I had a go at the quiz in Saturday’s Guardian Review. I was absolutely rubbish, it’s obviously long past the time when I should’ve been re-reading Jane Austen. If you want to try out your Austen knowledge, have a look here.
If you want to have a look at John Mullan’s accompanying article you can read it here.
Book-wise it has been a slowish week because I’m still reading Wolf Hall, I have about 150 pages to go.
I got 6 of 10, which makes me a Harriet Smith! But I couldn’t get it to display the answers, so I could see what I missed – I know one of them had to be about Emma’s income.
Lisa,
Six out of ten is very good, I think. Some of the character’s names were complete mysteries to me! It’s printed in the actual newspaper that the answers will be published online and in the Review next week. I’ll do a link then.
But Harriet is definitely not the sharpest crayon in the box! I’ve passed the link for the quiz along to the Jane Austen listserv I belong to.
Lisa,
For some reason the answers are in Saturday’s newspaper but aren’t online. I’ll scan it tomorrow so you can pass the answers on too.
