Jane Austen

The novels of Jane Austen depict a world of civility reassuring stability and continuity ... more

which generations of readers have supposed was the
world she herself inhabited. Claire Tomalin's
biography paints a surprisingly different picture
of the Austen family and their Hampshire
neighbours  and of Jane's progress through a
difficult childhood  an unhappy love affair  her
experiences as a poor relation and her decision to
reject a marriage that would solve all her
problems - except that of continuing as a writer.
Both the woman and the novels are radically
reassessed in this biography.

Jane Austen

The prizewinning novelist Carol Shields whose novels have themselves been compared to the ... more

works of Jane Austen  gives us a beautifully
written  perceptive look at the life of one of the
finest and most popular English novelists of all
time. Jane Austen spent the first 25 years of her
life in Steventon and the last eight in nearby
Chawton  and did most of her writing in these two
places. She never married although many of her
novels are about marriage  and always lived with
her parents and sister Cassandra. Whilst not
unaware of the larger political and social
goings-on at the time  she chose a small canvas
for her novels  preferring to focus on the family
as a microcosm through which to explore human
nature. Carol Shields has written a wonderfully
observant and revealing biography of this
remarkable writer whose characters are as alive
today as they were two hundred years ago  when
Jane Austen first gave them breath. 'An excellent
biography' Mail on Sunday

Jane Austen's Works

Jane Austen's Works

In her short life Jane Austen wrote six novels; 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Pride And ... more

Prejudice', 'Northanger Abbey', 'Mansfield Park',
'Emma' and 'Persuasion'. These well loved English
classics may have once been regarded as the
province of the literature student, but due to
recent film and television productions they have
gained mass following on both sides of the
Atlantic.This DVD explores the development of Jane
Austen's style, her bright sparkling wit and her
unforgettable characters. See the places Jane
wrote about as they are today, from the
tranquility of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, to
the hustle and bustle of London with its shops,
theatres and Royal Palaces. Then step back into
the world of Regency Society, preserved for all
time in the work of Jane Austen.

Jane Austen's Society

Jane Austen's Society

Jane Austen lived in a dramatically exciting period of English history. Although her six ... more

novels are more concerned with the manners of
courtship, marriage and money than the social
change and political intrigue of the time, there
is a background steeped in Regency atmosphere.This
DVD explores the society which Jane Austen was
very happy to be part of, looking beyond her
novels to her sharp, witty correspondence with her
sister Cassandra, giving us Jane's personal
impression of life at the turn of the eighteenth
and nineteenth century.The growth of Bath and
Brighton are examined together with the
architecture of the time. An overview is taken of
the developments in the fields of medicine,
religion, politics, painting and literature.
Moreover the programme visits the places and
discovers the people who may not have appeared in
Jane Austen's novels but are fundamental to our
understanding of her work and the revered place
which her novels hold in the world of literature.

Jane Austen's Letters

Jane Austen's Letters

Jane Austen's letters afford a unique insight into the daily life of the novelist: ... more

intimate and gossipy  observant and informative 
they bring alive her family and friends  her
surroundings and contemporary events with a
freshness unparalleled in modern biographies.
Above all we recognize the unmistakable voice of
the author of Pride and Prejudice  witty and
amusing as she describes the social life of town
and country  thoughtful and constructive when
writing about the business of literary
composition. R. W. Chapman's ground-breaking
edition of the collected Letters first appeared in
1932  and a second edition followed twenty years
later. For this third edition Deidre Le Faye has
added new material that has come to light since
1952  and re- ordered the letters into their
correct chronological sequence. She has provided
discreet and full annotation to each letter 
including its provenance  and information on the
watermarks  postmarks  and other physical details
of the manuscripts  together with new biographical
 topographical  and general indexes.

All The Austen Without The Read

Advantages: Excellent entertainment
Disadvantages: Some of the productions are better than others

Jane Austen needs little or no introduction to both modern readers and viewers. She was one of the pioneers of the modern novel and her work continues to be read widely - not just for its historic value but for its entertainment too! Whilst some consider it to be "women's literature" this is simply because her heroines are young women. Frankly it is a gender-inspired argument as ridiculous as to say that Shakespeare is for men. Her novels ...
...potential suitor for Emma and Jane Fairfax (Ania Marson) is thought by some to be a peer, or rival, for Emma herself in her role as uncrowned Queen of Highbury. However, it's a a game of two halves and it ain't over until it's over!

Although Emma is a meddler and a teeny-weeny bit snobbish she is really well-meaning and her mortification as things go awry is thus tempered with other, happier, developments.
