Pointers to Austen Online

[Marcy]

I have two recommendations for Austen fans. One is a podcast on which authors Fay Weldon and Joanna Trollope discuss her work--both of them are doing or have done updates of the novels. Trollope did S&S, Weldon doing P&P. Interesting stuff. About a half hour. Go to the iTunes store, Podcasts, The Guardian Books Podcast for December 20th 2013.

The other is a blog with oodles of essays and critiques on Austen and Edith Wharton, mostly Austen: http://sarahemsley.com/

If anyone stumbles across others, post them!

Another article I came across today from The Atlantic: "I Learned Everything I Needed to Know About Marriage From Pride & Prejudice"

Thank you, Holly! It's a very beautiful and interesting article! "Pride and Prejudice" taught me a lot too :) and it's great to see how right Jane Austen's opinions about marriage were.
