The end of the novel?
Though you do not have an official Tumblr response due this week, you might consider doing one or both of the following in order to put a capstone on your wonderful respnses to our course site.
1) respond to a peer’s paper abstract; what did you like? how can you help your peer with a question or concern brought up in our discussion on Thursday?
2) Share something funny/interesting/delightful from the internet that intersects with our class discussions.
I’ll start:

The Chawton House is one place that Jane Austen once called home. It is now part pilgrimage site for Austenites (and for c18 specialists) as well as a world-renowned center for c18 studies.
They are currently attempting to purchase the letter from Cassandra Austen to Fanny Austen, wherein Cassandra describes the last moments of Jane Austen’s life. I shared a small quote from this letter during class recently.
