This is a super little video. I love listening to Austen's stories, on the Librivox app. 'Letters to her Sister Cassandra and Others' by Jane Austen, is a book of some letters she sent Cassandra it is on the Librivox app too. What a stroke of luck that her brother would become a wealthy heir. I don't understand how he became one though. Was he a relative of the rich, childless couple or were they family friends only? I must Google it. 17th of February 2022 @4:21. 🇮🇪❤️
Because I want Jane's house and museum to be there for my grandchildren, I work constantly to educate and encourage the necessary transition away from fossil fuels, so that climate change cannot destroy the civil society which supports those things we dearly love, like Jane's stories.
5:00 This old woman is so full of herself. She should actually read Chaucer instead of just quoting it. Otherwise, this documentary has the excellent pride of a people to which Jane Austen is a local-much as San Francisco kept its street cars because of Henry George, or how Dante Alighieri saw Virgil's _Æniad_ . For some of the basic history without too much romanticism (and Jane Austen was not very romantic, like Cervantes), I enjoyed Jon Hunter Spence, who was clearly looking for love in Jane Austen (and while _Sense and Sensibility_ was successful during her time, she hated Bath and probably had specifically asked to have _Northanger Abbey_ and _Persuasion_, which in this documentary are goo-eyed at with the letters that start the _Koran_, not published by her sailor brother until after her death.)
Steventon is everything regarding Jane Austen, all other sites are insignificant. Jane Austen died of hodgkin's lymphoma, I know this 100%. My website will launch in 2021, all i can say is " You havent seen nothing yet !"
Brilliant little film! I went to Steventon and did a video too. I must say Steventon was were Jane Austen was created. Her birthplace, inspiration and lived their for 25 years!! It was here she wrote half of her famed novels. Steventon was her defining moment in life.
As an Altonian who volunteers at the Jane Austen House Museum this is a lovely film that promotes the link between Alton, Chawton and Jane Austen. Tell you friends and share it!
Congratulations on release of this documentary from London, Canada chapter of Jasna. Fascinating and insightful look at life and times of our dear Jane Austen.
