before anything happens to twitter does anyone want to tell me how ardently they admire and love me

#OnThisDay in 1814, Mansfield Park by Jane Austen was first advertised in The Star newspaper. 📖 Seen here is the title page from one of our first editions. #mansfieldpark #janeausten #OTD

planning on having an austen girl summer (I reject a marriage proposal and spend several months feeling ashamed of my poor conduct until a militiaman of ill repute runs off with my sister and my love interest steps in to save us all from ruin)

“You know how interesting the purchase of a sponge-cake is to me.” 🍰 Jane Austen, writing to her sister Cassandra #onthisday in 1808 #janeausten #janeaustenshouse #letters #letterwriting #OTD

she’s a 10 but she has no money and no prospects. she’s already a burden to her parents. and she’s frightened.

She’s a 10 but with such connections she can have little chance of marrying well

He’s a 10 but he’s the last man in the world you could ever be prevailed upon to marry

She’s a 10—she has thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, all the modern languages, and possesses a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions—but she has not improved her mind by extensive reading.

It’s not true love until someone secretly buys you a pianoforte.

Manifesting: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 A single man 🕯 in possession of a 🕯 good fortune. 🕯️ 🕯 🕯 🕯

Procure that reticule, miss Austen
