Thrilled that the audiobook of #WildforAusten (out Sept. 2nd) will be narrated by award-winning Marisa Calin! Calin's voice is enchanting & mellifluous, with just the right amount of humor & sass. Grateful this #JaneAusten book has such a perfect-fit narrator.

Some homophones are also HOMO-phones, as in
bear (big hairy gay man)
bear (big hairy gay man)
You probably learned about homonyms in school: words that are pronounced or spelled the same but differ in meaning.
bear (animal)
bear (carry)
But did you know there are actually two kinds of homonyms: homophones and homographs.
Let’s dew this.

She’s right!
The best nonfiction book I've read in a looooooong time. Book awards were invented for books like this. Scholars, take note...this is a book that unites academia and storytelling in the most thoughtful and rigorous way! Great editing from @katekilla.bsky.social and h/t @bostonglobe.com

I’m assigning this to my Austen seminar for lots of reason including Devoney’s work on Austen and abolition. It’s also a wonderful model for how to write TO the public about cultural history and archival research.

I can say with some confidence that the production company did definitely know this. Because I spent more than an hour, at their invitation, telling them about it.
Re: BBC Arts Jane Austen: Rise of a Genius, I’d like to remind everyone that Austen did have predecessors, most notably Fanny Burney, from whom she took the phrase ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in
Burney’s novel Cecilia. Wonderful as Austen is she does have a female literary heritage to draw from

A few tips for NEH grantees:
1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP.
2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,

Meet-cute at Mansfield Park: can modern covers turn young readers on to Jane Austen?
New editions of her novels are aimed squarely at the BookTok demographic – but will this make these classics appeal to fans of “spicy” romance?
