Jane Austen And Laurence Sterne
Material from austen's writings which may indicate she read Sterne's works.
http://www.mirror.org/ken.roberts/austen.sterne.html

Extractions: Jane Austen and Laurence Sterne For some time I have wondered whether Jane Austen had read Laurence Sterne's "Tristram Shandy". Both authors display great wit and honesty in their depiction of characters. "Tristram Shandy" slightly addresses the duties of clergy, a subject which interested Jane Austen. She certainly read "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy". She might also have read Sterne's "Sermons of Mr. Yorick". "Tristram Shandy" was such a notorious book that I thought perhaps Jane Austen had avoided it. She was not one to honour the merely notorious. Tristram Shandy is not "merely notorious" of course, but did Jane Austen think so? I recently ran across a reference to "Tristram Shandy" in one of Jane Austen's letters. In her letter of September 14, 1804 to her sister Cassandra, Jane Austen is describing the household arrangements during the family's visit to Lyme. She says: [character in "Sir Charles Grandison"]

Jane Austen's Writings -- Poems On Jane Austen
An online collection of mostly light and satirical verse dealing with jane austen and her works, including a selection of limericks.
http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/othpoems.html

Extractions: Return to Jane Austen's Writings Thanks to the folks on AUSTEN-L for pointing out some of these poems. ( Poems by Jane Austen are also available.) Jane Austen's eldest brother James Austen wrote this poem soon after the appearance of her first-published work, Sense and Sensibility , when the knowledge of Jane Austen's authorship of the novel was still confined to her family. He pretended that it was written by an unknown admirer. On such Subjects, no Wonder that she should write well
Jane Austen Pride And Prejudice
A fan comments on her favorite movie, with pictures from the film, a survey, and other related information and links.
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/7261/index.html

Extractions: Welcome to my homepage! This page is devoted to all things Jane Austen. She is my favourite author, and adaptations of her works are my favourite movies. One of my all-time-favourites is the 1995 BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice", starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. Colin Firth as Mr Darcy For those who don't know, it's a 6-part mini-series produced by Sue Birtwistle and with a fantastic screenplay by Andrew Davies. It's definitely one of the best things I've ever seen, and this opinion hasn't changed after at least 100 viewings! Reasons why Pride and Prejudice is the best movie/TV series of all time: 1) No matter how much you watch it, there is always new depth and interest to be found. 2) All aspects of the production don't just stop at the movie. You can go deeper into everything - the themes, the society of the time, the costumes....everything! 3) The casting and acting of the production is brilliant. Every actor contributes to the humour or overall effectiveness of the movie. Even annoying Mary Bennet is great! 4) Mr Darcy is gorgeous, especially when played by Colin Firth!!! ;-)

List Of Examples Of Singular "their" Etc. From Jane Austen's Writings
A discussion of jane austen's use of they/their as genderless pronouns.
http://www.crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/austhlis.html

Extractions: Go to List of examples of singular "their" etc. from the OED and elsewhere ... Statistics The following examples were mainly turned up in a fairly unsophisticated search by myself ( Henry Churchyard churchh@crossmyt.com ), using the Jane Austen e-texts which are freely available on-line over the Internet (not the official Oxford University e-texts); the search patterns were basically the morphemes "any", "each", "every", "no", "one", and "who(m)", found preceding "their" or "themselves" within the same orthographic sentence; and the morpheme "body" found preceding any of the "they" words within the same orthographic sentence. A few additional examples come from Jespersen . I have not included some examples where there is not a real choice between "their" and "his" (i.e. it would be impossible, even for the most rigid followers of the 19th century tradition of the prescriptive "generic masculine", to substitute "he/him/his" in place of "they/them/their"); a typical example is Mr. Knightley's "He had used every body ill and they are all delighted to forgive him", from Emma In the listing below, the examples are arranged by novel (the six novels are alphabetized by title), and then by relative order of occurrence within each novel. Examples from other writings follow those from the novels. I make no claim that these lists are exhaustive.

What Price Love?
A fullscale romantic musical comedy by Alan Weitzman, based upon jane austen's best-selling masterpiece 'Pride and Prejudice', is introduced here.
http://hometown.aol.com/whatpricelove/

Extractions: What Price Love? This page joyfully introduces a new and faithful musical adaptation of Jane Austen's witty romantic comedy of manners, , which has become a worldwide best-seller since its initial publication in 1813. Set in 1811, in the English countryside, What Price Love? is a fable of fulfillment. Young women want husbands - rich husbands - and young men want women. Outspoken Elizabeth Bennett and arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy dislike each other intensely. As they match wits, they overcome their youthful pride and personal prejudices, but family and friends confound the progress of love as they lust, lie, please, and prey upon each other. They all entertain and entice for 2-1/2 hours in 22 songs and get precisely what they deserve. The score is comprised of contemporary music orchestrated to recall romantic-period waltzes, ballads, character pieces, and folk and English music-hall songs, as well as a beguine, a galop, and a fandango. As Mrs. Bennet says early in Act I

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Jane Austen (1775-1817) English writer, who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime, she published her works anonymously. The most urgent preoccupation of her young, well-bred heroines is courtship, and finally marriage in the world dominated by men. Austen herself never married. Her best-known books include PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1813) and EMMA (1816). Virginia Woolf called her "the most perfect artist among women." "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." (from Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire. She was mostly tutored at home, and irregularly at school. Her parents were avid readers and she received a broader education than many women of her time. Her favorite poet was Cowper. On her father's retirement, the family sold off everything, including Jane's piano, and moved to Bath. Austen started to write for family amusement as a child. Her earliest-known writings date from about 1787. Very shy about her writing, she wrote on small pieces of paper that she slipped under the desk plotter if anyone came into the room. In her letters she observed the daily life of her family and fiends in an intimate and gossipy manner: "James danced with Alethea, and cut up the turkey last night with great perseverance. You say nothing of the silk stockings; I flatter myself, therefore, that Charles has not purchased any, as I cannot very well afford to pay for them; all my money is spent in buying white gloves and pink persian."
