Chatting All Things Jane Austen: Brenda Cox Interview 

wonderful, thank you for bringing this discussion to us. a wonderfully interesting discussion

This was great! Thanks so much Beatrice.

I very much enjoyed your discussion! I'll pick up Brenda Cox's book. You brought out her insights very well. I look forward to future guests and your always interesting views on literature.

I would like to dedicate special thanks to the charm of the interviewer's competence on the one hand, and to that of the interviewee on the other, who, spanning several generations of a depth passion for Jane Austen's works, gave me a glimpse of an entire world , which lies behind some famous novels. It is certainly a perspective that I had never considered, looking at Jane Austen's stories only from a literary point of view, so I perceived this very interesting interview as a sort of guide, to begin to understand and appreciate the religious context that the author has skilfully nestled between the lines of his novels. sincerely, thank you, dear Beatrice and dear Brenda S. Cox Flavio

This is such a great discussion!! Thank you so, so much for this. If only we could make goodness fashionable again.....

So wonderful! So appreciate that you continue to educate and teach us!

Thank you Beatrice, this was really interesting and very enjoyable. Brenda Cox's book looks amazing I will have to order it.

Thank you and Ms. Cox for this. I will be buying her book and thanking you for bringing her book to my attention. While he's a bit out of the pale Austen-wise, I would suggest that anyone interested in the culture of a portion of the CofE read Anthony Trollope's The Warden and Barchester Tower. Both novels "cover the "water front" of the clergy during the early 1850s from the grasping cleric to the fake evangelical to the true and faithful.

From all the fools or weak sisters who are clergymen in her books, I always wondered whether JA's faith was of the shallow or casual kind. All those clergymen orbiting around the Big-House-park in MP were being supported more or less by West Indies slavery, and Jane had no problem pointing out hypocrisy. Thanks for sharing your sense of the other side of the coin.
