I love these lectures, and I learn more with every one. I really adore this obviously knowledgeable lady's awkwardness.

Thank you for a very fascinating and nuanced talk, looking forward to yet another rereading! Love the ironic take on aspects of modern reception.

Professor Todd is so thorough and insightful. I found Jonas Hanway's essay on tea and downloaded it. It is in the "A Journal of Eight Days" collection. In case you're looking for it. Todd also provides additional context for deeper understanding of the environment. I like Todd gives Austen her sass back. She might have been middle class gentry, but in many ways she is similar to Byron in their assessment of the times. At least the tools they use. Consider her "Lady Susan" and "The Beautiful Cassandra"---and she grew up around boys and men... There is so much cultural overlap between them. I adore them both. Thank you for this lecture.

I was taught Jane Austen in France where she is regarded central to European literature

If she's simply going to read her talk; couldn't she have videotaped it & posted it in?

Very shallow analysis at the entirely wrong angle. And you made people misread her even more. 👎👎👎👎

In what way did you think she used the wrong angle?

The novels of Jane Austen were in fact written by Jane's sophisticated and educated cousin, Eliza de Feuillide. Eliza could not publish under her own name because she was the illegitimate daughter of Warren Hastings, the Governor General of India. To publish under her own name would have caused a scandal. Eliza had a fascinating life, completely different from the dull life of Jane Austen. She was born in Calcutta in India and given £10,000 by Warren Hastings to pay for her literary and musical education in London. She married a French count who was executed in the French Revolution. She spoke perfect French and played the piano, harp and harpsichord. Her second husband was Jane Austen's brother, Henry. They lived together in London and frequently visited the opera and theatre. Eliza acted in amateur theatricals similar to those in Mansfield Park and she was an accomplished amateur comedian. To find out about the fascinating life of Eliza and how the events in her life inspired each of the novels you can read my book "Jane Austen - a New Revelation".

Mr Ennos is really Stephen Sakellarios. Using hypnotism and studies in reincarnation "He proves by algebra that Hamlet’s grandson is Shakespeare’s grandfather…"

But how to account for Austen, family, friends, publishers, etc. who discussed her novels, both drafts + published??

Such a person would have wrote completely different novels. Not to mention we have Jane Austen’s juvenilia, written as she grew up which you can see what will become her later writing.
