At the same time Captains Courageous is occupying our attention, we are revisiting Austenian haunts from Bath to Brighton to Barton Park, in preparation for our fall issue of the Journal, Austen in Autumn. (Work has already begun for The Hearth article--we are deeply enjoying designing the wedding cakes and bouquets of Lizzie, Emma, Elinor, Fanny, Anne, and Catherine.) While we travel through the pages of beloved Austen novels, we thought we'd invite you to do the same, and share your favorite with fellow readers. Please take a moment to join our anonymous poll, right sidebar. (And, if, like us, it's difficult for you to choose, you have until August 20th to vote!)
