About this deal

Austen writes candidly about - whether consciously aware, and deliberately writing, or simply taking them as facts of life - arranged marriage and caste systems of England in particular, Europe in general; things that since have been, falsely, identified exclusively with India, in line with Macaulay policy to break spirit of India.

Lady Susan comes as a surprise therefore not because of the subject but the author who chose to write it, since Jane Austen usually is as clear as a sunny day in desert about virtues and vices, and condemning not only the latter but even faults of character that might seem only human today but do lead to follies or tragedies even today often enough unquestionably.Since this is a bind up, I'm not entirely sure how I want to do this, but I think I'll just break it down generally for each book. Jane Austen completed only six official works during her lifetime. While this may present something of a seemingly limited representation of her talents, today each work is well-known and recognized around the globe, highly regarded for their clear messages delivered by a memorable cast of characters. No doubt her actual life and personal interactions benefited her writing prowess for each work takes on a life of its own. mp_sf_list_5_description:What It's About: A young girl named Charlotte Heywood happens to be in the right place at the right time to help a couple in travel distress named Tom and Mary Parker. In their gratitude, the Parkers invite Charlotte to travel with them to Sanditon, a new seaside resort for health and wellness that Tom has given everything to build. In between was his aunt arriving haughtily to obtain a reassuarance from her to the effect that she would not marry him - which not only made her stubborn but made the three concerned (the two and the aunt) realise that she might be considering it seriously, although his offer had not been left on the table indefinitely.

Charlotte’s first glance told her that Sir Edward’s air was that of a lover. There could be no doubt of his devotion to Clara. How Clara received it was less obvious, but she was inclined to think not very favourably; for though sitting thus apart with him (which probably she might not have been able to prevent, her air was calm and grave." em>[Illustration: "'Emma' by Jane Austen - portrait of Emma and Mr. Knightley in the garden." Illustration by British artist A. Wallis Mills (1878 - 1940). 1910.] Jane Austen can be deemed one of the best classic authors of all time. Women have loved her for ages and rightly so. Her stories are filled with characters who are well rounded and believable. The only novels I didn't like were Emma and Mansfield Park. Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion I liked the most. The character of this father, the rich owner of the home that is the title, unfolds, and there are confusion, test of virtue and character, and separations and misunderstandings.Generally, I enjoyed this whole-long experience and I admit, Jane Austen is brilliantly a pioneer author.

em>[Illustration: "'Sense and Sensibility' by Jane Austen - Marianne coming hastily out of the parlour past Mrs. Dashwood and her two sisters." Illustration by Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) , 1896.] Anyway, as mentioned, it's sensible and good sense both to keep a copy around, rereading it every few years to keep oneself up-to-speed on Mr. Darcy, Ms. Woodhouse and the gang, sympathetic references to The Bell Jar just not cutting it with today's literate woman. "Your ingenuousness reminds me a lot of Catherine Morland" is a phrase of no less power than ABRACADABRA! or Asmodeus Belial Hastur Nyarlathotep Wotan Niggurath Dholes Azathoth Tind-alos Kadith [0]! or that old standby, AAAOOOOZORAZZAZZAIEOAZAEIIIOZAKHOEOOOYTHOAZAEAOOZAKHOZAKHEYTHXAALETHYKH [1]!

Austen Connections: Rumor has it, Elizabeth Bennet was Austen’s favorite among all of her heroines. “I think we imagine her as Austen’s favorite heroine because of a line from Jane’s letter to Cassandra,” Looser explained. “Jane writes of her creation, Elizabeth Bennet, ‘I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.’ Two centuries of readers agree!” I love these books for their relatablity. Their sense of hope, and their quoteability. I, personally, will be adopting the following for the coming year "It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at 29 than she was 10 years before."
