Paying Calls and Visits — 4 Comments

  1. OMG! That absolutely gives me a headache just thinking about it. Was anyone ever at home? It looks like they spent their time traveling to the various duty calls with friends, neighbors, and such. Mrs. Bennet and her four-and-twenty families kept her and some of her daughters on the road nearly every day… much to the relief of Mr. Bennet, I’m sure. Goodness… everyone was in everyone’s pocket and gossip was rampant. This was interesting. Thanks for sharing.

  2. I’ve just been writing an essay on Austen and this whole blog is so helpful and interesting! Thank you for putting it together, I’ve been giving it a proper stalk haha. And I cannot thank you enough for providing your references – having a further point of research has been invaluable. Just thought you deserved some love for such a brilliant blog! It is a truth universally acknowledged that any reader in possession of a love of Austen must be in search of this blog…
    P.S. I love a goss so would most definitely be bringing the juiciest big of speculation I have. If I had to sew, I’d bring some embroidery. How hard can it be, eh?
