World History
My wife Kate is a big Jane Austen fan. It seems like most college educated women are these days. I found a nice history blog site that focuses on Ms. Austen at Jane Austen's World.

This blog brings Jane Austen, her novels, and the Regency Period alive through food, dress, social customs, and other 19th C. historical details.
