Jane Austen
Published by eGal | Filed under Leisure, Love, People
Jane Austen…a great writer of her times, whom I didn’t knew of until recent years. I have been meaning to watch the movie “The Jane Austen Book Club”, released in 2007, I finally had the time. In the short 105 mins, I learnt that Jane Austen has written 6 novels in her life…
click on the novel titles for more details
- Sense and Sensibility (1811)
- Pride and Prejudice (1813)
- Mansfield Park (1814)
- Emma (1815)
- Northanger Abbey (1817) (posthumous)
- Persuasion (1817) (posthumous)
Of the above 6, I would have only read the 1st 2. After having watched the movies, I have decided that Jane Austen shall be a companion in my bag till I have finished the next 4. She wrote about love. I would say its rather controversial for a writer of her times. Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice were great novels. The movie really intrigues you to go and read the novels if you haven’t already done so and it’s not just a girly thing.

jane austen is a very clever writer. She didn’t just write about love — many people during that time were doing it (Anne Radcliffe, Fanny Burney, Maria Edgeworth, etc) but she wrote about it always keeping an eye on how it was constructed, and keeping in mind the gendered literary ethos of her time (or rather, critical of the literary ethos).
fyi, the great w.h. auden wrote about jane austen:
There is one other author in my pack:
For some time I debated which to write to.
Which would be least likely to send my letter back?
But I decided I’d give a fright to
Jane Austen if I wrote when I had no right to,
and share in her contempt the dreadful fates
Of Crawford, Musgrave, and Mr. Yates.
You could not shock her more than she shocks me;
Besides her Joyce seems innocent as grass.
It makes me uncomfortable to see
An English spinster of the middle class
Describe the amorous effects of `brass’,
Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety
The economic basis of society.
