I would love to come visit again someday but until then I'm grateful for this video. Thank you!

So, Knight is why Jane called her hero in Emma Mr Knightly to honour your Knight family. Is this correct, ma'am, please? Kind regards from Elizabeth in Yorkshire😊

This was such a beautiful thing to do... What a wonderful story too. You are so down to earth and just a real pleasure to listen to. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. ❤

What a pleasure it was to discover you and this presentation. I look forward to getting your book albeit all these years later. Many thanks

Charlotte Bronte's books are just depressing while Austen's are an uplifting delight! I'd love to see two actors on a stage protraying the authors in a literary cagefight.

I so appreciate getting the chance to be apart of this. ❤

Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation. I find Elizabeth Blackwell's story to be fascinating.

im gonna start this book soon!!!!!!!!!! i like to know what im getting into, tysm for the vid

This is an invaluable resource. I love it!!!!

Loved this!

She even resembles the drawing made of Jane Austen :)

I bought "Jane & Me" when the book first came out and enjoyed it very much. So nice to see the author in this chat. Seeing her and listening to her talk reinforces what I felt after reading the book. Caroline's writing ability, strength, individuality and spunk (especially evident in the book) remind me so much of her famous ancestor. It's lovely to see family traits handed down through generations.

Thanks you for surfacing a childhood memory of dried flowers. I love roses and am also establishing a garden with the indigenous 'fynbos' and 'renosterveld' plants of the Western Cape, South Africa. I see so many possibilities for artistic endeavours with dried flowers. Would love to learn more.

How lovely why do u have ribbon hanging?

Thank you for sharing; this was lovely to peruse.

So honored and pleased to be a part of this!

Beautiful....🌟

This is a lovely preface to the book you wrote and I am very much looking forward to reading it. I wrote an article on how religion is displaced in Jane Austen’s ‘Sense and Sensibility’ (Meta) and am currently conducting research on the importance of literature in language learning with reference to her work. As a learner of English, I read all of Jane Austen novels avidly, and can claim to have developed my voice in English through hers. I would be very happy to contribute to your literacy programme in any way you see fit. Dr Alain J.E. Wolf (PhD Cantab, FHEA)

I adore this!!

So exciting!!

Great!

Amazing! 💜

This nose bleeding is used in the 2020 EMMA film. Were they near yarrow?

I'm listening to "Jane Austen & Me" in audio book format and can't understand the narrator when she refers to the nickname given the grandfather. Could someone please tell me what did the author call her grandfather Knight?

Gosto e muito dessa autora. Li o livro os filhos dos outros e adorei.

1st known feminist writer was France based Italian writer, Christine De Pisane 1300s to 1400s, Renaissance Italian and English, at least, women received university educations in U. of Salerno, Italy, later in future US colonies--- College of William and Mary, 1 king of 1700s Spain opened universities to women students AND---professors !!!

Mary Wollstonecraft was great, but there were earlier English, Italian, French, etc. earlier women activists like in Baroque period, Aphra, Behn of England, other Italians in Renaissance, possibly earliest Christine De Pisane, 1365 to 1429, lived in France, born in Italy.

Thank you. Very interesting. 2 versions A) Women who impersonated men to do traditionally male activities B) Women who, as women, to do traditional make activities 1) Some queens and empresses, BCE to modern times, ruled, fought offensive and defensive wars, coups, etc.----all over the world Queens. Boudicea, Elizabeth I , Victoria, Empress Katrina the Great of Russia, etc. 2) More regular women fought in wars. rebellions strikes, etc Examples---las Soldaderas of Mexican Revolution 1910 to 20, partisan guerillas in W and E Europe, E and SE Asia, 1939 to 45. Mujeres, Libres etc women s militias in Republican Spain 1936 Vietnamese etc women in US gov, war ?vs. Indichina 3 countries, women in C America--- Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, 1970s 80s, Colombiab1960s to 2000s,France 1830s to ??? Flora Tristan, Louise Michel, mid to late 1800s both major French left and women s activists, etc. a few women who, as women, took on "men s" roles. Even ancient Persia at times allowed women in the army, from private to general, ancient Eurasian Iranian,(= Scythians of Amazon fame). Most women in any war---USSR in WW. II army--infantry, snipers, like Rosa Shanaina, ?? Pavlechenko, artillery, both ground and anti aurcraft, armor, air force--- fighter pilots like Ludmila Litwak, etc. obscure women. (Women s Sniper School graduated 2000, 500 survived the Nazis war.Overall, they killed about 27 million Soviets highest losses in 1 country in 1 war in homo sapiens history. No wonder they are alert to slightest hint of Nazism or fascism on their borders. Who in their place, who would not be?)

I love Regency dress. It's so elegant and rather timeless. If I could do a history bounding style, Regency would be it.

This was a very enjoyable video. I learned so much. Thank you!

How interesting how in the book editions we have different interpretations of Emma just like we do in film. Thank you for this. Emma is my favorite novel ever. I didn't like the newest version that much. It felt much like a fluffy cupcake - very much empty calories. Emma's moral development was very thinly developed and I really never liked anything about her and was never convinced why Mr. Knightley was in love with her. I know we hang on Jane's quote about her being a heroine no one else will much like, but I do believe Jane wanted us to like her in the end and I just didn't in this film. I love her in the book and in other adaptations, the Romola Garai one being my favorite. I think it's a hard story to do well in a feature length film. You need the miniseries to develop it best.

Amazing how you can see the family resemblance in her face. What a wonderful woman!

Thank you for the talk - and, more importantly, for the novels! I've found comfort, challenge, wisdom and great enjoyment in them. Each re-read multiple times. 🙂

Brilliant presentations, Bravo!

Hmm. Interesting. Jane Austen Novelist 17th direct great granddaughter of Edward III 33rd direct great granddaughter of Charlemagne 61st direct great granddaughter of Arrius Calpurnius Piso 65th direct great granddaughter of Herod the Great 75th direct great granddaughter of Nebuchadnezzar 104th direct great granddaughter of Ramesis II 109th direct great granddaughter of Amenhotep III etc'.

Thank you so much for this. I have finally found out who the illustrator is in my Wordsworth Classics Pride and Prejudice! Strangely both this book and a publication of P and P by Heron books, make no mention anywhere who the illustrator is!!!!

I've nearly finished your book and I'm loving every minute of it. I have been re-reading Jane Austen's books for the past few years and will surely come back to them time and time again.

hi hi hi

Wonderfully positive woman! Seems to have something of Edward Knight's chin. Think I first visited the cottage in the mid-80s but don't think I found my way to Chawton House; not sure I realised it was open - or that it had a tea-room!

This is my first time hearing your lovely story. How wonderful. I just purchased your book on audible 😊

Delightful. There is a family resemblance and we can imagine Jane's eyes sparkling with such good natured mischief.. 🥰 must find your book.. thank you for sharing lovely childhood adventures. 💚

Thank you for your wonderful talk;

A real treat to hear Caroline relate her experiences of Chawton House. A good time to listen again to Jane & Me to escape lockdown.🙏🏻📚

Wish you could have this talk at the house itself

Wow, how amazing to have such a close ancestor as Jane Austen!

How large is this snowflake? I do needle tatting and size 10 thread, size 5 needle.

very nice professor
