The Addicted Austenite

This episode is a review of the Jane Austen inspired Bridget Jones' Diary, just a super, wonderful, brilliant film!

This is the final part of our timeline of events that happened during Jane's lifetime. Listen in for the War of 1812 and the birth of Frankenstein. 

So, this episode is the third part of our timeline epic, looking at the period from 1796 to 1805. 
Note: I have to apologise for the quality of this episode, my laptop is still having trouble but I thought it would be better to have something up rather than nothing. Hopefully, when my laptop is behaving better I will be able to re-record it. 

This is a quick little episode about the Jane Austen news that broke recently about the discovery of a photo album full of Austen family pictures. 

Continuing on from last week, this episode looks at the next ten years of Jane's life from 1786 to 1795, where we shift focus from the American Revolution to the French Revolution. 

This is the first episode to look at the historical events that happened during Jane's lifetime. This is to help you place Jane into her correct historical context and see what events influenced her work. 

This episode takes a look at how a Georgian Christmas looked, what you did and how it was different to Christmases we know today. 

This episode looks at the film Austenland which explores the wonderful world of the Jane Austen fandom. 

To kick off the News Flash episodes, I'm going to talk about Jane Austen being put on British ten pound notes. The note was released in 2017 and has been much talked about before and since. 

This new episode of the Addicted Austenite looks into the time period that Jane lived in. It will cover the difference between Georgian and Regency as well as which George was which. So if you're a little fuzzy on timelines, give this a listen!
