Squee! We're on a new podcast. My caro sposo and I dusted off our he-said-she-said act for a tussle over the 1995 vs. 2005 Pride and Prejudice adaptations on Period, with Alison Thoet de Castillo. Grateful for the chance to talk #janeausten , #adaptation & #wildforausten www.buzzsprout.com/2592047

Happy birthday Jane Austen! You're looking pretty fresh for 250! p.s. @devoney.bsky.social 's Wild for Austen is highly recommended (including by me, as you can see).

Celebrating Jane Austen’s 250th birthday by reading more of @devoney.bsky.social Wild for Austen!

An energetic exploration of a writer for our times with @devoney.bsky.social, Kate Evans and @beerowlatt.bsky.social. Featuring readings by Susannah Harker (1995 Jane Bennet). Now available to view on the @britishlibrary.bsky.social YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4_V... #JaneAusten

This sort of day won't happen again in my lifetime--a #JaneAusten anniversary of this magnitude. (It's unlikely I'll make it to 2067, the 250th of her death, but I do hope others will carry on!) More about how I & others celebrated this wild time is here: devoney.substack.com/p/the-latest...

Just heard the mighty @devoney.bsky.social give a brilliant talk on her book. If you’re lucky enough to be near one of the stops on her book tour, treat yourself; she’s the best in the biz. And get Wild for Austen, which will change the way you look at one of the biggest names in English lit.

This Sunday #JaneAusten will be on @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social & I'll be a part of it. Wonderful Seth Doane & crew put me at ease. I didn't feel nervous then. I do feel so now at the idea of millions of people watching whatever I said! Here's hoping I did justice to the great novelist & #janeites

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

Delighted to share that prolific Jane Austen expert and author @devoney.bsky.social will be visiting the UK next month, for a number of events promoting her latest book, 'Wild for Austen'. Join us in #Edinburgh, #Durham, #London or #Cambridge. Tickets & info on our Events page. #booksky #JaneAusten

About to dig out those white gloves that go up to the elbows & my #JaneAusten trucker hat! Time to pack for JASNA--a challenge and a treat--having just pressed send on the latest edition of my author newsletter. The next months are going to be a whirlwind. Hope to see you! devoney.substack.com

“Seriously informative and enormous fun.” So grateful for this lovely review of #wildforausten in the Sept/Oct issue of Jane Austen’s Regency World magazine, to which I happily subscribe (and recommend to you). And once again, Happy 250th birthday to #JaneAusten!

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...
