Rari reviews "His Libertine" by Stephanie Lake, a Regency Lords novel:

"I rated the book five stars, because it’s a well written book with some good character work and an intriguing plot. If you’re into historical gay romances, you will definitely love this one."

A friend lived near Basildon Park, which played Netherfield in the 2005 P+P. I toured the home, and it was AMAZING. Since so much of the property was used in the 2005 version, the house had an exhibit celebrating the movie. (Basildon Park is NOT mentioned in the article.)

Baroque Mongoose

An interesting interlude in the history of corsets: the Regency period. The lady shown here is wearing short stays; she seems to be quite well-endowed, so she probably needed them for support, but interestingly this was about the only period of history between about the 16th century and the beginning of the 20th when you could get away without a corset at all. The fashionable silhouette was far more natural than in either the preceding Baroque period or the subsequent Victorian period.

Engraving showing a Regency lady being dressed by her maid. The lady is standing in a Greek kind of pose, with one hand on her hip and the other by her side, and she's looking over her shoulder into a mirror which is really quite annoyingly wonky. The artist clearly did not have a mirror in their studio, because they have drawn the reflection all wrong; the mirror should be showing the lady's back, but in fact it's a front side view. We should not be able to see any of the front of her in the mirror! Anyway, all that aside, the main point of the picture is that she's wearing short stays. This was a kind of mini-corset that supported the bust and just went down as far as the waist; it didn't rise much above the middle of the bust. She's also wearing a very plain, simple petticoat. The maid wears a short-sleeved dress with a square neck. There is a table under the mirror with a hat on a stand on it; the hat has an elaborate plume. There's also a chair and a three-legged footstool. Behind the maid is a window with elaborate curtains.

This essay is an excerpt from the book "Jane Austen's Bookshelf." To sum up, Austen was inspired by many, many women writers from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Those writers are mostly forgotten, but this book brings them back to light.

Murder is a new one. Wouldn't that be delicious if Jane was murdered? (And I mean that in an interesting way...who would want to murder Jane??)

Jane Austen's grave.
HistoryExtraLupus, lymphoma – or murder? Why Jane Austen's mysterious cause of death has puzzled historians for yearsIn BBC drama Miss Austen, Jane's sister Cassandra is on a mission to destroy a cache of letters following the 41-year-old Jane's death. But by destroying these documents, which may have contained key medical details about Jane's final illness, Cassandra denied historians vital evidence, causing wild theories about her cause of death to swirl for years. Hilary Mitchell investigates how much we know about the real story…
