Guilt and misery: repost of my review of #JaneAustin's Mansfield Park, for #AustinInAugust.
I was being a cultured #Queer, watching a Public Television adaptation of an unfinished #Georgian-era romance novel, when an aristocrat confessed to his male confidant that “most men enjoy pheasant but I prefer grouse”. I thought my English was OK but I barely figured out from context that the guy was outing himself. I suppose being obtuse was one of many necessary safety precautions back then.

Stolen from @bookhoarding on twitter. What a wonderful idea:
"Happy birthday to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice!
Please reply with your favorite gifs, quotes and pics of all the various adaptations of this iconic novel."
Her gif is attached.

Washington College is doing an English Country Dancing Class this spring. Fortunately, the militia isn't encamped in town (thanks, constitution), but I fully expect a man of good fortune to be properly entangled in misunderstandings and romance.
