1 The #GuildFestivalTheatre calls the Greek amphitheatre it performs at the “loveliest #theatre in the #GTA,” or words to that effect, and they might be right. They are currently putting on an adaptation of #NorthangerAbbey by #JaneAusten that manages to be very funny, yet true to the spirit … 🧵

There are remarkable parallels between Pride and Prejudice and Edward Gibbon Wakefield.

Jane Austen started writing P&P in 1796, the year Wakefield was born.

The villainous Wickham plots to elope to Gretna Green with the 15 year old heiress Georgiana Darcy.
The villainous Wakefield eloped to Gretna Green with the 15 year old heiress Ellen Turner.

Wickham hopes to get his hands on Miss Darcy's £30,000.
Wakefield would have got £30,000 through his first wife Eliza Pattle, had she survived to her 21st birthday.

Unlike Eliza and Georgiana (and Lydia Bennet), Ellen's consent was obtained unwillingly and by deception. Wakefield claimed that only by marrying him could she save her father from (completely fictional) financial ruin. The marriage was subsequently dissolved by a special act of Parliament.

Readers speculate as to what various characters' futures might have held after the end of the book. Might Wickham's have included both prison and Parliament, as it did for Wakefield?

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?

The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!

Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.

Best part? There all in public domain, so you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!

Books by George Eliot – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/90

Books by Virginia Woolf – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/89

Books by Jane Austen – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/68

Books by Charles Dickens – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/37

Finished my #JaneAusten #Reading with #NorthangerAbbey - VERY funny in places, especially early on & some insightful asides about women & their treatment, as in the screenshot it did enough to ensure it did not come in last in my affections. My rankings and #StoryGraph ratings #bookstodon @bookstodon

RE-READ CERTAIN
1. Persuasion 4.75/5
2. Mansfield Park 4.75/5

RE-READ POSSIBLE
3. Pride and Prejudice 4.25/5
4. Sense and Sensibility 4/5

ONCE WAS ENOUGH
5. Northanger Abbey 4/5
6. Emma 3.5/5

I simply LOVED this takedown of a very anodyne word in #NorthangerAbbey but it would have been nice if she'd gone all the way back to its earliest English meaning. 😀

"it is a very nice word indeed!—it does for every thing. Originally perhaps it was applied only to express neatness, propriety, delicacy, or refinement;.... But now every commendation on every subject is comprised in that one word.”" #JaneAusten #bookstodon @bookstodon

I know that every person and their canine has probably already read #NorthangerAbbey , but I'm #Reading it for the first time, and it's freakin' hilarious! 😂 The LONG '4th wall' rant about the contempt for novelists had me in stitches. #bookstodon
#JaneAusten @bookstodon

I'm #Reading #NorthangerAbbey to complete my #JaneAusten TBR and if it keeps going like this, it will be fun #bookstodon

@dancast

True enough. It eventually becomes clear that Mister Amis most ardently admired and loved Miss Austen. But perhaps he hated himself a bit for it.

And his description in those last three lines of the drooping arc of her personal hopes and life are so brutal you want to look away.

#Books #JaneAusten #MartinAmis

Jesus, Martin Amis was a brutal bastard.

"No reader can resist the brazen wishfulness of 'Pride and Prejudice,' but it is clear from internal evidence alone that Austen never fully forgave herself for it. 'Mansfield Park' was her—and our—penance. As her own prospects weakened, dreams of romance paled into the modest hope for respectability. 'Persuasion' was her poem to the second chance. And then came death."
