Austen and Money
For those of you interested in more information on Jane Austen and money (we only scratched the surface today!), I wanted to give you a couple of resources. Here is a useful article by an economist that goes into much further detail about the economy of Regency Britain. And below I’ve posted a short video by Austen scholar John Mullen that helps open up some nuance about how her characters understand class markers.
Happy to follow up on any questions you’re left with after reviewing these! If I don’t know the answers, I’ll help you find them.
