I have a giant TBR pile but this one skips the queue! Dr. Inger Brodey of Jane Austen Summer Program explores Jane Austen’s artistry through the complexities - and ambiguities - of her “happy” endings. Unputdownable. ⭐️ And stay tuned for an upcoming Austen Connection ep w/ Inger! ✨✨

We're deconstructing a Jane Austen hero who's all at once proud and generous, scathing and kind, everywhere and elusive, and intimidating and humble. He also embodies the philosophies of 18th century Scottish writer Adam Smith. A lot going on with Knightley! | Link in bio ❣️

Wow - conduct books, rational dissenter communities, revisionist lit and theater adaptations, mother guilt, and parsons’ daughters of the Regency: Each of these projects is fascinating. Congrats to all and please keep the Austen threads updated on your findings! 🌷🌻🌷🌻

Happy Dad's Day, everyone - but don't expect any love from Jane Austen, whose depictions of Father Figures present serious challenges to practices of patrilineage, patriarchy, and the powers that be. 🤣 Full Parade of Awful Fathers at link in bio/below. 😊

#Bridgeton uses fantasy to present us with an 18th century that appeals to our modern commitment to social justice. But reading 18thC women writers like Haywood, Ingram & Lennox reveals that there were also voices expressing these values at the time: theconversation.com/bridgerton-the…

Mansfield Park is so complicated, and raises important questions such as: Are we pro-Henry or anti-Henry?! But one character is clear: Aunt Norris. She's downright mean. What is Austen doing with all of it? We're looking to philosopher Adam Smith for clues. | Link in bio💮

Today is a sad day, but we are cheered by the thought that Jane Austen left this world having built for herself a life of art, of some well-earned ease, of attachment, and of love. She left with a sense of the powerful thing she was gifting to the ages: her stories. | Link=bio🌷
