I bet that blushing was mentioned more often in classic literature than in novels today, but i really haven't paid attention until now.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-90831117286500751922015-08-29T20:47:38.646-07:002015-08-29T20:47:38.646-07:00The book used tons of examples from Austen's n...The book used tons of examples from Austen's novels so I just cited those examples unless I could think of on on my own. /I know my blushes are different, too, but apparently Austen used blushes as a way to trick her character.

Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful review! I feel like I have a good sense of the essays. They sound so interesting and fun! I am a big Austen fan like you so I think I would enjoy it. Sandition is on my TBR pile right now, and a reread of Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Just can't get enough Austen! :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058904040523671233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-30802353523567394792015-08-28T20:36:47.512-07:002015-08-28T20:36:47.512-07:00This book sounds wonderful.

Incidentally, I'm reading Anna Karenina right now and it is also full of blushing, by men and women, to which Tolstoy clearly attaches great significance.Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-31889603649010623212015-08-28T19:52:26.315-07:002015-08-28T19:52:26.315-07:00You know I'm an Austen fan in spite of our BC&...You know I'm an Austen fan in spite of our BC's aversion to the novel we read by her. ;) I don't know how you manage to juggle so many facts; I admire you very much! My mother still thinks colds are caused by being outside in the rain/cold. I blush way differently when I'm angry than when I'm embarrassed. My face gets extremely red and kind of engorged when I'm mad; luckily, I'm not often THAT angry. Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.com
