  • Sanditon Scripted by Emmy® Award Winner Andrew Davies Premiering on MASTERPIECE on PBS January 12, 2020
    Jane Austen’s Final Unfinished Work—Finished! Sanditon Scripted by Emmy® Award Winner Andrew Davies Premiering on MASTERPIECE on PBS January 12, 2020 Jane Austen was chronically ill with a mysterious disease in early 1817, when she turned her thoughts to a happier subject. She started work on a witty and delightful novel set in a seaside town. She never finished it. Now, noted screenwriter Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Les Misérables, Primetime Emmy® winner for Little Dorrit) picks up Austen’s plot and takes it in a glorious and satisfying direction, on Sanditon. Produced by Red Planet Pictures, the eight-hour series will premiere on MASTERPIECE on PBS on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 9pm ET. MASTERPIECE’s bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen’s final work stars Rose Williams (Curfew) as Austen’s lively but levelheaded heroine, Charlotte Heywood; Theo James (Divergent) as the humorous, charming (and slightly wild!) Sidney Parker; Anne Reid (Years and Years) as the forthright grande dame of Sanditon, Lady Denham; Kris Marshall (Love Actually) as Sanditon’s compulsively enterprising promoter, Tom Parker; and Crystal Clarke (Ordeal by Innocence) as the mysterious West Indian heiress, Miss Lambe. Also appearing are Kate Ashfield (Secrets and Lies) as Tom’s stalwart spouse, Mary; Jack Fox (Riviera) as the fortune hunter Sir Edward Denham; Charlotte Spencer (Watership Down) as Sir Edward’s scheming sister, Esther; and Lily Sacofsky (Bancroft) as the enigmatic and elegant Clara Brereton. With four acclaimed Austen adaptations to his credit (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey and Emma), plus the Pride and Prejudice modernization Bridget Jones’s Diary, Andrew Davies is no stranger to Jane Austen’s story strategies— which makes him the perfect candidate to channel the creative spirit of one of the world’s most amusing and penetrating novelists.

Her father, the Reverend George Austen, held the two rectories of Deane and Steventon in Hampshire, having been appointed to them by the favor of a cousin and an uncle. He thus belonged to the gentry, and it seems likely that he entered the church more as a profession than a vocation.

  • Multi-Dimensional Feminism: Elizabeth Bennet and the Representation of Women in the Media
    Eliana Berger [email protected] Multi-Dimensional Feminism: Elizabeth Bennet and the Representation of Women in the Media Depictions of women in the media have historically been less representative of actual people than of idealized, single-faceted characters. Women on television and in books are too often defined by a single trait or belief; they are either beautiful or ugly, foolish or intelligent, strong or weak, inspirational or malevolent. Seldom are women depicted as complex people with conflicting thoughts and feelings wholly their own. Understanding this, one can perceive the importance of Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. She was a strong – though faulted – female character who understood and advocated for her values, undermining contemporary stereotypes with her outspokenness. Elizabeth’s world is typical of middle-class Caucasian families of the 1790s, when the book was originally written. She and the other women in the story are defined and confined by romantic-era, cult of sensibility stereotypes: women are frail, hypersensitive creatures whose only worth is in their marriage prospects. Her mother is prone to fainting. All of Elizabeth’s sisters are encouraged to find men to marry as soon as possible to secure themselves futures. However, Austen breaks with this conventional image in how she portrays Elizabeth. Elizabeth Bennet, by the end of the novel, is a fully-formed human being with feminist opinions on the world around her and the intelligence to back them up with. She is just as much a complex human as any of the men in the story, in spite of being a woman.

  • Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion
    RTN_C01.qxd 6/22/07 2:04 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion Jane Austen is an author readers think they know. At least one reader of Austen has described heaven as a place where you would habitually engage in con- versation with her. There are Austen societies in England and in the United States. Some readers concern themselves with every detail of her novels and their social settings, down to the cut of dresses and the recipes for the food consumed in them. There is indeed a name for such people, “Janeites.” Henry James objected to all this, writing disparagingly of those who, for commercial gain, in his view distorted her actual (and considerable) achievement by invit- ing readers to think of her as “their ‘dear,’ our dear, everybody’s dear, Jane.”1 Rudyard Kipling, by contrast, wrote a story celebrating a particular group of Janeites – a group of World War I soldiers who kept their sanity intact by engag- ing in an elaborate ritual of giving the military objects around them names drawn from the persons and places depicted in “Jane’s” novels, and testing each other on their details. The palpable realities of her world, its men and women and settings, were apparently sufficient to ward off the horrific realities of trench warfare, if anything could. The idea that novels contain real people and are told to us directly by their authors is one that teachers of the novel often find themselves combating – usually for good reasons. Readers who think of characters as if they were real people living in the real world have a way of remaking those characters according to the logic of the familiar world they themselves inhabit, which can be a way of short-circuiting a more difficult but in the end more rewarding kind of reading that takes into account historical, cultural, and ideological differences between the present and the past, and is alive to the novelist’s craft.

  • Jane Austen's Legacy: Anna Austen Lefroy's Manuscript of Sanditon
    Jane Austen's Legacy: Anna Austen Lefroy's Manuscript of Sanditon MARY GAITHER MARSHALL 357 W. GroveLombard, Street, IllinoisLombard, IL 60148 Jane Anna Austen Lefroy, Jane Austen's "literary niece," was the first to attempt a continuation of Jane Austen's incomplete Sanditon, although her work was the last to be published, almost 150 years later. The existence of Lefroy's manuscript was virtually unknown until it appeared at auction asLot266 in the December 13,1977,sale at Sotheby Parke Bernet. Dr. James M. W. Borg, a bookseller, publisher, and independent scholar, was the successful bidder (and current owner). In 1982, knowing of my interest in Jane Austen and my previous Austen publications, he inquired if I would be willing to edit the Lefroy manuscript for publication by his Chiron Press. I agreed and soon began transcribing the heavily revised manuscript. With the growing interest in Lefroy's manuscript (as seen in Le Faye's article and those published here by Peter Sabor and Kathleen James-Cavan), perhaps a description of the manuscript would be valuable because only Dr. Borg and I have worked with the original document. Anna Lefroy's manuscript consists of 113 handwritten pages on wove writing paper. Fifty-four leaves are divided into three gatherings and hand stitched with thread. The remaining 21 leaves, consisting of a plot revolving about Clara Brereton, are loose fold- ings. Although Lefroy's continuation of Sanditon is incomplete, her manuscript is approximately the same length as Austen's fragment and therefore doubles the length of the novel. Notes in blue, orange, and red pencil, with numbers indicating word counts and with "1st edition-23 lines- 160/words per page" on the last leaf, indicate that Lefroy had thoughts of publishing the work.

  • Jane Austen: the French Connection 107 with Footnotes on Every Page
    Jane Austen: t The French Connection :Li JOAN AUSTEN-LEIGH Joan Austen-Leigh is the co-founder, with Jack Grey and Henry Burke, of the Jane Austen Society of North America. For nineteen years, she edited this journal. Mr. Austen was once asked by a neighbor, a man of many acres, whether Paris was in France or France was in Paris. I cannot help but feel that I have almost as little right as that shamefully clueless squire to be addressing the subject of Jane Austen and the French Connection. Now, having delivered myself of that disclaimer, the first aspect of this subject that interests me, especially as I am deficient in that respect myself, is, how well did Jane Austen speak French? If she were here with us today, would she be quite at ease in Quebec City, choos- ing some gloves or purchasing a sponge cake? First, it’s time for a brief history lesson from your impartial, unprejudiced, and, until beginning to work on this paper, abysmally ignorant historian. I have now informed myself that sixteen years before Jane Austen was born, on September 13, 1759, Wolfe defeated Montcalm. The battle lasted one hour, and the history of Canada was forever changed. It has been estimated that there were, then, approximately sev- enty thousand French settlers. Today, in a Canadian population of about twenty-nine million, more than four million speak French only. Why do I tell you these things? Because the French, as a nation, have always been protective of their language and culture, and I have 106 PERSUASIONS No.
