Reading the Northanger Abbey chapter of @devoney.bsky.social’s latest book and this “turn a Romance into a novel!” table is killing me 😂

'Rarely have the novels of two centuries ago so jumped off the page and into our lives as in Courting Disaster.' - @devoney.bsky.social In her debut book, @thezhm.bsky.social reads between the lines of Regency romances to unveil a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. #booksky

"What does it mean that Jane Austen was hanging out with groups of radicals, and radical politicians and the women in their lives?" ASU English professor @devoney.bsky.social visited with @kjzz.org’s Lauren Gilger about the "real" Jane Austen. Listen: ow.ly/BhPc50X6jPP #ASUHumanities

On the latest episode of the Kickass Women of History podcast, @devoney.bsky.social introduces Sydney Owenson. Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Jane Austen all wrote about about Owenson, so why has so been been largely forgotten by modern readers? Find out here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/3...
