Jane Austen wrote not only unique characters but some pretty interesting couples as well. Some of them were a product of the era they were written in (looking at you Charlotte Lucas) but others are just plain quirky no matter what century you put them in. Of course in my opinion (and I suspect for …
Well, it’s the new year, folks, and time for a brand new Pride and Prejudice variation. This one is a bit of a departure for me because it features a Darcy who is a bit more angsty. Usually, like Lizzy, I like to laugh just a little bit at dear Mr. Darcy, but this time …
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe it is 2018. It seems each year passes more quickly than the last! But being January 1, we at Jane Austen Variations want to continue a tradition we have had during this month, and that is Jane in January. We like changing things up a bit, however, so …

In early December, I had the joy of a trip to Venice. Naturally, I tried to relate my experiences and sights to Jane Austen (as one would do). In her day, wealthy young men were often sent on a Grand Tour, which generally included Italy; and her own brother Edward was one of these travelers. …
“What say you, Miss Lydia, shan’t we have such decorous items in our own home one day?”
For today’s Jane Austen Advent Calendar post, I am going to share with you something I experienced a few weeks ago. I was able to step into Pemberley and share in the Christmas festivities with Darcy and Elizabeth, admire the beautiful drawing room, enjoy watching our favorite couple interact with family, friends, and each other, …
