Meanwhile, the working class who scarcely get a mention in her work confront the real emergencies of poverty, disenfranchisement, injustice and inequality. Dickens changed the world while Austen changed her frock.

It is true that working class people were hardly on Jane Austen's radar. Moreover, although a lot of Austen scholars and devotees focus on the stupidity and arrogance of some of her upper class characters like Sir Walter Elliot, they often ignore the fact that her portrayal of the middle class (to which most of the academics belong) is far from flattering because her middle class characters are also a mixed bag. Some we can admire like Mr and Mrs Gardiner, Captain Wentworth, and Mr Weston, but others are socially insecure and unpleasant like Mr and Mrs Elton and the haughty, spiteful, Bingley sisters who despite their high society lifestyle are from a middle class background. In addition, Mrs Bennet, although married to a member of the gentry, is a daft woman of middle-class origin who talks about her desire for her daughters to marry rich men when rich men are present and does not grasp the seriousness of her youngest daughter’s marriage to one of Austen’s most sinister characters, an unprincipled man who was almost certainly of lower birth than “uppercrust twits” like Sir Walter Elliot. Hence if we are supposed to conclude that Austen had a negative view of the upper class (a very popular view) her portrayal of the middle class is certainly not universally positive. Moreover, according to some Austen scholars we can learn a lot about baronets from her portrayal of Sir Walter Elliot. However, if one of the characters in an Austen novel had been an arrogant self-absorbed member of academia we can take it for granted that most academics who specialise in English literature would not conclude that the character was truly representative of them and their world.

@@cacambo589 Jane Austen wrote with penetrating skill and authenticity about what she knew and observed in her daily life. I doubt she was often exposed to true poverty as a middle class woman in fairly prosperous market towns in the countryside. Truly poor landless people were moving to cities in her day looking for jobs at the advent of the industrial revolution. Your negative opinions of her work show a bias and privilege that blinds you to the reality of what her life was likely like. You remind me of Greta Thunberg telling the girl in Bangladesh to fill her bathtub up with water before a cyclone strikes to better prepare. The girl replied that no-one in her village had a bathtub or running water, and those are things only rich people have. Your venom reveals ignorance and a lack of heart or insight. Probably a bridgerton fan.

Sir Walter Elliot is one of many fictional baronets who appear in English literature and Jane Austen tells us that his family had been baronets since the first year of Charles II, who became king in 1660. In commentary on Jane Austen’s novels baronets are sometimes dismissed as small fry because a baronetcy is the lowest hereditary title. Indeed, it has been said that baronets were kept at arm’s length by people with grander titles and socialized almost entirely with untitled country gentlemen. However, many baronets belonged to ancient landed families and owned very large estates. Moreover, baronets were often linked by marriage to people with higher titles, including some of the grandest families in the land. For example, in 1797 Sir John Menzies married Lady Charlotte Murray, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Atholl, and the first wife of the Duke of Roxburghe (another contemporary of Jane Austen) was the daughter of a baronet. Furthermore, Kitty, the Countess of Carnarvon who died in 1813 and lived at Highclere Castle (better known as the location of ‘Downton Abbey’), was the daughter of the eldest son of a baronet and Emily, Countess Cowper, a famous high society figure in Regency England, was the granddaughter of two baronets. Finally, it was fairly commonplace for untitled country gentlemen to marry the daughters of aristocrats. For instance, in 1817 Mark Milbank married 20-year-old Lady Augusta Henrietta Vane, the daughter of the Earl of Darlington. Jane Austen was of course aware of such marriages and one of her most famous characters, Mr Darcy, is part gentry and part aristocracy, for his mother was the daughter of an earl.
@davidwright7193
2 жыл бұрын
In the first year of Charles II baronetcies could be obtained by anyone with access to £1000 in ready cash. It is also notable that the people who had access to such sums that could be put to such a purpose in the first year of Charles II generally regarded the Vicar of Bray as far too fixed in his political and religious opinions.
@glendodds3824
2 жыл бұрын
In 1660, £1,000 was of course a great sum of money. Indeed, it was still a lot of money in Jane Austen's day. In Sense and Sensibility, for example, the Ferrars family own an estate in Norfolk worth £1,000 per annum.

Well the thing is, a baronetcy is a purchased distinction, and that does make all the difference. It is heritable, but does not make one a member of the peerage. Of course, barons are still wealthy, landed aristocrats so they are still good society, but Sir Walter being so vain as to that title marks him to the reader as ridiculous. Mister Darcy, for example, is not actually a titled nobleman, although his mother (and Lady Catherine) was the daughter of an earl. He could later be egnobled if he so choose- but alas, him and his late father do not seem to have chosen! And yet who has more dignity and distinction between him and Sir Walter?

Reading this as the last first book I will read for English in high school (My teacher said the appeal of this book was that it was 100 pages shorter than pride and prejudice

Anne Elliot is a joy. Glad I am 60; if they saw me reading persuasion in 8th grade now they would try to tell me i'm really a girl and get me on hormones.

How can Jane Austen, in almost every novel, have a character that I love to hate? They are written so differently, but have such annoying traits, that I literally cringe when they speak! Emma's father with his gruel, Mr. Collins (and Mrs. Bennet and Lydia), the aunt in Mansfield Park, Mary, in this book, drive me mad! Is it good writing or does Austen caricature them, to make them so irritating? It is not that they are evil, but clueless and selfish, that grates so much. I guess I have run into one or two people in real life that are similar... but maybe not in such concentrated doses as you get in reading a book straight through?

"Without conflict, it's just two people talking!" I hope I got that quote right! It's from, "The Emerald City" a very funny Australian movie.

Surely this book has villains to spare! William Eliot; Mrs Clay and - from Anne’s point of view - father and eldest daughter.

@@musicfan238able Yes there are other villains... and the ones that I can't stand are probably not the villains, but they just make me nuts! If I was Emma I would have run away with the groom instead of putting up with her father!

Carol Taylor My dear Carol how could you forget Mrs Elton from Emma in that list! You're absolutely right though, Jane Austen has such a deep insight into human character.

Mary's children are to be pitied. She doesn't care about them enough to bother teaching them proper behavior. Too bad, all horrible mothers aren't fictional characters as well.

Anne was bullied all her life by her obnoxious father and sister Elizabeth and dear little Mary was a parasite. Add the wonderful Lady Russell to the mix, and Anne didn't have a chance. Very gentle people are intimidated by the overbearing. Wentworth would stop the nonsense!!

Lady Russell claiming she was looking for the "best hung" window curtains mentioned by her friends, when actually looking at the handsome Captain Wentworth. 😂

Not so. Anne saw Wentworth and was concerned so did Lady Russell, but Lady Russell was looking for the window curtains her friend had told her to watch for. Your juvenile joke is not worthy of an Austen fan, if you are.

@@diannew6066 That is how this line is to be read as Lady Russell would have commented on Captain Wentworth. However Austin is certainly not above a dirty joke about all the Vices and Rears of the Navy.

The 2007 Persuasion is quite lovely, more true to the original text, amazing casting and remarkably constructed. But the book is certainly best.

There is a custom slider in playback speed that lets you have a lot more control. I usually set her at .95 or .90. Before I found that I tried .75, but it was so draggy.

I think the script-writers of the Netflix "Adaptation" just read the list of character names and their one line descriptions, and never went any further to actually read the *book* .
