Hey, listeners!
It’s time to discuss Pride and Prejudice Part Two. In today’s episode, we cover the second half of the novel, including the drama, the heroics, the romance, and poor Mrs. Bennet’s nerves. We’re sad to be finished with one of our all-time favorite classics, but there’s more Austen-related content in store for our Patreon community. Access our bonus episodes, exclusive Discord chat, and a full-length class on Jane Austen’s influences, style, and legacy with your membership. We’d love to see you there!

Here are the links of the week, Austen-related and otherwise:
And an intriguing P&P adaptation on NetGalley.
PBS is hosting a tour of Austen’s home on Friday.
A must-read article from one of our favorite authors, Yaa Gyasi.
And a freaky trailer for a Charlotte Perkins Gilman-inspired horror movie.
Some of our links are Bookshop affiliate links. We earn a small commission when you make a purchase using these links (plus, you support independent bookstores).
Coming up:
TONIGHT, join us for an Instagram live at 7 pm EST to chat about Pride and Prejudice, current reads, and what we’re planning on Patreon this spring.
Next week, we’ll be back in your podcast feed with an episode on Pride and Prejudice retellings and pastiche. Then we say goodbye to Jane (for now) and enter the world of more modern classics in April with Giovanni’s Room and Slaughterhouse Five.
Behind the scenes, we’re already working on our summer season. Do you have a classic that feels like summer to recommend? Reply to this email or send your suggestions to novelpairingspod@gmail.com.
