More Jane Austen

Here is an interesting link of illustrations from the Regency period.  They are from a website that provides a hypertext version of the novel.  It is worth investigation. 

Please read chapters 8-10 in the novel.

Pride and Prejudice

Please read through chapter 7 in Pride and Prejudice this weekend.

If you forget your book, there are several ebooks available, since the book is in the public domain.  They can be found through a quick search on a search engine of your choice.
