Austen was a teenager when she wrote Pride and Prejudice? Sheesh! Clearly she was a literary genius.

Good point about her characters being more like real people than other novels at that time. Her characters do feel real, the personality types still exist today. She was an excellent character writer. I would have to say Pride and Prejudice and Emma are my two favorite novels. But I still love the others, too.

P&P is my favorite novel. Emma is a close second. What I love most about Austen’s writing is how layered they are. They’re often very tongue-in-cheek and what (nowadays) we would call “meta”. Her breaking of the 4th wall was very much before her time. Often though, her novels are both about what you read on the surface level AND the exact opposite of a surface level reading. Austen manipulates the reader so brilliantly that many don’t even see the hidden layers.

You can't tell if its conservative or progressive? Sexist or feminist. She's one of the only authors that can trully and honestly write both sides of a problem. Its why I think she'll always be beloved, even if its hard to convince people to read her. She doesn't judge her own time but shows it as it is with confidence and finds universal truths.

Every couple of years, my favourite changes when I do a reread of the finished works. I tend to see new things, identify new amazing things in the texts. Since my last read-through, my personal favourite has been Northanger Abbey but my favourite to teach to English students is Persuasion. Your blouse and brooch are beautiful. I read that gentlemen were among her most ardent readers. So that first line about being in want of a wife would have probably caused many a hearty belly laugh among gentlemen-readers, and a chuckle and nod among the ladies!

Great intro on Austen's life and works. Thanks! I find it a bit ironic that of the three famous women writers of the era who served as an inspiration for Austen - Fanny Burney, Ann Radcliffe and Maria Edgeworth - all of them outlived her. Yet Austen managed to outlive them on another score - an enduring popularity that shows no sign of waning even after two centuries. (But I do find it a bit strange that Austen was a little known writer for much of the 19th century, before her popularity started picking in the early 20th) I'd love to see you do a video on the major works of those writers and how it inspired Austen. Especially the first three works of Fanny Burney - _Evelina,_ _Cecilia_ and _Camilla,_ Maria Edgeworth's _Belinda_ and the Gothic writings of Ann Radcliffe. Perhaps you could throw in Samuel Richardson's _Pamela_ too. As for Jane Austen and Jane Eyre, I find it amusing that we have a 'Jane Fairfax' (governess-to-be) in _Emma_ and a _'Jane'_ Eyre (also a governess) and Edward _'Fairfax'_ Rochester in Charlotte Bronte's work. Of course Charlotte Bronte was no fan of Austen, so this must have been a minor coincidence in name I assume.

The biography, or rather the most profound non-biography of Jane Austen already demonstrates all inequality between men and women at that time. 1. Jane Austen didn't want to expose herself, mainly because she wasn't a well-regarded family woman writing books and earning money. 2. Even though her brothers allowed her to write, and even helped her sell the books, it is clear that she could not dedicate herself exclusively to writing. As a woman, she had social obligations, in addition to being very financially dependent on other people. 3. The family choosing to burn the letters and diaries is just further proof of her status as a woman. They didn't want too much personal information to go public and affect her reputation. The losers are all of us. And we could point out several other things that concern her and her status as a woman at that time. The irony, perhaps, is precisely that being single may have been better for her than being married. Hardly a man would accept a writer, even more so with the acidity of her texts. Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

It's interesting to note that Nietzsche famously pointed out, "I am one thing. My work is another." An artist is not the work. We will always be let down when we admire a person instead of their work. I'm glad we don't have Austen's diary for the reasons mentioned. Her private life is not for us. It may, in fact, discolor how we view her work.

Look at all the high school and even college graduates today and compare them to older generations in terms of how to write well or use critical thinking or carry intelligent conversations or present ideas coherently in written and oral form or do basic math etc. Formal schooling has become diploma mills instead of real education.

That's sadly common in historical fiction nowadays. Some of it is great, but often the author/director seems to forget that it's not enough to get the fashions and dates right but also how people THOUGHT. Sure, there was sex and scandal in Jane Austen's day, lots of it, but people's attitude towards it was very different. You have to be open-minded and able to put yourself in another person's shoes to do historical fiction well. I recall that I had a bit of a struggle with my director when I played Princess Ida, which in case you haven't heard of it, is a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, a satire on early feminism. My director wanted me to be quite aggressive, and I was like 'Ida may be a feminist, but she's still a lady. She's going to be dignified and understated: this is Victorian feminism, not modern feminism.' (I got my way in the end, and the audience still seemed to like it 😆.)
