusing to be outlined until there’s more sun. Or is it the low-carb diet that’s giving me brain fog?
Spooky writing music sets the mood today. What’s your writing music? Mine’s Handel right now. Wonderfully Gothic. Loving #margrietbuchberger #baroque #ilgiratempo
What do you think, fun lunchtime reading or possibly icky lunchtime reading? Are you #teambyron? Or is his behavior just...ugh? Really curious if people think he’s “romantic” or just awful. Shoutout to @EJBrand for this terrific resource.

If you're upset or weary, Austen can soothe you. If you're feeling complacent, she'll puncture your bubble. She's a satirist with a great tolerance and understanding of the forces that act to make people behave wrongly, a cynic who can make us all believe in romance.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY ⚡️⚡️ It goes without saying: this album means a lot to us — and you’d better bet we got super wordy over on our IG/FB — but long story short: THANK YOU FOR LISTENING 🖤🖤

When Barbara Pym was in the literary wilderness (her publishers dropped her after she had written 7 novels), she made a pilgrimage to @JaneAustenHouse, touched her desk, and prayed for inspiration. It worked, she carried on and was nominated for the Booker Prize.
I just gave! Please consider supporting this important historical site!
We know that times are tough for us all right now. If you are able, we would be hugely grateful for your help with a donation to our Survival Appeal to help us protect the future of Jane's beloved home: buff.ly/39kiX8d #JaneAusten
