I have to rave on about the trilogy I just finished reading, the "Novels of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman" by Pamela Aidan. The three books re-tell the events of "Pride and Prejudice" from Darcy's point of view. And it works, it really works. I especially loved the third book, where the events come to a head.

1) An Assembly Such As This
2) Duty and Desire
3) These Three Remain

Have you read "Northanger Abbey"? It muxt be the first novel ever to have a fangirl as its heroine (her fandom being the gothic romances of the period).

As a teenager I have to renew my acquaintance with it (I have all the novels) as I recorded several British films over the holidays and that was one.

Don Quixote was also a huge fanboy, and that precedes it. :-)

True. But I can pedantically point out that I said "first fangirl". :)
