Here are some fun photos of Pauline Beard, Professor Emeritus. She traveled to England and Europe this summer 2019. Of course, she visited the Jane Austen Centre in Bath. Here she is there in period costume with her brother's family.
In the first photo, Pauline is wearing a white day hat and pink cotton dress with a short jacket over the top. Her great niece is seated, also wearing a cotton dress with a mop cap and cleverly hiding her cell phone behind her fan. Pauline's nephew is wearing a military uniform and hiding his shorts behind the chair. His wife is wearing a more silky dress with a velvet jacket and a silky day hat.
In the second photo, a Mr. Darcy look-alike poses with Pauline and her sister-in-law. A fun time was had by all!
Later, Pauline journeyed to Portugal. Here she is outside the book shop where J.K.Rowling wrote Harry Potter and got the idea for her spectacular fictional book shop. What is interesting is that Rowling taught English in Porto in the 90s, and is said to have written some of the series in the shop.
There are huge lines of 4,000-5,000 people a day! They're there to buy tickets and then to get to the door with their ticket! The shop got so crowded that the owners had to start charging entry as fans flocked in to take photos without buying a book.
