English author Jane Austen may have died over 190 years ago, but interests in her novels and life has never been stronger. Today there are new novels and nonfiction books being written by talented and creative authors to suplant the 'need to feed' our obession with Jane Austen and her Regency life. Featured here are articles on Austen prequels, sequels, spinoffs and other Austen-esqu faire. It all started in 1914 when Sybil G. Brinton wrote Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen. Now there are hundreds to choose from! Enjoy.

I ran across this bit whilst reading Northanger Abbey with my budding Janeite:"Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world, no species of composition has been so much decried. From pride, ignorance, or fashion, our foes are almost as many as our readers. And while the abilities of the nine-hundredth abridger of the History of England, or of the man who...

Jane Austen has become the most revered and probably the most popular of the great English novelists. Not even the vulgarisation of her novels by those who have adapted them for television has impaired the esteem in which she is held.

Jane Austen did not invent Colin Firth.Shocking, but true.I've been trying to work out for years the real relationship between Austen and romance novels of the early twenty-first century. She was not, sigh, "the first writer of Regency romances." She wrote contemporary novels.She wrote about marriage for love in a society where everything had its price, but the majority of established married couples in her books are mismatched.
