Wilberforce needed an editor for that title. LOL. This was soooo interesting. Thank you so much for sharing your paper--it's so well done. I'm looking forward to more like this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I love this emphasis on faith being productive and not antagonistic. Blessings!
Interesting paper Beatrice. An examination of theatricality, evangelicalism and (her attitudes towards) enthusiasm, are useful concepts to help bring out a fuller understanding of Austen. I, sometimes, lose sight of these and other aspects of her worldview, as I have a tendency to see Austen as an Aristotelian moral reasoner in a too narrow sense. I also tend to see her outside of the great changes Anglicanism was undergoing in her era. Your discussions are excellent ballast to help right the ship!
Fantastic! Thank you for watching. I tend to think of Austen as a strict Anglican, which she was, but once I delved into the Evangelical influences, I realised that a certain branch of Evangelicalism was actually fairly conservative and close to how Austen's own family would have worshiped and what they would have believed as Anglicans. I have a lot.more to think about with this, but it's super interesting!
A good location in a symposium is very important: in essence, an added character, and Your choice, in this video, was very brave and perfectly pertinent. Amazing the overall energy that camed trough, in this 'Mansfield Park' and 'Persuasion' novels based emotions disclosure. The more i follow Your videos, the clearer becomes the Jane Austen works to me and it is delightful to be surprised more and more, at every new 'Lady Disdain Reads' video. If this is supposed to be only the practice, the symposium will be certainly a success.
