“Jane Austen, whose tastes often exceeded the contents of her purse, wrote excitedly about visits to stay in Bath … where she browsed ‘Gauzes in a shop in Bath Street’ and marvelled at ‘Almonds & raisins, French plumbs & Tamarinds’ in a grocer’s shop of the ‘dearest kind’ “, writes one of our guest bloggers, Jennie Batchelor, Professor of Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Kent.
Jane was a woman after our own hearts!

“Bath is a charming place, sir; there are so many good shops here. We are sadly off in the country … here one can step out of doors and get a thing in five minutes.” So wrote Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey and it’s still true today.

“My dear Emma, I have told you what led me to think of it. I do not want the match—I do not want to injure dear little Henry—but the idea has been given me by circumstances; and if Mr. Knightley really wished to marry, you would not have him refrain on Henry’s account, a boy of six years old, who knows nothing of the matter?”
“Yes, I would. I could not bear to have Henry supplanted.—Mr. Knightley marry!—No, I have never had such an idea, and I cannot adopt it now. And Jane Fairfax, too, of all women!”
“Nay, she has always been a first favourite with him, as you very well know.”
“But the imprudence of such a match!”
“I am not speaking of its prudence; merely its probability.”

Letter to Cassandra
6 November 1800
It’s been snowing and chilly in our region, so for National Drink Wine Day may we suggest trying some Negus, a hot, spiced wine recipe, created by Sir Francis Negus in the early 18th century. Jane Austen mentioned it in “Mansfield Park” and probably enjoyed it herself!
Here’s a link to a recipe from Austen Family friend Martha Lloyd’s household book (scroll down):

LOVE AND MARRIAGE IN THE AGE OF JANE AUSTEN, by Rory Muir was just released this week by Yale University Press. My copy arrived yesterday. My kitty Emma is enthralled by it and the Jane Austen ornaments. I wonder why???
I hope to have my review posted at austenprose.com soon.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
What happened when Jane Austen’s heroines and heroes were finally wed?
Marriage is at the centre of Jane Austen’s novels. The pursuit of husbands and wives, advantageous matches, and, of course, love itself, motivate her characters and continue to fascinate readers today. But what were love and marriage like in reality for ladies and gentlemen in Regency England?
Rory Muir uncovers the excitements and disappointments of courtship and the pains and pleasures of marriage, drawing on fascinating first-hand accounts as well as novels of the period. From the glamour of the ballroom to the pressures of careers, children, managing money, and difficult in-laws, love and marriage came in many guises: some wed happily, some dared to elope, and other relationships ended with acrimony, adultery, domestic abuse, or divorce. Muir illuminates the position of both men and women in marriage, as well as those spinsters and bachelors who chose not to marry at all.
This is a richly textured account of how love and marriage felt for people at the time—revealing their unspoken assumptions, fears, pleasures, and delights.

“I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other.”
― Jane Austen, Emma
It’s pub day for the new Puffin in Bloom edition of EMMA, by Jane Austen. This stunning new cover was designed by Anna Bond of @riflepaperco .
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Emma Woodhouse believes herself to be an excellent matchmaker, though she herself does not plan on marrying. But as she meddles in the relationships of others, she causes confusion and misunderstandings throughout the village, and she just may be overlooking a true love of her own.
Considered Austen’s masterpiece, Emma is set in the country village of Highbury where Miss Woodhouse rules as the Queen Bee of local society. Trouble ensues when she attempts to matchmake for her friends.
Have you read it? If so, please share your favorite scene or character. Mine is Harriet Smith, Emma’s protege.
