Hi there, my name is Maureen...I have had a love for Victorian Literature ever simce late high school and I am dedicating this page to the authors of the era.
This month the spotlight will be on Jane Austen and literary works and adaptions.
If you like the writings of this era you are very welcome on my page.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, first line

WHAT I LIKE
Scene from Northanger Abbey
But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.

HOBBIES
One of my hobbies is to reseach into the background of novels to get a better understanding of the time amd place they were written in
Mansfield Park is a novel by Jane Austen, written at Chawton Cottage between 1812 and 1814. It was published in July 1814 by Thomas Egerton, who published Jane Austen's two earlier novels, Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. When the novel reached a second edition, its publication was taken over by John Murray, who also published its successor, Emma.
