📜 Jane Austen: Sarcasm and Subversion - Jane Austen wrote in the name of making critical social commentary of the privileges she and others held while the rest of Europe was in political turmoil. Her novels like "Pride and Prejudice," "Mansfield Park," and "Emma" made waves in their time for how they criticized Victorian-era society.

Jane Austen saw the hypocrisy of an entire class of the most powerful empire on Earth taking tea and planning balls while the world burned. And from a young age she took up arms against that hypocrisy with the only weapon she had: her pen. Join the community at: bit.ly/EHPatreon

@z-beeblebrox 5 лет назад

@@beaste1970 It's likely they just became overprotective of her image. You see that a lot even with modern authors who pass away, that their surviving family gets extremely possessive of their relative's image and curating it to be as positive as possible. This kind of attitude can lead to some truly absurd lengths, scrubbing even the most innocent personal correspondence from the record, often in ways the actual writer never would have approved of. A similar thing happened to Lewis Carol and it was even worse, because the decision backfired and made everyone posthumously think he was a pedophile.

@AMoniqueOcampo 5 лет назад

This is basically why I love Jane Austen. She gets written off and underestimated even today because people don't see past the surface of her work. To me, Sense and Sensibility is about determining what we value most and about growing up, emotionally. Pride and Prejudice's moral is to be willing to change your mind and laugh at yourself. Mansfield Park is a morality play that cautions against people who choose appearances and status over what actually matters. Emma is about humbling the privileged. Persuasion is about the advantages of a mature mind. And Northanger Abbey basically pokes fun at girls who take Gothic romance too seriously.

@morat242 5 лет назад

wu1ming9shi No, she thought contemporary women's dependence on men was awful, but she knew it was true. That's the sarcastic joke Austen is making, the single young women desperately want to believe that the rich single men need to marry them, but it's the other way around. All the daughters of a gentleman needed to marry a gentleman to stay in that class, but only the eldest son inherited the land that made him a gentleman. So there was a massive shortage of single gentlemen. There was no alternative for the vast majority of women. Be supported by a man or be poor in a world with no welfare state. Austen herself earned very little money from her works, and depended on her brothers' charity.

@extrahistory 5 лет назад

(Comment from Belinda) I don't know if anyone else has had this experience with Jane Austen's works, but in the educational culture I grew up in, the historical context of Austen's writing was almost never emphasized. Pride & Prejudice in particular is frequently reduced to being the original formula for romantic comedies (to say nothing of its own spin-off movies of the same name). I remember in high school class it seemed really weird to me that we would be talking about this 19th century novel as a progressive feminist work because it's already a given in the 21st century world that marrying for love is extremely commonplace. I'm really proud of our writers Jac and Rob, and our artist Ali, for bringing to life the "extra History" of Jane Austen that gets glossed over by popular culture.

Lots of writers have taken Austen and run with it. For example, Wickham turns up in the Sharpe novels. There is err an erotic novel about one of the ladies in Pride and Prejudice too. I think one thing that happened, was the BBC serials, etc have been made as Romcoms, and do not want to show, how dangerous Wickham is (He may be the first functional psychopath in literature ) Mr Bennett, is almost trapped in a situation where the only way out, is to fight a duel, or have his daughters reputations ruined.

@frankupton5821 5 лет назад

P.S. There's a scene in Mansfield Park which is a metaphor for slavery. Fanny Price is made to spend a long time outdoors picking flowers - a luxury product, like sugar - on a hot day. She becomes exhausted. One of her aunts, Mrs Norris, is the overseer - she forces Fanny to do some extra work while the other aunt, Lady Bertram (wife of the estate owner), lounges about enjoying the nice sunshine and pretty flowers. Fanny's suffering is not one-thousandth of that of the enslaved field-workers, but the system of cruelty is the same.

@PaulfromChicago 4 года назад

Scene? The entire novel is metaphor. How many times is the word plantation used as a description of Mansfield Park? 3 or 4? Or naming the house after Lord Mansfield, the famous abolitionist and guardian of Dido Belle? How about the supposed protagonist's name, Fanny Price? That's not an accident. (I'm of the opinion that Mary Crawford is the real protagonist, but that's just me.) The entire story is about the subjugation of the lesser orders. Lesser sons, women, poorer relations, the working class - but especially women.

Burning the letters of departed relatives was commonplace at the time. Even the letters of people who by all accounts were the most upstanding individuals you could meet in both their public and private lives were burned upon their death. Don't assume the person deceased did something scandalous just because their surviving family burned their letters.

@GigawingsVideo 5 лет назад

Not a common thing though. As an Indonesian one of our local hero and female right movement from 1800s exchange letters with several of her female friends in Dutch and when she died rather than burning her letters they gather them and send it to my country as a support for female right movement. They never intended to burn her letters after she died.

Loved this video. I do know who Jane Austen was when I first read Mansfield Park, the first book of hers I had ever read and immediately loved her “subtle” ways of criticism. Still my favorite line is “If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow."

@rashkavar 5 лет назад

It's entirely possible that the destruction of the letters was simply an effort to keep her private life private. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've always had a vague discomfort with the idea that if I became significant to history, suddenly messages I sent to family and friends with the implicit understanding that they were only intended to be read by their recipients, would become resources for historians. I'm not trying to suggest it's a legitimate source of historical information, but it's kinda the equivalent to when archaeologists dig up grave sites - weirdly ghoulish and invasive. I mean, odds are I'm not going to become a historically significant figure - most people who do show signs of that by my age - so it's largely irrelevant, but.... *shrug* In my mind it's entirely possible that Jane Austen, or her family, had similar reservations about that sort of prying, and, knowing that she was likely to become historically relevant, decided to ensure that such invasions of her privacy would not occur.

@BigHenFor 5 лет назад

That's his short-sightedness. Twain and Austen came from different worlds, and the audience's expectations of each would have been vastly different. Jane's novels reflect the society she lived in - on the surface genteel, but underneath highly Conservative and judgmental. The latter aspect she was subject to as she came from a lower middle class family. As a female, her course in life would have been very restricted, and she might have chafed against the restrictions and norms of her English society. The fact that whilst alive she felt it necessary to publish her work anonymously, perhaps not to embarrass her family, would support that view. Twain however, was a different dish altogether. Male, independent, and American, he would have had much more freedom in what he could write. If he critique his society, he would not experience anything other than disapproval. So, I try to reserve judgment.

The pen is mightier than the sword, as some might say

@barrettkeller9855 5 лет назад

Then, of course, there is General Douglas MacArthur's "Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons." Isn't it an odd dance where the pen arouses the sword arouses the pen? The pen ultimately seems to always triumph as those brandishing weapons diminish their numbers whereas the ideas in the written word can have a certain immortality. Humanity, you'd think we would learn. So, with that said: "If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."

Their issue seems to be they’d use only one book as a source (hard to tell since they don’t site their sources but that’s what some videos have indicated) and even though big series get Lies episodes they often ignore lots of things people have pointed out but by doing Lies they appear to be more responding to issues they are.

@ButterflyScarlet 5 лет назад

I always hated how people reduced Jane Austen from "Progressive Feminist" to "The One Who Wrote All Those Chick Flicks". Her stories were subversive. At a time when a woman could be thrown in a mental asylum for disagreeing with a man or not wanting kids, she wrote female characters who had their own opinions and goals. Jane Eyre, supposedly the most boring and least compelling heroine, not only leaves the romantic lead because he had imprisoned his wife in the cellar, she also turns down another dude who tried to force her to be with him by pulling the Nice Guy act (or in this case the "I'm a priest and God said you should marry me" act). She only comes back when she and Rochester are on equal footing. In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth full on fucking roasts Darcy to his actual face. They don't get together until he apologizes for being a dick to her and her family. I hate that her contributions to literature are watered down to "trite romance"

One thing I love about Austen's work is not just the social satire but also the way it reacts to the existing literary trends. Austen doesn't resort to too many stock characters; all her characters seem fairly fleshed out as people. She particularly avoids the "paragon heroes" that earlier books like Evelina used. Even her most admirable characters have flaws.

I really like this new trend of showing a picture/portrait of the historical figure at the end of the video. They did that for the Sun Yat Sen series and now in this video too. I hope this becomes a permanent feature.

Thank you for this enlightening look at Jane Austin's life! What an inspirational figure :)

A thought: Not long after The Promised Neverland began, I always thought that Emma was named after the Jane Austen protagonist and Norman was named after Norman Rockwell. Both of them embodied life in a seemingly idyllic world with many comforts and luxuries but with things that are very, very wrong beneath the surface, which also describes the setting of The Promised Neverland. Anybody else a fan of the series and thought that? I never figured who Ray may be named after though.

Thank you for covering Jane Austin. For too long i have tried to talk about her in to friends to just have her dismissed as a "silly romance novelist" It infuriated me to hear this as she was so much more and work so much commentary into her novels. So thank you.

I greatly enjoy all her work and have also read the completed novel Sanditon, as well as the murder mysteries based on her life, Jane and the [Man of the Cloth], for example.

Did someone else though of Alexander Hamilton('s musical) while Jane Austen's story? "Our [girl] saw [her] future drip, dripping down the drain🎶 Put a pencil to [her] temple, connected it to [her] brain And [she] wrote [her] first refrain, a testament to [her] pain. 🎶" "A voice saying, "[Jane] you gotta fend for yourself"🎶 [She] started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf🎶" " Scanning for every book [she] can get [her] hands on🎶" "Why do you write like you're running out of time? 🎶 Why do you write like you're running out of time? 🎶 Every day you write like you're running out of time, Like you're running TIIIIME! 🎶" "And the world is going to know your name! 🎶 What's your name [girl]? 🎶 Jane Austeeen. My name is Jane Austeen 🎶 And there's a million things I haven't done🎶, just you wait just you waiiit 🎶" AMAZING! That's why I love reading! Let's get some more Jane Austen and Hamilton in us =P. ... " I'm burning the memories Burning the letters that might have redeeeemed you🎶." 👀 (last part doesn't fit bzt there are also burned letters X))

@jdzencelowcz 3 года назад

I might've only read / watched the version of her work that had zombies, but the spirit of her work shined through, which was impressive.

@mortarpestle2487 3 года назад

Imagine if she manage to publish all her novels 😍😍 That would be really great.

Thank you for this. My favorite story of all times is Pride and Prejudice. Pity her family destroyed her letters. Whatever else she was, she was brilliant.

@derrickthewhite1 5 лет назад

It should be noted that Austen's works had a reasonable but unspectacular reception in her own time, were little known for 50 years, and then repopularized in the 1870's.

@snowheartsoftflake8036 5 лет назад

I was lucky to have a brit lit teacher in high school and a classical literature loving mother who gave "Pride and Prejudice," and Austin herself the respect it deserves. They still encouraged me to find the comedy in her work (Heck my favorite line from that book is when Elizabeth's dad turns her mom's words around to help Elizabeth win an argument.) but they also spoke of it as an important character study and made us ponder how prejudice plays out in the world the characters live in and comes from both sides of the story. Sadly, I have yet to read any of Austin's other works, although Emma is on my list of books I want to read before I die.

@richardrose2606 2 года назад

I have to disagree with what you said about prejudice. Obviously Elizabeth's problem is with prejudice and Darcy's fault is pride. Through their interactions in the book both learn about their faults and become better and more rounded people. All done within a very entertaining story.

A wonderful telling of our Jane's life. She was a brave woman she said it like it was (as best as an 18th century woman could) she saw hypocrisy and was not to be put off. She even felt that the church was exploiting by demanding tythes from the poor who could barely afford to eat whilst cuddling up to the aristocracy. The taking of common land and closing it from being accessed by the poor for hunting, fishing or growing. You have to ask the question what (if anything) has changed. Jane Austen has so much to teach us and we owe to her to take REAL notice of what she is actually saying. I have been close to tears when I saw a sample of her hand writing in her home in Chawton. I have been so fortunate to walk the streets of Bath, places like Sidney Street, Poultney Bridge and Gay Street.To visit her grave in Winchester Cathedral and place some flowers on the memorial on the Cathedral wall and say this there are thousands who pay homage to her today 202 years after her death. She died at 41 but she will forever be immortal.....
