My favourite part of Jane Austen July was reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time. Last year I actually stopped reading the book after 100 pages. I was bored of it at that time. This year I fell in love with Pride and Prejudice!! I throughly enjoyed watching your videos and watching the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice. Thank you for putting out your Jane Austen July videos. 🌸
It was my first Jane Austen July and I loved it so much. I think I genuinely felt I was sparing time for a favorite hobby in the middle of everything else. I've gotten to know more of Austen, I started reading her juvenilia (which until recently I imagined as distant and maybe not interesting writing) and I found out Lucy Worsley' biography which I'm in love with (still carrying it to August). Thank you for hosting this event with the other girls ❤
This was great! I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on how it's not so much that Catherine is naive, it's more that she doesn't trust her intuition. This is sooo common with women even today!
LOVED Jane Austen July! It was the first one I could really participate in and I really just didn't read anything that wasn't her work or related in somehow to the Regency era. Northanger Abbey was HILARIOUS. Even the movies I watched were related--Austenland, P&P (again!) and Netflix Persuasion (finally!) And get the marshmallows out for my upcoming roasting. Ha! The creek and duckies remind me very much of where I grew up. Sweet walk!
Always appreciate your thoughts and especially describing the gothic (or anti-gothic?!) elements in NA. Two comments: 1) Re: Isabella--I think Catherine becomes Isabella's friend because Isabella is determined to be intimate with James's sister, and therefore improve her chances. Pure calculation. 2) Re: Henry--I find Henry delightful, too, and one of the main reasons is his relationship with Eleanor. They clearly are close and to me that rounds off some of his sharper edges.
Hi! I read Northanger Abbey, The Juvenilia of Jane Austen, Tea With Jane Austen, Pride And Premeditation, Sandition, and I am still reading Marriage by Susan Ferrier. Im not sure if I will finish that in August, or stop and try to read that next year.
I read The Romance of the Forest by Ann Radcliffe and did not like it at all. I mainly didn't like her style of writing. She wrote telling the reader what happened instead of showing us. Not a fan. I read Northanger Abbey for the 2nd time and still love it. It is my favorite Jane Austen novel. I also read What Kitty Did Next and thought it was okay. There was too much retelling of Pride and Prejudice in the story, and I felt it moved too slow. I also watched one of the movie adaptations of Northanger Abbey and Austenland (which I watch every year in July). That's all I had time for.
