Lucy Worsley's Jane Austen Behind Closed Doors

Something you may not know about me, but could probably guess, is that, while I spend a month or two every year working directly on Austen in August, I spend the other 10 or 11 months of the year bookmarking all the things. Every time I come across something Austen, it gets bookmarked; I have countless Austen-related 'saved' links on facebook, and endless random youtube videos marked as 'watch later'— my bookmarks tab is a mess.

Some of these things end up making the cut come the next AIA, and some get promptly forgotten. . . and occasionally, I come across one of those forgotten bits of Austenhood and get really excited, because it's not only something I wanted to share during AIA, but also something I just wanted to look into, personally.

Jane Austen Behind Closed Doors is one of those things. I had completely forgotten about finding this documentary in its entirety on youtube. It's how I'm spending my night (it's currently open in another tab, in fact), though I should be writing more Austen in August posts, and I figured some of you may want to spend your morning, or day, or night with it, too.

Enjoy!
