We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw

A resolution

So I am going to make an honest effort to get back into blogging. I have the time and the desire so there is no reason not to. In keeping with the original feel of the blog, I think it will remain related to history and public history in some ways but I also want to write about interesting things, people, or places that I run across in daily life.

First things first: I was sent a very interesting link to a newish Jane Austen  site called Jane Austen's Fiction Manuscripts. A team of professionals from various UK universities got together and digitized a large portion of Austen's works. It's a really great site and easy to get lost in. I can just imagine Jane writing each and every word!
