“Miss Ferrier avowedly made thumb-nail sketches,—as is proved in one of the few surviving letters to or from her,—out of which grew the merciless caricatures that created her fame”

—an 1893 article in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 contrasting Sussan Ferrier & Jane Austen

“It is a truth universally acknowledged…”

Susan Ferrier’s 2nd novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 (1824) starts with a nod & wink to Jane Austen’s 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 (1813). In 1818, Blackwood’s paid £150 for 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦; it is a testament to Ferrier’s popularity that they paid £1000 for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

Susan Ferrier (1782–1854) was born #OTD, 7 Sept. Her 3 novels – 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, & 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 – are vivid & humorous accounts of Scottish society. Often compared to her contemporary Jane Austen, Ferrier’s satires are much more vicious…

It is 91F in my office because the little ac can't keep up. Voting for Sentai & Sensibility for Best Multiplayer TTRPG #CRITAWARD probably won't fix it but... what if?

Each summer for the past few years, I've gone back to some comfort reading/listening where I can kind of just shut off my brain and go with the narratives. I usually do Pride and Prejudice, and maybe add some Aubrey/Maturin and maybe some Sharpe. I'm thinking about doing a Jeeves and Wooster run, and/or Agatha Christie, too.

Which should I start with?

Looking forward to getting to these old faves!
