https://amylpatterson.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/england-trip-hay-ladies
England Trip: Hay, ladies! December 2, 2014. Haaaaay there readers. Today I am going to take you on a side trip to a beautiful little place we drove to after we left Stoneleigh. (Remember that place? It’s been a while, so I’ll give you some links to my three-part series about that visit. Part 1. Hay-on-Wye, Powys, Wales. Why, I’ll tell you. To quote from the map they hand out to book nerds (you can find one here. 8211; warning, PDF) (I would have scanned one of ours in but we wrote all over them):. Hay w...

Do you take this man? [Part II] | Amy L. Patterson
https://amylpatterson.wordpress.com/2013/07/05/do-you-take-this-man-part-ii
Do you take this man? July 5, 2013. In Part I, I briefly discussed some of Austen’s clergy and their marriages. One of the things that got me thinking about these marriages was an article referenced by Sarah Emsley in her blog about Mr Collins. Sometimes I think she and I are the only people talking about Mr Collins! I already knew I wanted to write. About his marriage to Charlotte, but when I read Ruth Perry’s Sleeping with Mr. Collins. Of faithfulness, honesty, and morality. 8230; The subjection in whi...

A Pleasant Diversion | Amy L. Patterson
https://amylpatterson.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/a-pleasant-diversion
December 10, 2013. No, this blog is not about music. It is about my own recent (and slightly prolonged) escape from the world of Jane Austen. I reached my saturation point near mid-August when preparing for this year’s JASNA AGM in Minneapolis. (If you visit our shop’s facebook page. But I have pretty strictly abstained from reading Austen, or Austen fiction, or Austen scholarship, or watching Austen movies, because I just can’t handle any more of it right now. The comfort of being sometimes alone! DVD i...

Why, hello there! | Amy L. Patterson
https://amylpatterson.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/why-hello-there
Why, hello there! July 1, 2014. It’s been a while! I stopped writing “for free” for a bit to concentrate on pursuits that involved monetary recompense. But at the moment I am sitting in a “sitting room” in England, using it for what it’s intended, huzzah, and I have a lot of pictures I want to show all of you, and lots of background to those pictures that I think you’ll enjoy. And that is the most important thing, after all, isn’t it. England Trip: Stoneleigh Abbey, Part 1 →. Cancer. My way of dealing.

Sneak Peek | Amy L. Patterson
https://amylpatterson.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/sneak-peek
April 9, 2013. I have a few topics I’m going to be addressing here in the upcoming weeks. I thought I’d give you all a little peek. First, I’m going to talk about Mr Collins’ marriage to Charlotte as a reflection of his “marriage” to the Church. As “judgy” as Elizabeth gets with Charlotte for accepting him, his language relating to his profession indicates that he’s just as mercenary as anyone else in the book. OOOOH, the unprincipled Clergyman! Hilary Mantel Royal Bodies LRB 21 February 2013. When she i...

England Trip: Stoneleigh Abbey, Part 1 | Amy L. Patterson
https://amylpatterson.wordpress.com/2014/07/14/england-trip-stoneleigh-abbey-part-1
England Trip: Stoneleigh Abbey, Part 1. July 14, 2014. The first full day of our England adventure found us hitting two fantastic literary sites. The first was a small, insignificant place in a town no one’s ever heard of. Oh my gosh, no, seriously, we went to Shakespeare’s house. Yes, Shakespeare’s HOUSE. Because it was awesome, that’s why! Yes, this the house in which William Shakespeare was born and grew up. No, I don’t know who those random selfie-taking tourists are in the foreground. Alfred, Lord T...
