It is a truth universally acknowledged that you know the drill. This week Lizzie Rogers and I watched Lost in Austen (2009) and talked about lipgloss, Mr Darcy, and the Austen Romance Industry. We also dug into what happens when historic houses become fictional sites, and tried to understand just what it is about Pride and Prejudice that people can't get enough of.
We mentioned:
Colonial Countryside, and the work of the National Trust to unravel connections to colonialism at its properties - specifically the amazing work of Professor Corrine Fowler
They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers, and some of the other recent examinations of gender and slave ownership.
and some modern versions of Pride and Prejudice, including Pride by Ibi Zoboi
