Re: Longbourne

If Longbourne was written in any form of opposition (ie, reality v fiction) then a great deal of historical research is already readily available both on the internet and in reference libraries. . That said, if fiction (not having read the book) goes too far in the opposite direction in the cause of "warts and all" type writing, it is not really desirable and proves little and any attempt to alter the Bennets' way of life is taking away from Jane Austen. If this is the case then "Longbourne" will probably have as short an impact as "Death comes to Pemeberley". Not describing the contents of chamber pots is not quite what I meant by avoiding reality.
