The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide to Her World by Margaret C. Sullivan
A delightful indulgence for self-avowed “Janeites,“The Jane Austen Handbook elucidates the day-to-day practicalities of life for proper young ladies of the Regency era. Within the charmingly illustrated pages of this little volume, you‘ll find how-to advice for riding sidesaddle, paying a morning call, indicating romantic interest without seeming forward, avoiding dancing with an undesirable partner, and much more—all with graceful aplomb, of course! An appendix offers a short biography of Jane Austen, a summary of her works, and a glossary of period terms— particularly useful for readers just beginning to make acquaintance with Austen‘s Catherine Moreland, Emma Woodhouse, or Elizabeth Bennet. From Bas Bleu Booksellers.

Also, please leave comments in English, as only Lady Catherine, had she ever studied a foreign language, would be a great profient enough to read such comments. (Merci! Arigato! Gracias!)
