I want to join the Shakespeare club. Do I need to do anything, or just read and watch for your zoom links? Thanks!

zoom links will be sent out the day before according to the schedule, so you'll get them as a paid subscriber without doing anything :)

Thanks. I ordered the recommended edition today.

Yep that’s it, as a paid subscriber you’ll get what you need on here

Wasn’t able to engage with the poll - it did not recognize me as a subscriber.

Shakespeare time suits me.

Saturdays or Sundays work for me for Austen.

Sundays work well (UK evening/EST afternoon). Looking forward to this and wishing you a lovely holiday season!

I love that you’re expanding to Jane Austen.

For both groups… it would be more convenient for me in the geographic middle of the US to meet at 8pm your time, particularly if the chosen day is or remains Sunday.

Sorry for the daft question but do these get recorded and were old ones recorded? Not sure how to navigate to them. Similar question about your recent seminar with Adam Philips, can you buy the recording?

Expand full comment

I might start recording next year, so far not

I would appreciate it....the discussions don't have to be perfect or somehow canonical. Accessible after the fact is sufficient. For some of us the time zone is tricky.

Saturday or late Sunday for us Calif hayseeds… no time works for all. I would love 6 sessions of Mansfield Park with its larch labyrinth.

Hi, Is there an Austen reading schedule, so I know which book to order first? Thank you. I think I saw it somewhere, but it must be the after-work droop. I just joined.

I haven’t confirmed dates yet (out your preferences in the comments or survey) but we will read the books in this order

Pride and Prejudice. Sense and Sensibility. Northanger Abbey. Mansfied Park. Emma. Persuasion.

Thanks for all your enthusiasm and prompts. I hope you, your family and extended readership have a perfectly splendid festive season.

Is there a recommendation on what type (collection/edition/etc.) of Austin books we should read?

Expand full comment

No any will do

imho especially if you aren’t familiar with the period, the annotated Anchor editions are fantastic — I used this edition when teaching S&S to high school students and they seemed to find it helpful

Saturdays would be very convenient for the Austin book club with people’s work schedules. For the fully employed common readers out there :-)

Not Sunday?

Sundays would work as well! Weekends in general. Thank you.
