Book Give Away: The List Lover’s Guide to Jane Austen by Joan Strasbaugh

June 1, 2013 by Vic

The List-Lover’s Guide to Jane Austen is a quick, easy reference guide for all things Jane Austen. When you enter a JA trivia quiz, you can quickly become an expert by looking up the books Jane read, her #1 pet peeve, the people in her social circle, the balls she attended, who broke her heart and the hearts she broke, etc.

Joan Strasbaugh has created the first-ever list-only biography! Written mostly in 140 characters or less, this volume is jam-packed with information presented as lists or charts.

The flowers in her garden
Her royal ancestors
Particulars about her wardrobe
What she did for fun
Characters in her book
Where she traveled
The items she possessed
Where she worshipped
Where she lived and shopped
Contemporary descriptions of her features

The lists go on and on. (Click here for a view inside the book). The book provides a comprehensive overview of her life. Nieces and nephews born after she died are not listed, and places her friends or family may have traveled (but there’s no evidence she did) are not included. The lists do include friends’ and relatives’ firsthand accounts and reminiscences from neighbors and people who crossed her path.

Four out of five Regency tea cups

My impressions of this book are positive. Any time I need to review a fact, I can turn to it and quickly find the information. The cover is attractive but I found the print a bit hard to read. This book will be helpful to Janeites, teachers, students, authors, and anyone interested in the Regency era. I give it 4 out of 5 Regency teacups.

About the Author

Joan Strasbaugh has been a proud Janeite for half of her life. She now works as the senior editor of Abbeville Press in New York, and notably organized the Jane Austen in the 21st Century Humanities Festival at the University of Wisconsin. She is currently spearheading the A former publisher at Jones Books, Strasbaugh also holds a membership to the Jane Austen Society of North America.

The biggest surprise in putting this book together was discovering the sheer number of social contacts, places visited, and characters in her books. Her social circle was enormous and her travels many, mirrored in her novels by the sixty plus characters and forty plus locations in Sense and Sensibility, for starters.

My sister-in-law, her best friend, and our daughters are planning a Jane Austen pilgrimage to England, and this book looks like the perfect source to get everyone up to speed — not all of us are Janeites! I certainly hope we win the contest. :)
on June 1, 2013 at 12:40 J.A. Beard

Oh, definitely interested in seeing all where she lived and who she knew.
on June 1, 2013 at 12:41 awilpula

I love everything Jane! I’d love to add this book to my collection! Pick me pick me! The little tidbits that help us to understand more about the woman behind the stories and characters she created is what I crave to know more of!
on June 1, 2013 at 12:45 ladyofquality

I’d like to know who the people were that inspired all of her characters; knowing Jane, I imagine they all have their real life doppelgängers.
on June 1, 2013 at 12:49 ellaquinnauthor

I’d never heard of the book. What a great idea! I tweeted.
on June 1, 2013 at 12:53 Courtney F.

I’m curious about her leisure activities and her circle of friends.
on June 1, 2013 at 12:55 Tracy Edingfield

I’d like to know more details concerning what people wore during Regency times, the educational curriculum of a male, how the cant developed and what some of the terms mean.
on June 1, 2013 at 12:57 Jennifer Iley

I am always interested in food history and culture. I would love to know what she liked to eat and her thoughts on food.
on June 1, 2013 at 13:10 Lúthien84

As mention in the points above, I am curious who broke her heart as I can’t imagine anyone would do that. I would like to know what her pet peeves is.

I wonder whether this contest is open worldwide or not because it is not mentioned in your post.
on June 1, 2013 at 13:31 Veronica Stevens

I can’t wait to get a copy of this book! It sounds wonderful and just what we’ve been needing. Thank you!!
on June 1, 2013 at 13:32 Laura

this sounds like such an interesting book! i’d love to know all about jane, haha:-) especially about the people she knew and things she liked! x
on June 1, 2013 at 13:53 Kirk C

I’m curious to see what’s included in the book about Jane Austen’s letters. Also, things she liked and disliked.
on June 1, 2013 at 14:13 Vesper

I would like to know more about her mother or where did she get the inspiration for Mrs Bennett
on June 1, 2013 at 14:27 Vera

Wow, that book looks so interesting!
I would love to learn more about Jane’s everyday life – from her daily schedule, the books she read, the music she played/heard/danced to and the food she ate, to the people she met, etc. – because I think all these things, trivial as some of them may seem, make her writing with it’s keen and witty observations of normal life so special and entertaining!

P.S. Also wondering whether this is giveaway is open to readers worldwide?
on June 1, 2013 at 14:51 Trisha

I’d love to know about Jane’s royal ancestors! This book looks like one I’ll be adding to my collection, even if I don’t win it.
on June 1, 2013 at 14:58 Kirsten McElroy

I want to know what Jane Austen did for fun, besides going to a country ball! What did she do each day, in addition to reading and writing?? I REALLY hope to win this incredible book!! I’ve loved Jane Austen for ages….
on June 1, 2013 at 14:58 Angela Merrithew

Oh, what a cool book! I love lists :) I’d like to be able to see at a glance what Jane’s favorite fashion trends were, or what she wore… or anything related to Regency clothing!
on June 1, 2013 at 14:58 mefoley

Jane Austen famously wrote on a table in the dining room and wouldn’t let the squeaky hinge on the door be oiled, because it gave her time to put the manuscript away so people wouldn’t know she was a writer. Woolf mentions it in A Room of One’s Own, implying that this is society working against the woman artist. BUT BUT BUT I moved to England, and found myself living 30 minutes from Jane Austen’s house — I’ve been there several times and in fact I’m taking some people there tomorrow. But there are all *kinds* of extra rooms. Jane could have had her own study if she’d wanted. Why did she write on the little table in the dining room and worry about privacy, when she could have had a Room of Her Own??
on June 1, 2013 at 14:59 DaisyGirl

I would love to know what flowers she might have had growing in the garden and had available to arrange. Sounds like a great book to have!
on June 1, 2013 at 15:03 Maria

As a list maker & Jane Austen student, this book sounds wonderful! I’d love to know what she thought about the fact that she, her mother, and her sister had to wait for her brother Edward to find a place for them to live, when he had 2 grand estates with cottages. Weird.
- on June 1, 2013 at 17:34 Anne
  
  I would like to know that, too!
on June 1, 2013 at 15:14 Martha Stoddard Holmes

I would like to know how she cared for her skin, what her favorite color was, and whether she had any phobias. Would love a book!
on June 1, 2013 at 15:27 mefoley

(Vic, would I be out of order if I post a link to my blog post about my first visit to Jane Austen’s house? I’ll trust you can just delete it if I’m being tedious. http://mefoley.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/a-visit-to-miss-austen )
on June 1, 2013 at 15:43 Mary Goodwin

I would love to know more about Sidmouth and her romance there. Also, love details about clothes, the food they would have eaten, and their tea (preferences and how they prepared it). Thank you to Sourcebooks for this contest…would love to win a copy.
on June 1, 2013 at 16:49 Melody

I’d love to win this book! There are plenty of subjects I would like to have a better knowledge of concerning JA… but something that comes to mind is that I could know a lot more about her family than I do, and that would be a nice thing to learn. :)
on June 1, 2013 at 16:56 Otina

I would like to know what Miss Austen’s favorite novel was (both someone else’s work and her own).
on June 1, 2013 at 17:09 Bev

I must have this book on my shelf;) I would like to know about her every day routine, how she started her mornings and ended her day. Thank you for offering this giveaway!
on June 1, 2013 at 17:23 Annabel Mallia

What was Jane’s favourite food and did she ever cook? What fruit and vegetables did the Austen’s grow in their garden (if any)? Did they make their own preserves? What did she use for shampoo…and a million other questions I wish I could ask her.
on June 1, 2013 at 17:33 Anne

I would like to know what kind of jewelry she had and wore. As a dramaturg for the upcoming world premiere of a new stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”, this book would be extraordinarily useful!
on June 1, 2013 at 18:08 Suzan

I’m curious about fashion. In her letters, she makes reference to buying fabric and white being in style, but I want to know more!
on June 1, 2013 at 18:52 junewilliams7

her #1 pet peeve, … who broke her heart and the hearts she broke, etc.

She broke hearts?? I hope she wasn’t as harsh with them as Lizzy was with Darcy at Hunsford. And what is her #1 pet peeve??

Does the book also tell us why her rich brother took so long to help his mother and sisters?
on June 1, 2013 at 20:42 Janefollower1

My interest relates to critical dates in Jane’s life, along with day-to-day details of Regency life.
on June 1, 2013 at 22:35 marie landry

I am always amazed that most people seem to walk every day as an exercise, but it is what they wore on their feet that I would really like to know more about. The shoes they wore then, were most certainly not made for walking long distances I would not imagine.Also health and all female toiletries,things that we know take for granted.
Thank You for this blog I love it
on June 1, 2013 at 23:16 Jeanne Talbot

Would love to know more about JA’s love of music, when and why she played the pianoforte, what sorts of music she loved best, etc.
on June 1, 2013 at 23:21 Tina

I would love to know what Jane did in her spare time. Did she knit, embroider, read or what ?
on June 2, 2013 at 00:49 Cheyenne

I would love to know if she had a favorite author or book, as well as where her favorite place was!

This book looks like such a fun read! :-)
on June 2, 2013 at 00:57 Lilyane Soltz

I would love to know how she managed to know so much about the human condition. It’s uncanny, really, her insight and keen eye. Amazing!

This looks like a wonderful book!
on June 2, 2013 at 02:50 l

I’d like to know more about fabrics used in clothing and how fashion changed during her lifetime..
on June 2, 2013 at 03:38 Laura H.

I’d like to know more about her fashion and housing.
on June 2, 2013 at 08:53 Barbara

What a great idea for a book! Did she waltz? Play Beethoven sonatas? And even tho she and her sister were close didn’t she and Cassandra ever squabble like real siblings?….love your posts, Vic. Nice to know there are so many oter fans of JA out there!
on June 2, 2013 at 12:23 Erna

Another lover or lists! That would be fun to see – especially re: Jane Austen.
on June 2, 2013 at 12:45 Cindy M.

I am interested in everything “Jane.” This book will make a great addition to my already growing library.
on June 2, 2013 at 13:00 Cara Dragnev

OOOOOOH! This book is such a great idea! I would be interested in any preferences she may have had. Books, food, people….anything! Thank you for doing this give-away! :D
on June 2, 2013 at 15:17 Kelli H.

This book sounds like so much fun. Thank you for the giveaway. I would love to know if there was someone in Jane’s life who inspired the dashing Mr Darcy.
on June 2, 2013 at 15:26 Aurora

I would love to read this lovely book since I adore Jane Austen. It would also be an exceptionally beautiful present for my upcoming journey to Jane Austen’s Bath. Another reason? My upcoming birthday. Thank you for a chance to win this book.
on June 2, 2013 at 15:32 Aurora

I forgot to write that I would like to know something about her best friends.
on June 2, 2013 at 19:12 Suzanne

I love lists and of course, JA,
so this book is a happy marriage
of both that I look forward to
reading!

I would like to know what sorts
of gifts that Jane received over
the years and which were her
favorites, as well as the types
that she liked to give to others.

Thank you for the opportunity
to win this gem!
on June 2, 2013 at 20:48 Kiera

I’d love to have at hand a book of facts about JA to dip into at will, from her pet peeves to the dances she danced!
on June 2, 2013 at 20:55 marilyn ritter

I am interested in what books she liked to read.
on June 2, 2013 at 22:36 hilarymoonmurphy

Like Marilyn, I am interested in the books that Jane Austen read.
on June 2, 2013 at 23:16 Michele Lowwy

Her books are famous for mentioning very little if anything of current or world events. Did she take an interest in those events?Did she read the newspaper?
on June 3, 2013 at 00:42 Amy

Looks like a fun and informative book! I once read that Emily Bronte studied German while making the household’s bread – she would prop the book open in front of her while kneading the dough. The image has always stuck with me, and I would love to know more about the domestic aspects of Jane Austen’s life. What household tasks might she have helped with? What kind of meals would she have prepared or eaten at home? Did she help with any household cleaning or laundry? Did she work in the garden? And so on :)
on June 3, 2013 at 02:40 Joy

Did you say royal ancestors? Can’t wait to read about this!
I love books of lists.
on June 3, 2013 at 04:21 Kaisa Mikkonen

I would love to learn more about Jane’s everyday life and about the books she liked.
on June 3, 2013 at 05:53 jenni peters

I’m interested in her favorite escapes, where she went to get away from our all, as well as more detail on her childhood, pet, etc.
on June 3, 2013 at 07:29 Alison M.

Love to enter if you’re sending to the UK.
on June 3, 2013 at 10:19 Nancy

Bring on the lists of real life in the Regency Era! The whole “language thing” is so important to me. I love the many twists and turns of the evolving English language and find dialogue in the parlance of the day fascinating!
on June 3, 2013 at 11:32 Elaine Lyons Bach

I have always wondered what the symptoms were of the disease which took Jane’s life so early and whether these symptoms figured in her remaining single. She did accept a marriage proposal and then cancel it the next morning. What thoughts went through her mind to cause this?
on June 3, 2013 at 12:15 Egypt Rose

I love and value friendship so much. I’m interested to know if she has any female friends, other than her mom and her sisters, what role they had in her life, how much they supported her…
on June 3, 2013 at 14:42 Emily

I’d love to see the authors lists on things like: what Jane took with her traveling, maybe bucket list type stuff…I know they didn’t have bucket lists back the but there must have been things she wanted to do/see/experience during her life.
on June 3, 2013 at 14:47 Monica Dami

I would like to know what were Jane’s favorite books and authors. I’d also like to know how Jane passed her free time: did she paint, embroider, etc…
on June 3, 2013 at 18:49 W Lesso

I wanted to know several things about Jane Austen. Recently I designed a website for our region and wanted to know what color Austen liked the best for the background. I guessed green but I think it might have been yellow. In P&P, Caroline Bingley looks horrible in that color dress but Lizzie Bennet seems to look good! I need to find out.

I am interested in her favorite music, the flowers in her garden, what she wore, and what she liked to eat.
on June 4, 2013 at 03:21 Rosalie Adams

It’s easy to see in her novels and letters how important Jane’s family members were to her. Because of this I would like to know more about her brother George Austen. This was the brother who, because of illness,lived apart from the family.What illness was he suffering from? Was he ever brought home at times to be part of his loving family? But most of all, I would like to know more about Jane’s feelings about her missing brother George. Was sending away family members with special needs common at this time? Did the Austen family truely feel living apart from his family was the best course for George, or was he an embarrassment to them? These are questions I’ve always wondered about. Rosalie Adams

  Rosalie hi,
  Like you I often wondered what had happened to George Austen, the second son born to George and Cassandra Austen. Then, a few months ago I bought quite a few back issues of the magazine, Jane Austen’s Regency World including Issue 52 which had an article on George Austen.
  
  http://www.janeaustengiftshop.co.uk/collections/regency-world-magazine/products/magazine-jane-austens-regency-world-issue-52
  
  It was very informative and, although, not a lot is known, many questions were answered in the article and information from all sorts of sources was brought together. Please let me know if you want to know more about the article.
  My email is: john.sweby@btinternet.com

I’ve got so many articles and books now on my “Jane Austen must read” bookshelf that one more won’t matter. I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my original comment. Did I understand correctly that those lovely pinbook sets are for sale?If so, I’m interested in set 2. Could you please give me the price in dollars and what postage would be? Thanks for your time. Fellow Jane nut, Rosalie Adams PS. I live in California in the USA

on June 4, 2013 at 10:35 Angela Sweby

Like a lot of people who have commented here, I am a lover of not only writing lists but of reading other people’s to see if there is anything i have missed off my own and here’s a guilty secret, I always add a few things onto a ‘to do’ list that I have already completed so I can cross them off immediately and get immediate satisfaction…haha!
I would dearly love to know what was in the large number of letters that were destroyed, what her daily routines were and more about how she overcame her sorrow at leaving Steventon. There are so many things I would love to know. Perhaps I should make a list :-)
on June 4, 2013 at 14:10 Alexiajoy

I have always wondered if she was a sweets-aholic! :) Did she like candies or pies or cakes?
on June 4, 2013 at 15:00 Stevie Carroll

I’d like to know more about her interest in English history, and what influenced her prejudices for and against certain historical figures.
on June 4, 2013 at 17:40 Serendipity Handmade & Vintage

I’d like to know more about her writing process: what time of day, how long she wrote, how long it took her to produce a novel, etc.
on June 4, 2013 at 19:04 Monique

I’m a late comer to all things Jane Austen so this book would be a nice treat. I wondering what her # 1 pet peeve could be.
on June 5, 2013 at 12:34 Amanda

I just started to really get into Jane Austin and would love to have a better understanding of what her life was like 200 years ago. This, I believe, would help me to better understand her books.
on June 5, 2013 at 13:40 Abbie

I want to learn about her garden. I’m trying to perfect mine in an English style or the closest I can come in an American suburb
on June 7, 2013 at 13:39 Jane

What was her pet peeve? How tall was she?
on June 7, 2013 at 15:15 Jamie Cox

I would like to know more about her day to day activities!
on June 8, 2013 at 14:24 TessQ

I met Joan Strasbaugh last month at a JASNA-sponsored Austen lecture (Susannah Fullerton, an engaging speaker) and, in talking, she allowed me to flip through her proof of this book for a moment. It whetted my appetite for certain! Not to mention, she was a delightful lady with whom to make acquaintance. I wanted to get into the city last week for her book-signing but was unable to break away from work early enough. So I am looking forward to purchasing it (or winning it if lucky enough) and digging in!

What would I like to know about Jane Austen? I’d like to know where she stashed those manuscripts and letters that have yet to be discovered! Or more in the world of the possible, though not much more – something about the enigmatic romance purported to have started in Sidmouth.
