I am truly delighted that my blog-essay called A Calendar for Sense
and Sensibility is now up on, and part of Sarah Emsley's Summer party
for Jane Austen's S&S. It's based on my timelines from and for
Austen's six seemingly finished novels, and three of her four
unfinished novels. I published one paper (on the calendar I found in
S&S) and put all the others on my website under the rubric: Time in
Jane Austen: A Study of her Uses of the Almanac. While studying the
novels this way I discovered (among other things) that in all but
Northanger Abbey and Sanditon memorable and linchpin events where
there is a hurtful humiliation of a heroine or great social loss, or
deprivation/dispossession Austen has configured her timeline to make
the day or evening a Tuesday. Since it's an attempt to show some
fundamental about S&S, the other Austen's novels, and the nature of
her art I am especially pleased to provide closure for this wonderful
seasonal celebration
