About Us
"It is a truth universally acknowledged..."
We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young, Latter-Day Saints, endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene.
Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.
Join us as we recount our triumphs and woes as we confront the abounding Lydias and Mr. Collinses and the few and far between Austen heroes.
