Super wacky utopian stuff (drug use will bring everyone happiness!) and Brave New World critiques!

In this booklet from about 1393, a Parisian husband ("le menagier") addresses his 15-year-old wife concerning her duties, but the tone and contents are generally humane. We find the early modern (and modern) concern about public appearance and self-commodification. He obviously likes giving the impression that his household is of higher than bourgeois status, but there's nothing very machiavellian about his advice nor about his manner of advising.

The husband trots out the standard biblical sexism -- mostly Genesis -- but at least does not seem misogynistic.

Household hints include keeping fleas out of your bed and room, selecting the best eel and cheese, creating invisible ink, turning white wine red. After several elaborate techniques for fly removal, all of which seem spurious, he adds, "Have paddles for killing them by hand" (67). When shopping for rabbit, "You can tell if he is tender by breaking one of his back legs" (117). There are at least two good reasons for keeping a nice warm pot of urine simmering on a back burner (99, 139).

"Austenland" by Shannon Hale:
Review from Amazon.com:
"To me, it's not a favorite novel unless you want to keep reading it over and over again. This is really my new favorite novel. The voice is clever and funny, the setting is awesome (it can't get better than an anacronistic Jane-Austen-camp for grown ups),and the romance is clean but sexy (what a rare combo in today's fiction). The ending made me cry with joy. Literally. LOVED IT.
I've been telling all my friends, 'You've GOT to read this book!'"
