📮 7 Pride and Prejudice Variations/Regency by Anne Harlowe (.ePUB)

Anne Harlowe was brought up in York, and was lucky enough to go to St Peter's School, a fine old school with famous old boys (such as Guy Fawkes). The city, with its rich history and magnificent cathedral, has been an important influence in her life, and has inspired some of her best work. She read English at Leeds University, and did a master's degree dissertation entitled Jane Austen's Heroines. Her first attempt at writing for publication was to produce a study guide for Pride and Prejudice, but after about 20 pages she got distracted by writing a short story entitled A Night at Pemberley. This was submitted to a Fan Fiction website and was well-received, encouraging her to attempt further flights of Jane Austen-related fantasy, the most popular of which are Darcy's Dark Secret and Poet of Pemberley. Not content to hang on to the bonnet-strings of her favourite author, she began writing original works of Regency and Victorian romance. The study guide is still unfinished.

Pemberley Gothick: A Collection of Gothick Tales Inspired by Jane Austen

Pemberley Gothick: A Collection of Gothick Tales Inspired by Jane Austen While in the middle of writing a book of study notes for Pride and Prejudice , the author took a break and amused herself by writing a short story in the style of Jane Austen entitled A Night at Pemberley. She submitted it to a Jane Austen Fan Fiction web site and it was well received, encouraging her to attempt other, ever wilder, flights of Jane Austen-based fantasy – Darcy as a vampire, Darcy falling in love with Ann Radcliffe's Emily instead of Elizabeth, ghosts at Pemberley (from Mrs De Burgh's comment about the "shades of Pemberley", and many more. Darcy fans should note that these stories celebrate the gothic, rather than the romantic, in Jane Austen's oeuvre. They are the kind of gothic burlesque which Jane Austen herself enjoyed writing in her early work, particularly Northanger Abbey. The author also expresses some scepticism about the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth – which is heresy to many Jane Austen fans – you have been warned! She has also written several other Jane Austen inspired works, including Wickham , Darcy's Daughters and Sex and Sensibility, and enjoyed it so much that the study notes are still unfinished. Prospective purchasers should note that some of these stories have been published separately or in other collections. Please check the list of contents.

2 Poet of Pemberley

2 Poet of Pemberley As a young man, Darcy falls in love with his sister, Georgiana’s, best friend, Amelia, and writes her a poem. The poem does not have the intended effect – but he continues to write. Many years later, he writes a poetry to Elizabeth, but because of that early experience, is reluctant to show them to her. Nevertheless, he takes the plunge and presents her with a sonnet, and finds that her appreciation is everything that he hoped for. As a result, he tries to improve his poetry by visiting the great poets of the day and seeking their advice. Unfortunately, one of them, Lord Byron, is “mad, bad, and dangerous to know”, and his influence leads to serious marital discord. 3

Pride and Poetry: A Regency Romp

Pride and Poetry: A Regency Romp This book was originally a novella entitled Poet of Pemberley and the main characters were Lacy and Elizabeth of Pride and Prejudice fame—but the author, tired of hanging onto Jane Austen's bonnet strings, decided to rewrite it to stand on its own merits (or lack thereof!). The new title is still somewhat Jane Austen-ish, but she has no doubt that Darcy wasn't the only proud young man in the Regency period. Her proud young man is called Lacy, and Lilian Helliwell replaces Elizabeth Bennet. Lacy and Lilian's relationship is nothing like the perfect relationship portrayed in Pride and Prejudice (if such a thing can exist), which was a stumbling block to some readers of the original version as they couldn't accept that Lacy would play the adulterer. Changing Darcy for Lacy solved that problem. The change is appropriate, because the book was never much of a P&P sequel, but more of a book about poets and poetry with lots of Regency raunch thrown in. Lord Lacy, an aspiring poet, writes a love poem to an eligible young lady called Amelia, but she laughs at him and rejects him. Later, he falls in love with a penniless curate's daughter, but his pride offends her and his poetry puts her off even more. She tames his pride (though she can do nothing about his poetry) and agrees to marry him, only to find that "his mistress is his muse", and their marriage is wrecked—can Lacy win her back, and will he have to give up poetry to do so? 4

Darcy's Love Triangle

Darcy's Love Triangle Darcy is beginning to fall in love with Elizabeth when he meets the perfect romantic heroine, Emily St. Aubert: she is fluent in several languages, she is widely read, she can sing like a nightingale, and on top of all this she is a creature of Angelic beauty – how can Elizabeth compete with all this? 5

Crookhill Abbey

Crookhill Abbey Darcy's daughter, Emily, falls in love with Thomas, a poor, struggling artist, but is persuaded by her parents to marry the aging Lord Dalrymple. After all, he has a title, Earl of Morpeth, and a mansion, Crookhill Abbey, that is even more extensive than Pemberley. At the same time, Darcy’s other daughter, Catherine, falls in love with George, an unsuccessful lawyer and would-be poet. When Emily gets to Northumberland, she finds that she has been duped, because Lord Dalrymple has no money, and Crookhill Abbey is little better than a crumbling mausoleum. Catherine, determined to avoid a similar fate, elopes with George, much to Darcy’s consternation. The characters are from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey, and Anne Radcliffe's Udolpho, and the style is influenced by Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and other 'gothick' novels of the period. This is the second edition. The first edition was entitled "Darcy's Daughters". 6

Darcy's Daughters: A Novella (3rd ed)

Darcy's Daughters: A Novella (3rd ed) A novella in verse, developed from the author's verse novella, "Emily and Catherine”. Mr and Mrs Darcy have two daughters, the beautiful and talented Emily, and the plain but sensible Catherine. Both are heiresses and are vulnerable to fortune-hunters, but in their eagerness to protect them, Mr and Mrs Darcy have forgotten the lessons that they learned in their own that pride comes before a fall, and that love conquers all. Things come to a head when Emily declares that she has fallen in love with a poor, struggling artist. 7

Wicked Wickham: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Wicked Wickham: A Pride and Prejudice Variation “Good,” said Wickham, studying his reflection in the large looking-glass over the fireplace. “I used to be rather fond of angling. It’s all in the bait, you see. Throw ‘em a bit of juicy bait, and you’ve hooked ‘em before you can say Jack Robinson – and with bait like this...” He caressed his elegantly-folded cravat and admired himself in the mirror. This book develops the character of Wickham in Jane’s Austen’s masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice. It covers Wickham’s life from his early days as a fortune-hunter in London, his seduction of Georgiana Darcy in Ramsgate, the Meryton scenes and his relationship with Elizabeth Bennet, and his elopement with Lydia Bennet, to well beyond the point where Austen leaves off. This includes Wickham’s married life with Lydia, his experiences at the battle of Waterloo, and beyond that into the 1830’s. Wickham was described by Jane Austen as “One of the most worthless young men in Great Britain”. He was a fortune-hunter, a womaniser and a gambler. He was also a man of “easy assurance” and pleasing manners. It is this side of Wickham that receives the most attention in Jane Austen’s novel. However, Anne Harlowe has drawn on other nineteenth century authors such as Lord Byron, Honoré de Balzac, Émile Zola Oscar, Wilde, as well as wide-ranging historical research, to flesh out the seedier side of Wickham’s character. The result is a racy and interesting narrative that is historically accurate, and remains true to the spirit of Jane Austen’s conception of Wickham.
