Art and Austen

Julius LeBlanc Stewart -- Reading Aloud

"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."   --Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey


Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!

    I love this quote! I discovered it when I read Northanger Abbey this summer. And what a gorgeous painting. Thanks for sharing (and happy birthday, Jane!)
