#JaneAustenJuly 2026 What I’ll be reading
We’re again at #JaneAustenJuly. This year, I’ll be (re)reading Emma and the non-fiction A Portrait of Jane Austen by David Cecil, published in 1978, that some dear friends gift me recently from their visit to Hay-on-Wye (yes, the Book Town).
You can check my past post with direct links to all the works of Jane Austen from Project Gutenberg, that you can read anywhere. If you have a Kobo, you may prefer the kepub format (statistics and so on), so here’s the link to Austen’s works at Standard Ebooks.
What will you be reading for #JaneAustenJuly? :-)

We are of each an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all of the eclat of a proverb.
Jane Austen (1775-1817) English author

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!

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice was first published on 28th of January of 1813 and is one of my (and so many others) favorite novels of all time. If you never read it, do not go thinking it is a love story. Well, it’s kind of, but it’s so much more: It’s a comedy of manners and social criticism.
“I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know.“
Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra on the 29th of January of 1823Elizabeth Bennet is one of my favourite characters: she is intelligent, witty, has no problems to recognise she was mistaken, but also she embodies women independence and resistance. We can see this when she decides to walk to Netherfield, instead of waiting for the carriage, to check on her sister or, when in Rosings, Elizabeth is playing the piano and says to Mr. Darcy:
“My fingers,” said Elizabeth, “do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women’s do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault—because I would not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman’s of superior execution.”
There are many editions of Pride & Prejudice, some with introductions or annotated that give more insights on the text, but if you want to read it right now, head over to Project Gutenberg that has the edition with the illustrations by Hugh Thomson. You can read it or download it here.

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.
-
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."

“THERE was a time when #juvenilia and “teenage writing” were regarded simply as stuff to be got through on the way to the “mature” writings of some literary celebrity. No longer.”

Martin Amis on the Genius of Jane Austen (and What the Adaptations Get Wrong)
Superb critical essay from 1996, demonstrating a deep love and understanding of Jane Austen. He elegantly eviscerates Four Weddings and a Funeral - "the upper crust is playing cute" - and happily spends much more time on the brilliant BBC television series (1995). That was the only adaptation of Pride and Prejudice worth watching, the gold standard.
