Download or read book Teenage Writings written by Jane Austen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Jane Austen practising' Virginia Woolf Three notebooks of Jane Austen's teenage writings survive. The earliest pieces probably date from 1786 or 1787, around the time that Jane, aged 11 or 12, and her older sister and collaborator Cassandra left school. By this point Austen was already an indiscriminate and precocious reader, devouring pulp fiction and classic literature alike; what she read, she soon began to imitate and parody. Unlike many teenage writings then and now, these are not secret or agonized confessions entrusted to a private journal and for the writer's eyes alone. Rather, they are stories to be shared and admired by a named audience of family and friends. Devices and themes which appear subtly in Austen's later fiction run riot openly and exuberantly across the teenage page. Drunkenness, brawling, sexual misdemeanour, theft, and even murder prevail.

Book Synopsis Jane Austen's Transatlantic Sister by : Sheila Johnson Kindred
Download or read book Jane Austen's Transatlantic Sister written by Sheila Johnson Kindred and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1807, genteel, Bermuda-born Fanny Palmer (1789-1814) married Jane Austen's youngest brother, Captain Charles Austen, and was thrust into a demanding life within the world of the British navy. Experiencing adventure and adversity in wartime conditions both at sea and onshore, the spirited and resilient Fanny travelled between and lived in Bermuda, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and England. After crossing the Atlantic in 1811, she ingeniously made a home for Charles and their daughters aboard a working naval vessel, and developed a supportive friendship with his sister, Jane. In Jane Austen’s Transatlantic Sister, Fanny’s articulate and informative letters – transcribed in full for the first time and situated in their meticulously researched historical context – disclose her quest for personal identity and autonomy, her maturation as a wife and mother, and the domestic, cultural, and social milieu she inhabited. Sheila Johnson Kindred also investigates how Fanny was a source of naval knowledge for Jane, and how much she was an inspiration for Austen’s literary invention, especially for the female naval characters in Persuasion. Although she died young, Fanny’s story is a compelling record of female naval life that contributes significantly to our limited knowledge of women’s roles in the Napoleonic Wars. Enhanced by rarely seen illustrations, Fanny’s life story is a rich new source for Jane Austen scholars and fans of her fiction as well as for those interested in biography, women’s letters, and history of the family.

Book Synopsis The Real Jane Austen by : Paula Byrne
Download or read book The Real Jane Austen written by Paula Byrne and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A vivacious portrait. . . . Byrne’s Austen emerges as a worldly woman, profoundly enmeshed in a wider world than she’s often acknowledged to occupy. This is an Austen with a sense for the political as well as for the finer points of sensibility—and one who will be unfamiliar (though never unrecognizable) to many readers.” — Publishers Weekly In The Real Jane Austen, acclaimed literary biographer Paula Byrne provides the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of a beloved but complex novelist. Just as letters and tokens in Jane Austen’s novels often signal key turning points in the narrative, Byrne explores the small things – a scrap of paper, a gold chain, an ivory miniature – that held significance in Austen’s personal and creative life. Byrne transports us to different worlds, from the East Indies to revolutionary Paris, and to different events, from a high society scandal to a case of petty shoplifting. In this ground-breaking biography, Austen is set on a wider stage than ever before, revealing a well-traveled and politically aware writer – important aspects of her artistic development that have long been overlooked. The Real Jane Austen is a fresh, compelling, and surprising biography of the author of some of our most enduring classic books – from Pride and Prejudice to Sense and Sensibility, Emma to Persuasion – and a vivid evocation of the world that shaped her.
Book Synopsis Individual, Family and Society in Jane Austen's Work by : ZOUHEIR. JAMOUSSI
Download or read book Individual, Family and Society in Jane Austen's Work written by ZOUHEIR. JAMOUSSI and published by . This book was released on 2022-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws the attention of readers of Jane Austen's work to important aspects which have never been taken into due consideration by critics and are yet keys to the meaning of the relationship between individual, family and society in her writings. These aspects include the amazing number of ill-assorted married couples, and heredity through which conflicting characters in the parents are transmitted to their children. This accounts for strained relationships between siblings, further complicated by the inheritance customs of entail and primogeniture. The linkage seen by Austen between ill-matched couples, heredity (a natural process), and inheritance (social laws) is undoubtedly essential to action in her books. Within the families stand heroines, isolated yet central individuals, detached enough for keen observation of familial and social ills. Indeed, all criticism and all suggestions for reform are to be traced to their consciousness and conscience. Interestingly, the heroines' own developments are concomitant with momentous changes in the world in which they live. As the book shows, Austen is keenly aware of and mostly receptive to socio-economic evolution, pervasive bourgeois ideology, and social mobility, with their combined effects on the relationships between individuals, families, and society.
Download or read book Martha Lloyd's Household Book written by and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first facsimile publication of 'Martha Lloyd's Household Book', the manuscript cookbook of Jane Austen's closest friend. Martha's notebook is reproduced to scale in a colour facsimile section with complete transcription and detailed annotation. Introductory chapters discuss its place among other household books of the long eighteenth century. Martha Lloyd befriended a young Jane Austen and later lived with Jane, her sister Cassandra and their mother at the cottage in Chawton, Hampshire, where Jane wrote or revised her novels. Martha later married into the Austen family. Her collection features recipes and remedies handwritten during a period of over thirty years and includes the only surviving recipes from Mrs Austen and Captain Francis Austen, Jane's mother and brother. There are many connections between Martha's book and Jane Austen's writing, including white soup from 'Pride and Prejudice' and the author's favourites - toasted cheese and mead. The family, culinary and literary connections detailed in the introductory chapters of this work give a fascinating perspective on the time and manner in which both women lived, thanks to this extraordinary artefact passed down through the Austen family.
