A Contrary Wind:
Did you think Jane Austen was harsh on adultery in Mansfield Park? “The Worst of Stains” (1804) by Henry Summersett is a sort of “Fatal Attraction” morality tale with an explosive ending. Synopsis and review at my blog, “Clutching My Pearls.”

Clutching My Pearls is my ongoing blog series about my take on Jane Austen’s beliefs and ideas, as based on her novels. I’ve also been blogging about now-obscure authors of the long 18th…

From JASNA Communications: Jane Austen Snippet
While staying at Netherfield to support her ailing sister, Elizabeth Bennet uses needlework as a “cover” as she observes Caroline Bingley’s attempts to capture Darcy’s attention.
“Elizabeth took up some needlework, and was sufficiently amused in attending to what passed between Darcy and his companion. The perpetual commendations of the lady, either on his handwriting, or on the evenness of his lines, or on the length of his letter, with the perfect unconcern with which her praises were received, formed a curious dialogue, and was exactly in union with her opinion of each.”
—Pride and Prejudice Volume 1, Chapter 10
No one eclipses Flat Mr Darcy from Cousin A and Flat Jane Austen from JASNA Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho ! Sorry the photo is not level. I had a bit of vertigo yesterday.

“A highlight of Sundays in Bath was to walk in the Royal Crescent and the green slopes of Crescent Fields where you could hope to run into the people you wanted to see or at least to be seen in your best bonnet!” writes Sarah Jane Downing in our latest blog. We say it still is!

Happy National Poetry Month !
Here is a poem by Jane Austen. Her mother Cassandra Leigh Austen was known for her poetry and Jane wrote verse as well.
When Winchester races first took their beginning
It is said the good people forgot their old Saint
Not applying at all for the leave of Saint Swithin
And that William of Wykeham’s approval was faint.
The races however were fixed and determined
The company came and the Weather was charming
The Lords and the Ladies were satine’d and ermined
And nobody saw any future alarming.–
But when the old Saint was informed of these doings
He made but one Spring from his Shrine to the Roof
Of the Palace which now lies so sadly in ruins
And then he addressed them all standing aloof.
‘Oh! subjects rebellious! Oh Venta depraved
When once we are buried you think we are gone
But behold me immortal! By vice you’re enslaved
You have sinned and must suffer, ten farther he said
These races and revels and dissolute measures
With which you’re debasing a neighboring Plain
Let them stand–You shall meet with your curse in your pleasures
Set off for your course, I’ll pursue with my rain.
Ye cannot but know my command o’er July
Henceforward I’ll triumph in shewing my powers
Shift your race as you will it shall never be dry
The curse upon Venta is July in showers–‘.
