I am curious to know how you all found this site. Would you mind dropping me an email just to say Yahoo, or name another search engine, directory or jumping off point?
Thanks

: : My question is where to get "What Jane Austen Ate..." I could not find it in the catalog. Any help?
:
: That's funny. It does seem like Jane Austen Books would carry that title if it could. I borrowed it from the local public library. Sorry, don't remember the publisher. Maybe someone else here knows more. Author is Daniel Poole. Full tiitle I think is, "What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew."
: Amy
I bought it at Barnes and Noble. Hope you can find it - very educational.

: Sense and Sensibility?
My mother is a Signet Regency Romance writer and has also written a Regency Reference Book that she sells to fellow authors and interested readers. I looked up "Fashions for Ladies" and found the following; " During the Regency white was a dominant color for young women's gowns. The lines were fluid and slim, the neckline for day might be high, or if low, filled in with a discreet fichu or tucker of cambric or muslin. In the evening the necklines dipped extremely low, for the most part." She goes on to describe mourning wear, gown construction, underclothing, gloves and hem length. Well, enough " bibble-babble" for now.

: : Amy, I can't imagine why anyone would need a Regency romance when they could just reread Jane Austen. But maybe we are being snobs about this, and we know that Darcy got into trouble that way.
: I know. I should not condemn anybody. It's good they are reading something.
There still are romances written in the style of Georgette Heyer. My Mom writes Regency romances for Signet under the name, Emily Hendrickson. Give her a try, she's known for being very true to the Regency time period. She definitely does NOT write "bodice rippers". When looking for a decent romance you CAN tell a book by its cover! Try one where the people are fully clothed and look as if the minister is about to call.

I bumped into A&E's Pride and Prejudice by accident on Sunday and I couldn't be happier. I decided to tape it from the beginning, but soon ran out of tape. I will buy it. I'm hooked. I thank you for this site. I know I'll be sad when this ends tonight.
What is the name or who is the composer of the music Darcy & Lizzy were dancing to at the Netherfield ball?

Somebody who knows more correct me, but the title is something like Mr Bevidere's Maggot. It was also used in Emma, though not so elegantly. I have never heard a composer mentioned. It could be she is unknown.

... what all the Jane Austen fuss was about last year. I'm eagerly awaiting the final episode tonight, after total absorption during the first four hours. Am I the only guy who finds Lizzie so appealing that my teeth hurt? And I love the understated humor of Mr. Bennett. I empathize with your addictive afflictions. Regards, Steve

Personally, I could play Catherine to Colin's Heathcliff.

Steve asked:

Nope. There were some others who hung around here a couple of weeks ago who said the same thing. Ian? Ian! I guess we've chased him off.
Let me check something out with you to see if the genders reverse perfectly. It's my opinion that the madness on the part of ordinarily normal women over Colin Firth is not so much over Firth as it is a crush on Darcy as Firth portrays him. Is it the same with you? Is it mostly Lizzie -- aided by Jennifer?
>And I love the understated humor of Mr. Bennett.
I like him a lot too. And he goes to prove that identificaiton does not always have to be gender parallel. I identify with him a great deal, and so do a lot of other women.

Hi all, its Mr Beveridge's Maggot. Carl Davis did the original soundtrack which is out in the music stores around $11.99-$15.99.
Hope that answers your questions. Oh yeah, the one Lizzy dances with Mr Collins is called the Comical Fellow.

I know it also on Emma and tried to see who the original composer
was was it Davies or someone long dead and gone?
The actress who played Mary Bennet is named Lucy Briers. I'm
wondering if she's related to Richard Briers, the British
actor who has been in lots of British tv shows (Good Neighbors,
aka The Good Life, among them) and has lately been appearing
in Kenneth Branagh films (A Midwinter's Tale, Much Ado, etc.).
I think she's about the right age to be his daughter, but I
can't tell if there's any resemblance. (as the Making of P&P
book said, they uglified her for the part of Mary :)
Can anybody shed light on this?

Natalie,
I am sure it is a period piece or it would be on the CD.
Laura the hippy hop thing? It has no composer name attached in the references you have seen either?
I suppose since the music was written as "merely" accompaniment to dancing it was not deemed as immortal as performance music. Maybe not even written down for a long time? Like some church music.
This looks as if it is becoming a question for the FAQ, so anybody with more facts please post and tell.
Amy
