Can anyone recommend sources on women and political economy in the nineteenth century? I’m thinking about the perception of old money vs new money, as well as the prejudice that women would be inactive in money and property management due to their gender. Please and thank you 🙂

It’s Jane Austen’s birthday today, and it would absolutely make my day - month, year! - if you ordered my books (the first on her, the second featuring her) for yourself or your library 😊 peterlang.com/document/12549… routledge.com/Reading-the-Ro…

Joel Kim Booster’s Fire Island has been my favourite reimagining of a Jane Austen novel since Andrew McInnes first introduced me to it, and we were filled with love for this movie when we wrote this, now out on Austen’s own birthday! 🎁 jasna.org/publications-2…

I missed 18th Century Studies last year, so I'm even more excited to be making my way to Oxford today for this year's conference. I will be presenting on Wednesday on Mary Verney’s inheritance of Claydon House, as part of my research at UGent. Looking forward to seeing everyone! #BSECS2025

Now that the birthday of the person this was a gift for has passed, I can share the gorgeous commission that my incredibly talented friend Dr CJ Readioff (@fierengraw.bsky.social) made for me 🤩
