Austen heroes

I blogged today on the Word Wenches about a panel I was on the other day, part of the Melbourne Writers Festival.

We discussed Jane Austen and whether her books were romances or not. And we talked about heroes, and why some of her leading men were heroes, why some, we felt, were not and others could never be. The post is here, if you’re interested.

And since so many of you enjoyed my link to the “It’s Raining Men” video, here’s another little visual treat, a video of the scene where this took place—click on this link to watch it.

Enjoy.
