The contemporary artist said she was also inspired by fashion depicted in The Lady’s Magazine, a popular women’s title which Austen read and took embroidery patterns from. <\/p>\n
The magazine ran from 1770 until 1832, and contained fiction, poetry, essays, news, and articles on fashion and music. <\/p>\n
Research by the University of York has underscored how influential The Lady’s Magazine was at the time, and how much it was valued by Austen. <\/p>\n
Professor Jennie Batchelor, from the department of English and Related Literature, said: “Austen has pulled many aspects of the magazine into her novels, which included character names and even the title of one her most popular works, Sense and Sensibility.<\/p>\n
“Lela and I discussed a fashion plate, featured in the magazine in1819, called ‘sea-side walking dress’. <\/p>\n
“Although the image was printed a couple of years after Austen’s death, in 1817, it was typical of the fashionable styles of the late 1810s.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The contemporary artist said she was also inspired by fashion depicted in The Lady’s Magazine, a popular women’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-311510","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114958357239900716","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
