"It is a truth universally acknowledged..."

...that a reader in possession of a love for the novels of Jane Austen is in want of all things Austen!

Take strangegirl's quiz, Which Austen Heroine Are You?, to find out if you're Elizabeth, Emma, Fanny, or another beloved character.

Turns out I'm Marianne Dashwood... as much as I've always wanted to be feisty, independent Miss Elizabeth Bennet, my sentimental, romantic soul is entirely Marianne.

"You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately."

Music that helps one feel like a lively Jane Austen heroine: "Prelude No. 3 in C sharp major" from The Well-Tempered Clavier" by J.S. Bach. ...Doesn't this just sound like Lizzy Bennet spiritedly tramping across the fields to go visit Jane at Netherfield?

Music that helps one feel like a contemplative Jane Austen heroine: "Prelude No. 1 in C major from The Well-Tempered Clavier" by J.S. Bach. ...And this would be Marianne realizing that dear, sweet Colonel Brandon is a man she can love, even if it's a different kind of love than she felt for Wickham (the cad!).
