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.

The titular character of the novella in particular presents a literary conundrum for critics and readers of Austen. Despite varied and colorful readings, critics have failed to fully resolve the differences between Lady Susan and Austen’s more beloved, maidenly heroines such as Elizabeth Bennet and Anne Elliott.

Emma Austen, Jane Published: 1816 Categorie(s): Fiction, Romance Source: Wikisource 1 About Austen: Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an Eng- lish novelist whose works include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Her biting social commentary and masterful use of both free indirect speech and irony eventually made Austen one of the most influential and honored novelists in English Lit- erature.

She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affec- tionate, indulgent father; and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection. Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr.

Set in the 1790s, earlier than most Austen tales, LOVE & FRIENDSHIP concerns beautiful young widow Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) who has come to Churchill, the estate of her in-laws, to wait out colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst ensconced there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and for her daughter, Frederica, played by Morfydd Clark. Chloë Sevigny, who starred with Beckinsale in Stillman's The Last Days of Disco (1998), plays Lady Susan’s friend and confidante Alicia Johnson, with Stephen Fry as her husband, the "very Respectable" Mr. Johnson. The waters are troubled by the arrival at Churchill of the handsome, eligible Reginald DeCourcy (Xavier Samuel) and silly but cheerful -- and very rich -- Sir James Martin (Tom Bennett).

Mansfield Park Implies About Jane
JANE AUSTEN 1 S MORAL SENSE AND NANS FIELD PARK by LADEAN JUNE FEN TON B. A., Kansas State University, I965 A MASTER'S REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of English KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1967 Approved by: ' *feu Major Professor LI 11 CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I. Introduction 1 II. Review of the Literature 3 III. A Theory: Miscalculation and 32 Misunderstanding List of Works Cited 53 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Critics of Jane Austen's writing have long been puzzled by Nans field Park because the moral tone of this novel seems different from that of any of her other novels. There has been much critical discussion of whether or not the moral tone of this novel is different from that of the other novels , and there has been disagreement about what the moral tone of Mansfield Park implies about Jane Austen's moral sense. In this novel she seems to depart from her usual lively, perceptively critical point of view toward the manners and conventions of her time. In Mansfield Park some critics have seen evidence that she condones the very things she criticized in her earlier novels. In addition, her later novels return to the tone of critical v satire characteristic of the novels before i ians field Park . Before going on, the term "moral tone" should be explained. In the context of this paper "moral tone" will refer to the specific attitude which seems to be expressed through the book by the writer on the behavior of characters in the book in relation to the ethical Tight- ness or wrongness of that behavior.
