#WillandJane wave the helicopter crew goodbye when dropped on a pandemic-free island (deserted & no internet), where they'll remain indefinitely. Prompted by lockdown events, they intend to rewrite the human condition. From time to time, they may send updates via supply boat.
NB: Before we part tomorrow, we want to reassure our fans that no animals were ever harmed in the making of our pictorial lockdown tweets. Even Toothy, as per the rider in his contract, spent only an hour in the tank. #WillandJane#AnimalActors
Cute animal videos help. This one illustrates how, in spite of recent strides in the field of Animal Humanities, not enough scholars write about the animal magnetism of Jane Austen. #JaneAusten#AnimalVideo
Even in this celebrity household, life during a pandemic is not all beer and skittles. WILL: “I’ve written a new sonnet about the cruel passage of time.” JANE: “I’m sure there’s a crying need for that.” #lockdownsnark#JaneAusten#Shakespeare
The Bard reminds fans to wear their masks! In the case of this Buttery portrait, Will thinks his #museumchallenge version improves upon the original @FolgerLibrary by lending it pandemic flair -- with just a hint of mystery. #Shakespeare#wearamask#i6ftyou
Beware boardgames. Jane used all seven of her tiles and an already-played R to spell QUIXOTRY across two triple word score squares. William facepalmed. “You can’t lose a game if you don’t play the game.” #willandjane#JaneAusten#Shakespeare#lockdownscrabble
After all this time, when Jane pens letters to friends she still opens cautiously with an enquiry about whether their family is in good health. #JaneAusten
