“Miss Ferrier avowedly made thumb-nail sketches,—as is proved in one of the few surviving letters to or from her,—out of which grew the merciless caricatures that created her fame”

—an 1893 article in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 contrasting Sussan Ferrier & Jane Austen

“It is a truth universally acknowledged…”

Susan Ferrier’s 2nd novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 (1824) starts with a nod & wink to Jane Austen’s 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 (1813). In 1818, Blackwood’s paid £150 for 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦; it is a testament to Ferrier’s popularity that they paid £1000 for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

Susan Ferrier (1782–1854) was born #OTD, 7 Sept. Her 3 novels – 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, & 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 – are vivid & humorous accounts of Scottish society. Often compared to her contemporary Jane Austen, Ferrier’s satires are much more vicious…

Went to a "Theatre walk", where the audience walked with the performers across our museum village to all locations where the acts took place. Real horses involved too. Incredibly well done performance of "pride & prejudice" by a group of young people. #JaneAusten #theatre #adolescents

A quotation from Jane Austen

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
Pride and Prejudice, ch. 18 [Elizabeth] (1813)

No sé si ver la serie "The other Bennet sister". Gente que leyó el libro y vio la serie dice que las personalidades de las demás Bennet no son congruentes con sus personalidades en la obra original🫤

Jane Austen tarot! Imagine my surprise when this showed up in my mailbox last week. I had completely forgotten I had pre-ordered it months ago. I like the card stock used, very easy to manipulate with shuffling and such. You should be able to find these everywhere. #JaneAusten #JaneAustenFan #TarotCards #TarotCommunity #TarotLove

I do love this quote from #JaneAusten, "I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve," it resonates with me, but also causes me to reflect again on the notion of "deserve" within a Protestant Ethic (read capitalist moral system); whether "deserve" deserves any structural place within a notion of #happiness, building a idea happiness based rather on the notion of building lived life no matter what the parameters of one's life are.

@Tony_Meredith Just stumbled across this article by Ronald Dunning on a Burgh-Darcy marriage, back in 1329: https://janeausteninvermont.blog/2013/03/13/what-jane-knew-a-1329-darcy-de-bourgh-marriage-in-jane-austens-family-tree/

Elizabeth #LadyofClare probably attended the first wedding of her husband's sister Joan de #Burgh at #Greencastle in 1312, but left Ireland in 1316 so would not have been at the second.

I think the #PrideAndPrejudice #CharacterNames allude to #UKpolitics in #JaneAusten's day, but a lot of #genealogical info was available to her: more at https://historians.social/@kawulf/109627062228137872

My first post here was 10 days ago, & the very first reply sent me down a fascinating #RabbitHole
🕳️ 🐇 to a #Britain in which #Tories push for a fairer society with a #MinimumWage & expanded #WelfareBenefits, & our most beloved novelist skewers their opponents. Relevant holiday reading?

Here's the conversation, long 🧵 - what an intro to #Fediverse!

#JaneAusten #UKpolitics
#WilliamPitt #PoorLaws

#CharacterNames #PrideAndPrejudice

@Tony_Meredith I also found 'The Comedy of Social Distinctions in Pride and Prejudice' by John McAleer which explains that Jane Austen's great-grandmother was a Brydges & descended from Lionel Duke of Clarence - so as it happens #JaneAusten was a direct descendant of Elizabeth de Burgh #LadyOfClare. However the evidence seems compelling that Jane's #CharacterNames were directly related to political issues of her day. She started writing in Oct1796, just as Pitt proposed reforming the #PoorLaws.

@Tony_Meredith Donald Greene noted that #JaneAusten used old English family names & also alluded to living characters. He explains that Sir #EgertonBrydges thought his name had evolved from Burgh, that he was expanding 'Collins's Peerage' (9 vols in his 1812 edition), & that his pretensions irritated Jane. Independent readers might not connect the name Bourgh with Brydges, but the man himself would. So would the Austen family, given some Brydges ancestry. 🧵

#CharacterNames #PrideAndPrejudice

@Tony_Meredith
When I first read your question I thought a connection improbable; after some reflection & googling that changed!
The Wikipedia page on #JaneAusten was helpful, & thinking about the conversational & subscription networks of a force of nature like #JohnNichols - Jane's father & #WarrenHastings might well have been typical of the customers in this age of gentleman #bibliophiles and #antiquarians?
