Daisy Edgar-Jones unpacks how the Dashwood sisters ‘feel like they exist today’ in Sense and Sensibility adaptation

Adding to the authenticity? The fact that some of the garments, which were hand-dyed with elderberries, couldn’t be “properly” washed. “It was very hot,” Edgar-Jones recalls. “I wish I’d worn a little more deodorant.”

The Guardian view on writers’ houses: a museum of one’s own | Editorial

#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? :-)

Meine ersten Erfahrungen mit Jane-Austen-Romanen machte ich mit dem Reclam-Verlag und so mit der Übersetzung der Grawes.
Bei meiner Beschäftigung mit ein paar Einzelfragen sind mir Sachen aufgefallen, die ich nicht so toll finde – eine davon habe ich jetzt als Blogartikel verarbeitet:

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

Jane Austen mentions second breakfast in Mansfield Park, published 123 years before The Hobbit.
"Soon after the second breakfast, Edmund bade them goodbye for a week, and mounted his horse for Peterborough, and then all were gone." (Ch. 29)

A classic when it comes to #seamonsters is this (famous or infamous?) 2009 #mashup of #JaneAusten 's #SenseandSensibility with "monstrous" contributions by Ben H. Winters. Maybe 2025 is a good time to dive into it for #JaneAusten250 ?

Been wanting to get something from the #JaneAusten #fabric collection by #RileyBlake for a while now. The #MansfieldPark series was on sale from #MissouriStarQuiltCo today so I'm finally adding it to my #quilting stash.

Found two other pretty fabrics while I was on the site and ordered those too. (Lavender with tan vines and blue with swans.)

My first Austen.
Quite different from what I expected.
Everything seems to be about wealth and money.
Interesting and challenging - I just did not get a few sentences and verbs and expressions.
And I think we overanalyse and project too much when reading classics.

Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

8/10

#MansfieldPark #JaneAusten #englishliterature #bookstodon

A close reading of #JaneAusten's work shows that she was indeed very political. For example, she denounces the slave trade in #MansfieldPark and her brother Henry was an abolitionist.

I'm not here to debate your voting choices as long as you vote!

I've said it before in various other questions, but for me, it's MANSFIELD PARK. It's a snooze fest.

I am NOT a fan of #MansfieldPark but I bet there is a lot more to it than what we think there is.

TFW you're reading a Regency romance and the author has BOTH lead characters diss your 2nd favourite #JaneAusten in favour of the oh-so-predictable choice. It is a truth universally acknowledged that #MansfieldPark does not get the love it deserves.

One of the MOSTEST NOIREST of my #KDrama bêtes noires is vile villains getting off scot-free. Happily, there was none of that namby-pamby nonsense in the excellent #MansfieldPark - if only I could write 1% as well as #JaneAusten

"shut up together with little society, on one side no affection, on the other, no judgement, it may be reasonably supposed that their tempers became their mutual punishment"

#MansfieldPark may be the least cheery work of #JaneAusten but it has still made me laugh out loud several times thanks to her keenly realistic observation and razor sharp understated cynical wit. This was the most recent example for me
#AmReading @bookstodon

I really struggled to finish #Emma because the incomparable #JaneAusten succeeded far too well in her apparently stated intention of creating an unlikable protagonist. HOWEVER, as I approach the halfway point in #MansfieldPark, the noxious Norris makes Emma seem the epitome of all that is sweet, lovable and good.😡👿

Jane Austen was such a sharp observer of human nature.
Maria Bertram sees the natural results of her choices approaching:
"It was a gloomy prospect, and all that she could do was to throw a mist over it, and hope when the mist cleared away, she should see something else."
