Embarking on a Course of Study:

From the blog: “A writer, reader, and Austen lover spends a year (or more) embarking on a course of study similar to that perhaps undertaken by Marianne in Sense and Sensibility, without the benefit of Colonel Brandon’s library and with room for diversions, digressions, and (hopefully) fun fieldwork.” Of particular recent interest are blogger Chris Stewart’s visits to the British Library to see Jane Austen’s writing desk (which I failed to do) and Cassandra’s painting at the National Portrait Gallery and her trip to Winchester where Jane died.

Let’s hope her course of study is more than a year; I suspect it’s a lifetime.

PS I, of course, learned about Ms. Stewart’s blog through Vic Sanborn’s Jane Austen’s World.
