One of my favorite blogs on the blogosphere is ::Surroundings:: by interior designer Linda Merrill. Linda, who is a fan of the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice, has been hard at work finding scrumptious pieces of furniture and objects d’art that would fit perfectly inside Netherfield Park, Longbourn, and Pemberley. Click on the following links to view her interior shots of these fabulous houses and some of the objects you can order today.

Hi I have become a huge fan of Jane Austen. I am looking for information about the corset I would like to know about the neoclassicism perpective of the corset.
Extremely superb article, very informative information. Never thought I’d discover the information I would like right here. I’ve been hunting all over the web for some time now and had been starting to get irritated. Thankfully, I happened onto your page and acquired exactly what I had been struggling to find.
