Excessively Diverting<p>We see social mobility throughout Austen and the Brontës' work, from low social order to rich heiresses. Austen was very keen on telling the story of social mobility during her lifetime because she also lived it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmWriting</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ReadingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Regency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Regency</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Georgian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Georgian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/EmilyBronte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmilyBronte</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CharlotteBronte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharlotteBronte</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AnneBronte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnneBronte</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Victorian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Victorian</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/romancelandia" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>romancelandia</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/JaneAusten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JaneAusten</span></a></p>

Excessively Diverting<p>A friend lived near Basildon Park, which played Netherfield in the 2005 P+P. I toured the home, and it was AMAZING. Since so much of the property was used in the 2005 version, the house had an exhibit celebrating the movie.
