  • Marianne Dashwood and Charlotte Lucas (The Christian Ideal of Marriage in Jane Austen)
    Not Said But Shown 432 17. Marianne Dashwood and Charlotte Lucas (The Christian Ideal of Marriage in Jane Austen) ----- Marianne Dashwood at seventeen believes in “wholeheartedness.” One should cultivate right feelings as far as one possibly can, and express them frankly and to the full; and all with whom one can relate properly must do the same. One’s feelings should be intense, and the expression of them should be enthusiastic and eloquent. Towards those whose feelings are right, but who cannot achieve this freedom of expression, one must be charitable; but one should avoid all whose thought and behavior is governed by convention. Following convention corrupts one’s “sensibility,” so that one can no longer tell what the truth of natural feeling is. Thus, when Edward Ferrars and Marianne’s sister Elinor become mutually attached, Marianne approves of Edward — and she certainly agrees with her mother, who says, “I have never yet known what it was to separate esteem and love” (SS, I, iii, 16). But she cannot imagine how Elinor can be in love with Edward, because he lacks true “sensibility.” “Edward is very amiable, and I love him tenderly. But . his figure is not striking . His eyes want all that spirit, that fire, which at once announce virtue and intelligence . he has no real taste . I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own . how spiritless, how tame was Edward’s manner in reading to us last night! . it would have broke my heart had I loved him, to hear him read with so little sensibility” (17-8).

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Jane Austen: An influential woman Thanks to her sharp wit and strong female characters, Jane Austen’s literature is still utterly relevant. Author Claire Harman asks – is she the most influential woman of the past 200 years? In 1811, a 35- year-old Hampshire spinster had her first book published anonymously: Sense And Sensibility, By A Lady. It got two brief, polite reviews, sold 500 copies and was swiftly forgotten. But 200 years later, everyone knows Jane Austen. She’s not just a writer, she’s a cult, a brand and a cultural touchstone. This marked the transition from obscurity to being one of this century and last’s most influential literary figures. It’s hard to believe her six short novels – yes, it really is just six – are still bought in their millions (because her work is out of copyright, there is no accurate estimate of how many). Austen’s influence and literary pulling-power can’t be over-estimated. She’s reached millions of people all over the world, not simply through the number of languages she’s been translated into (35 at the last count), but because there’s something in her work that readers connect with instantly. We read her because we feel she understands us – despite being born over two centuries ago. In many ways, her books are more in tune with our times and tastes than her own. In the first review she ever received, she was taken to task for a ‘want of newness’, but her books now seem markedly more original than anything else of the period.

There was a red carpet and people on it, front page pictures, plenty of journalists and TV crews and photographers from all over Europe, big stars, Aperol Spritzes in the bars, spaghetti vongole in the busy restaurants and packed (or half-packed), indusTry double-spaced, pre-booked screenings in the famous old 1,000+-seater cinemas, morning, afternoon and night. For 11 days. Whisper it, but it felt a bit like normal. Even if you couldn’t air kiss actresses or afloaT shake hands with film makers, or recognise old friends in their mask-and- sunglasses ensembles. And so what if I saw several films from behind steamed-up specs until I worked out how to breathe a bit easier behind the mask? The films, let’s face it, weren’t the best selection Venice has ever offered. In recent years, the Lido has kicked off the Oscar race and awards season buzz with opening films such as La La Land and Gravity and Birdman, and hosted winners such as The Shape of Water, Brokeback Mountain and Roma, and premiered performances by Helen Mirren in The Queen, or Frances McDormand in Three Billboards..., or Joaquin Phoenix in Joker.
