Book Synopsis Jane Austen and Leisure by : David Selwyn
Download or read book Jane Austen and Leisure written by David Selwyn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Austen's novels portray a leisured society of gentlemen and ladies who do not need to work. Even the minority of clergymen, soldiers and sailors - men with professions - are almost never seen working. Jane Austen herself, despite responsibility for some domestic tasks, wrote as a woman of leisure. Yet leisure, the distinguishing mark of a gentleman, was not meant to be an excuse for idleness. The proper use of leisure to fulfil duties, to read and to think, and above all to pursue social relations in a world where family and marriage for the propertied was of central importance, was a vital test of character.

Book Synopsis Jane Austen and Children by : David Selwyn
Download or read book Jane Austen and Children written by David Selwyn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Austen is not usually associated with children - especially since she had none of her own. But there are in fact more children in her novels than one might at first think. She herself was from a sizeable family, with numerous nephews and nieces. She was, by all accounts, good with children and popular with them. It was therefore natural for her to include them in her novels, even if sometimes offstage. This book, by one of the world's leading authorities on Austen, looks at both the real and the literary children in her life - children seen and unseen (and dead); children as models of behaviour, good and bad; as objects of affection, amusement, usefulness, pity, regret, jealousy, resentment; children in the way; children as excuses; children as heirs. In the process it casts fascinating light on a hitherto largely ignored aspect of her work and the age in which she lived.

Book Synopsis Jane Austen & Sally Rooney by : Zoë Brown
Download or read book Jane Austen & Sally Rooney written by Zoë Brown and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jane Austen (1775-1817) and Sally Rooney (1991-Present) write novels two centuries apart and both focus on themes of love and social class ... Both Austen and Rooney investigate the topic of leisure to criticize the privileges of the upper class ... Although Austen and Rooney are separated by more than two hundred years, their novels contain comparable arguments about the privilege of the upper class. Their parallels demonstrate to readers that similar issues exist today that existed in the 1800s: prejudice, being blind to privilege, self-absorption, and ignorance. Although society praises people based on how wealthy they are, Rooney and Austen argue that being wealthy isn't everything."--Page 1.

Book excerpt: Step into the world of Georgian England and learn more about the genteel life of this beloved author. Although Jane Austen's works were first published anonymously and brought her little personal recognition, today they are rarely out of print and have inspired movies, television shows and mini-series, literary anthologies, and many other adaptations all around the world. Her writing—principally her five novels—is a critique of the British landed gentry at the end of the eighteenth century, and often a comment on the pursuit of a "good match" in matters of marriage. Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Northhanger Abbey remain her most famous works. Who Was Jane Austen? reveals the life of this most private author.
