    Extractions: This blog brings Jane Austen and the Regency Period alive through food, dress, social customs, and other 19th C. historical details. January 27, 2008 by Ms. Place On a superficial level this is an enjoyable film, but nothing substantive happens. Every element that makes this powerful Jane Austen novel thought provoking and crackle with tension has been squeezed out of this 90-minute adaptation. The viewer is merely left with – pulp. I watched this movie several times, hoping to get some sense of why director Iain McDonald and writer Maggie Wadey felt they needed to dumb down the plot. Mrs. Norris is now a merely irritating figure; the Bertram sisters are almost non-existent after Maria’s marriage to Mr. Rushworth; there is no return visit to Portsmouth, in fact there is no Portsmouth at all; the Crawford siblings don’t seem to live any where; and Fanny has morphed into a sweet but stubborn, though slovenly chit who likes to play badminton and ride horses with her first cousin. Oh, and she’s wildly in love with him. One wonders why the tug of war between a young heroine who stands up for her values and moral convictions against those who are in control of her life has been reduced to a few verbal skirmishes and some minor mental anguishes. I admit this is my least favorite Jane Austen novel, though that is by a small degree. Edmund Bertram comes across as a prig; and Fanny is much too staid and timid for my tastes. She is so morally upright that I would feel quite uncomfortable in her presence and not know precisely what to say. Whereas I suspect I could have a delightful and scintillating conversation with Lizzie Bennet, my favorite Austen heroine, or Mary Crawford, who always excited my interest more than Fanny. Not that Lizzie isn’t moral, but she does seem more approachable to me.

46. Jane Austen's Illness
    Sir Zachary Cope examines jane austen s final illness in an article of 18 July 1964 in the British Medical Journal.  
    http://www.orchard-gate.com/bmj.htm
    
    Extractions: An article by Sir Zachary Cope appeared in the British Medical Journal of 18 July 1964, the anniversary of Jane Austen's death. The following leader appeared on page 140 of the journal: When Jane Austen died on 18 July 1817 (exactly 147 years ago) she was only 41. Of the six novels she had written four had been published. Though they appeared anonymously the author was known to a small circle of admirers. But the acclaim in which she is held to-day had then hardly begun to gather. Such is the sustained and even quality of her novels that critics have remained doubtful about the order in which some of them were composed, so that her death at so comparatively early an age surely robbed us of more at least equally delightful works. What was the cause of this catastrophe? Sir Zachary Cope has been studying Jane Austen's letters for clues to it, and this week he presents his findings at page 182 of the B.M.J. The main features of Jane Austen's last illness seem to have been its insidious onset about a year before her death, intermittently progressive weakness and languor, gastric upsets, and discoloration of the skin. Sir Zachary's discussion of the differential diagnosis includes pernicious anaemia, myasthenia gravis, and cancer of the stomach, but many doctors will probably agree with him that the most likely condition is Addison's disease of the suprarenal glands. Further research may perhaps show that letters of her contemporaries provide evidence for or against the diagnosis, though Sir Zachary found nothing of help in the documents that survive from the immediate family circle or her doctors. As he remarks, her own observations are particularly trustworthy, for her perspicacity and cool judgment of what she observed were the essence of her genius. It is peculiarly tragic that so uncommon a disease should have struck down so rare a spirit.

Jane Austen's Bath Jane Austen knew Bath as a thriving spa resort, popular with fashionable society. Visit Bath today and enjoy a vibrant city with great shopping, dining and plenty to see and do. Jane Austen set two of her six published novels, Northanger Abbey completed in 1803 and Persuasion written in 1817, in Bath and made the city her home from 1801 to 1806. In Northanger Abbey Jane writes; 'They arrived in Bath. Catherine was all eager delight; - her eyes were here, there, everywhere, as they approached its fine and striking environs, and afterwards drove through those streets which conducted them to the hotel. She was come to be happy, and she felt happy already'. Visitors to Bath can still enjoy the striking environs with the magnificent and perfectly preserved Georgian buildings, 5000 of which are listed. There are many other parallels as a stay in Bath is uplifting not only because of the sheer physical beauty of the architecture and surrounding countryside, but it continues to be a centre for health and wellbeing. The opening of Thermae Bath Spa in 2006 means visitors can once again bathe in the thermal spring water.

    http://www.literaturepost.com/authors/Austen.html
    
    Extractions: HOME AUTHOR INDEX TITLE INDEX CATEGORY INDEX ... LINKS Jane Austen (1775-1817) English writer, who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime, she published her works anonymously. The most urgent preoccupation of her young, well-bred heroines is courtship, and finally marriage in the world dominated by men. Austen herself never married. Her best-known books include PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1813) and EMMA (1816). Virginia Woolf called her "the most perfect artist among women." "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." (from Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire. She was mostly tutored at home, and irregularly at school. Her parents were avid readers and she received a broader education than many women of her time. Her favorite poet was Cowper. On her father's retirement, the family sold off everything, including Jane's piano, and moved to Bath. Austen started to write for family amusement as a child. Her earliest-known writings date from about 1787. Very shy about her writing, she wrote on small pieces of paper that she slipped under the desk plotter if anyone came into the room. In her letters she observed the daily life of her family and fiends in an intimate and gossipy manner: "James danced with Alethea, and cut up the turkey last night with great perseverance. You say nothing of the silk stockings; I flatter myself, therefore, that Charles has not purchased any, as I cannot very well afford to pay for them; all my money is spent in buying white gloves and pink persian."

When you discover this, you can see the different goals Austen had for each novel, and geologize into the early history of the revisions, and the ways in which she uses omniscient, epistolary, and psychological narrative. Or the reader can use these calendars to understand the novel that is in front of them more clearly simply to enrichen reading of the novel, to see what is literally there and the fineness of Austen's art. The calendars are also intended to help people writing about and teaching Austen who want to reach her text in the most fundamental way.

59. Jane Austen And Laurence Sterne
    Did jane austen ever read Laurence Sterne s Tristram Shandy? There is some evidence in her letter of September 14, 1804.  
    http://www.mirror.org/ken.roberts/austen.sterne.html
    
    Extractions: Jane Austen and Laurence Sterne For some time I have wondered whether Jane Austen had read Laurence Sterne's "Tristram Shandy". Both authors display great wit and honesty in their depiction of characters. "Tristram Shandy" slightly addresses the duties of clergy, a subject which interested Jane Austen. She certainly read "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy". She might also have read Sterne's "Sermons of Mr. Yorick". "Tristram Shandy" was such a notorious book that I thought perhaps Jane Austen had avoided it. She was not one to honour the merely notorious. Tristram Shandy is not "merely notorious" of course, but did Jane Austen think so? I recently ran across a reference to "Tristram Shandy" in one of Jane Austen's letters. In her letter of September 14, 1804 to her sister Cassandra, Jane Austen is describing the household arrangements during the family's visit to Lyme. She says: [character in "Sir Charles Grandison"]
