Such a beautiful collection 🩷 I collect certain Austen editions and I definitely have my eye on the Puff in Bloom ones they are sooo pretty 🥺

Hello! I’m a new subscriber. 😊 I loved your video and I love how you give us enough time to see the books properly. Love that! ❤️

I truly loved seeing your collection! Some of the books I had seen before, some were brand new. But there was something special about their beauty one after another! Thanks for sharing 📚

Wow! Thats a great collection. Yes pride and prejudice is one of the all time classic. Thanks for sharing.😊

What a pretty young lady. Those are some exceptional eyes :) Best of luck with your endeavors.

what a great video - really informative and your love of Austen shines !

Impressive collection, Izzy! ❤ it. I finally got the Cranford collection and I've been reading our book club pick from it. Very readable like you said. I have a copy of Northanger Abbey in that same Folio Edition you have and it's pretty sturdy. I have read through it twice. I recently got the LitJoy Crate Paperback Classics Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion. They're gorgeous. My first copy was the Wordsworth classics edition, it's probably all torn up back home now😢. As usual, I'm obsessed with your nails😍. Great video💛. Happy Pride and Prejudice Day!

£110 in 1813 would be nearly £10,000 today.

Such beautiful editions! I have the Chiltern edition, which I love, and I have my eyes on the Puffin in Bloom set 🥰

Well, Happy Pride and Prejudice Birthday 🎂

Ooh I think I might have to get the Puffin in Bloom one!😍 You have such lovely collection. Have you ever read any of Meg Cabot’s regency romances? I used to love them when I was about 13. 😁

Really enjoyed your editions walk through. My Penguin Classics edition is also my reading copy - I have used plastic covers 198mm tall to protect it and even when the spines split in these they still look good on a shelf in their protective covers. Love your cutesy doggie. Thanks. 🥰

❤❤❤

Looking forward to more P&P analyzation videos!

Generally what time of year do tickets go on sale? I’m on the mailing list but scared I might miss it. Don’t know yet if I’ll go though… it might have to be another year

This was discussed on one of my fave podcasts “goes without saying” too (I can’t remember which episode sorry!) but I love seeing you articulate this so beautifully Izzy

Only read one so far and that's Northanger and love how the real life situations didn't live up to her expectations.

Thank u for making the term in a Positive light. Super Important tool to protect Females!!

I've read all 6 novels countless times, and I really enjoyed this video! I'd like to add one point - another good reason for reading "Mansfield Park" just before "Persuasion", is that in "Persuasion" she takes up a lot of the elements that appear in "Mansfield Park" and presents them in a more positive way. To give two examples: 1. Both Fanny and Anne are "invisible family members", unappreciated and only noticed when others want to use them. But Fanny is a typical abused child, and her development is sad and painful. Anne, whom we see at a later stage, is more self assured, and takes control when needed - both during other's issues and over her own life. 2. Both books present sister rivalry - Maria and Julia struggling for Crawford's attention, and Louisa and Henrietta both attracted to Captain Wentworth. (and in both cases, neither sister gets the man). But Maria and Julia act unpleasantly and are unattractive characters, while Louisa and Henrietta are attractive and manage to remain good sisters despite the rivalry. And there are many other points of comparison.

Amazing review! Thank you!

Makes me think of Beatrix Potters Jemoma Puddleduck story

It's very beautiful but I think the dogs upstaged it when you were at the market, they were all so adorable.

Thank you, Izzy 😊🎄☃️❤

Such a lovely vlog. Seems like you had a magical time!

I have the Persuasion version of Barbara Heller's letter book. You must fet tthat one. Ir has an interesting variety of things. Not just letters. Calling cards, musical program and a map in addition to other fun things. Wentworth's letter of course.

wow. very enlightening video. i can't believe i've never heard about this history before. thank you for sharing!

Great video! Only one thing I noticed watching this video on TV, could you stop looking at the view finder, and instead look at the camera lens? It's a small thing I notice people doing but changing that can have positive impact on the video quality ❤

This reminded me, idk if I heard this on a movie or somewhere, about soldiers in the middle east, fixing constantly a pipe that allowed people from a small village to have current water instead of going for it to the local well, they didn't knew why it kept breaking, until they discovered in the night, the women of the village were breaking it, when they asked them why, why would they want more labor, when they were the ones carrying the water to their homes, they responded: because going to the well it was the only time they were unsupervised by their husbands and they can speak to each other. Everywhere else they must remain silent, including their own homes.

Please continue making videos like this...we need them.

I just stumbled upon your channel & I'm so glad I did! Excellent video - not only enlightening us about the importance of informative gossip among women, but also shining a bit of a spotlight on the "pick me girls" who accuse women (& work against women as a whole) in order to boost their own position in the patriarchy, as well as the dangers of revealing too much of our personal information to men. Very relevant video for what we are currently experiencing here in the US. I've subscribed & will be suggesting your channel to others.

Have been thinking a bit lately about the way allegations rarely ruin mens’ careers, yet the backlash against anyone making them is extreme and severe - my conclusion being that men simply do not want women to be able to protect one another. *binary approach to gender used here because of the binary system that creates these dynamics, gender is not inherently binary

Holy shit that was a great video! I’ve not heard anyone speak about gossip this way, thank you!

So sick of hearing "not all men" used to shut down the conversation about how dangerous men are to women.

Gossip isn't just mere story telling its when you unecessarilly spread information (wether true or false) that puts someone in a bad light unnecessarily. In other words talking shit behind peoples back and ruining their reputation without just reason to do so (i.e your own or other people safety) its hurtful.

I'm really glad I stumbled upon this video! It was a very intriguing listen. Reclaim quality gossip, girlies

This is an incredibly important topic and you’re the first person I’ve seen discuss this on TH-cam. I’m glad this was suggested to me. This was a really good analysis and I think you could even go deeper on it.

Is Lucy worsley book worth reading if you have watched her Jane Austen documentary video? I’ve watched her documentary a thousand times and I own the book but everytime I think of picking it up I think it’s probably all the same info from the show let me know!

🤩

Caroline Bingley vs. Elizabeth Bennet is your classic pick-me vs. NLOG. A pick-me always desperately wants to be the NLOG

I found some books from the Cranford collection in my country (Romania) this month. They cost only 7 euros each so I’m very excited to own them. It is a pity that this collection doesn’t come with more classic illustrations for each book.

😊

very well put, women need to stick for each other. we are stronger together :)

Loved this! Would you be interested in doing a q&a at some point? 😊 I’m a nosy person hehe

Such an interesting video! Funnily enough, my daughter and I were having a conversation today about 'pick-me' behaviour. I'm going to ask my daughter to watch this, some great advice, thank you!! I agree so much about having hobbies, I've met my tribe throught my hobbies, in particular cross stitch. I'm actually just about to stitch a design based on that quote by Caroline Bingley when she says 'I shall be miserable if I havenot an excellent library' ❤

I went to the Jane Austen centre back in 2015 and it wasn't that busy because the Jane Austen festival wasn't on.

Love this, lots of information and well presented. Thank you.

Hi Izzy...I enjoy your video on Jane Austen...as i watch the Film The Serpent's Kiss I just learned about Hampton Court and I am learning something new.

This is really interesting! I’ve always been told and read that she hated Bath, but what you say makes so much sense.

Do you have a book stamp/ embosser ? Have you used it on your lovely editions ? I’m so torn between keeping them nice but at the same time I want to make them mine and emboss them !
