My first contact with the idea of literary fandom was reading Rudyard Kipling's "The Janeites" (1924), a story about WW1 soldiers who manage to maintain their sanity via a shared interest in the works of Jane Austen. But it's somehow taken a century (as far as I know) for the first Jane Austen RPG to be published... Good Society, a Jane Austen-inspired roleplaying game from Storybrewers Roleplaying.
The closest I've come to this is the Regency add-on for Fiasco, which I played at Continuum last year, but that wasn't a fully-fledged RPG.
I really like the idea of this, especially if it proves possible to adapt it to e.g. Master and Commander and other adventure material with this setting - the Scarlet Pimpernel-inspired Sense, Sensibility, and Swordsmanship might be a good starting point for that - and the price is pretty good. It's lavishly illustrated and looks like a lot of fun. Unless you hate Austen I think it's definitely worth taking a look.
