I love this idea! Rebecca Romney, who wrote Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, has curated an exhibition showcasing the women authors Austen read and loved during her lifetime. Of course, this means I need to track down these authors for myself!

I checked the website's validity before posting, and it is a nonpartisan UK daily paper, so it's a listicle with better-educated opinions. 2022 Persuasion is on here, which genuinely surprised me, considering all the hubbub, but hey, I also like it!

I don't think I'll ever tire of people talking about Jane's influence on their lives and work. It's fascinating how a single book can impact so many in so many different ways.

A friend lived near Basildon Park, which played Netherfield in the 2005 P+P. I toured the home, and it was AMAZING. Since so much of the property was used in the 2005 version, the house had an exhibit celebrating the movie. (Basildon Park is NOT mentioned in the article.)
