Comedian, actor and improviser Rachel Parris discusses why people can be so wrong about Jane Austen, the knotty complexities of female friendship and her love for crime fiction. Rachel is officially a member of the British comedy elite – she has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and Mock the Week, and was BAFTA-nominated for her satirical sketches on BBC's The Mash Report, which have garnered over 100 million views online.

On the stage, she is a co-founder of Austentatious – a Jane Austen themed improv comedy show in the West End. Her debut novel, Introducing Mrs Collins, is a tale of love, loss, and second chances, for anyone who's wondered if there's more to the sensible character we met in Pride and Prejudice. Rachel's book choices are: **Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver **Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen **The Names by Florence Knapp **My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante **The Lost by Claire McGowan Vick Hope, multi-award winning TV and BBC Radio 1 presenter, author and journalist, is the host of season eight of the Women's Prize's Bookshelfie Podcast.

Spirit's Anointing…For God's Glory? In this episode of Centering, hosts Yulee Lee and Daniel Lee explore the unlikely convergence of the biblical story of Samson, fermentation of kimchi, and iconic Jane Austen characters. The topic, Spirit's Anointing…For God's glory? highlights the dangers of conflating giftedness with divine favor, the importance of character over charisma, and the critical need for communal discernment and accountability structures, emphasizing that the anointing of the Spirit is made apparent through the evidence of the fruits of the Spirit. They draw on theological insights, personal anecdotes, and historical examples to emphasize the potential pitfalls of toxic ministry. The episode underscores the necessity for spiritual leaders to embody Christ-like humility and to engage in practices that promote healthy, sustainable, and God-centered leadership. 00:00 Introduction to Toxic Ministry 01:16 Recap of Previous Episode 01:54 The Dangers of Public Figures and Parasocial Relationships 04:36 The Misuse of Spiritual Anointing 07:44 The Importance of Communal Discernment 08:56 Character vs. Charisma in Leadership 14:37 The Role of Wisdom and Maturity 16:07 Distinguishing True Movements of God 18:06 White Christian Nationalism and NAR 20:34 The Importance of Accountability in Leadership 24:36 Avoiding Desperation in Ministry 26:37 The Dangers of Familiarity with Holy Things 29:53 Final Thoughts and Reflections The Violent Take It by Force by Matthew D.

Did you know that Elizabethan Londoners were good kissers? That medieval drinkers used beer to fight off the flames of a raging inferno? And that Jane Austen doesn't paint an entirely accurate picture of the early 19th century? These are just some of the facts served up in Ian Mortimer's new book, Mortimer's A to Zs of English History. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Ian takes us on an immersive tour of the nation in four periods: the 14th century, the Elizabethan age, the Restoration and the Regency.

Jane Austen is one of the most enduring novelists of all time. But what do we know about the woman behind the stories? To celebrate Austen's 250th birthday, we're revisiting Eleanor Wachtel's conversation with Carol Shields about her 2001 biography, Jane Austen: A Life.

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 22, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :Dhttps://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/joinSummary:In spite of the efforts of the Steele girls, the Dashwoods are reluctant to become their friends. Elanor does find her agreeable enough for half an hour, but no more, as the girl is uneducated and illiterate. One day while walking back to the cottage, Lucy asks Elanor if she knows Edward's mother. Elanor finds the question strange, and after some little conversation, Lucy intimates that she knows Edward very well, but has never met his mother. Elanor is shocked by this revelation and Lucy goes on to reveal, because she apparently trusts Elanor, that she and Edward have been engaged for several years, and that she keeps a picture of him on her person, and that the ring embossed with a lock of hair contains the hair of Lucy. Elanor is shocked, and though she tries to remain polite, is very glad once Lucy leaves to go back to Barton Park.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

This week the Government set out its strategy to deal with violence against women and girls. This makes up nearly 20% of all recorded crime in England and Wales. Over the last year alone, one in every eight women was a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking, according to Home Office figures. Educating boys on misogyny is a key aim of the strategy and figures show that nearly one in five boys aged 13 to 15 are said to hold a positive view of the self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate, according to a YouGov poll.

Good morning. ‘Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions.' So says Jane Austen of Fanny Price in Mansfield Park. But she could equally have said it of herself. Jane Austen's 250th birthday this week is being widely celebrated on this network. She was swathed in the practice of faith: her father and two of her brothers were ordained, and two visits to church on Sunday were her lifelong pattern. She certainly knew the shortcomings of religion: parodying the servility and self-importance of the parson Mr Collins, she says he ‘was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society.' Her gift is to turn the interactions of family and community, and especially the elaborate dance and fragility of finding a marriage partner, into a whole moral universe. Her characters transcend their surroundings. One, Mr Bennet, says laconically, ‘For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?' Another, Mr Knightley, says poignantly to Emma Woodhouse, ‘If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.' It's a truth universally acknowledged that it's never been clear what it actually means to be a Christian. Some insist on adherence to specific doctrines. Others on obedience to identifiable moral codes. Others point to formation in a traditional culture. A woman of her time, Jane Austen's participation in worship and devotion was socially conventional. But she has her own answers to this perennial question. If she were to identify a favourite parable, my guess is she'd choose the story of the two sons, one of whom refused his father's request to go into the vineyard, but did; while his brother said, ‘I will,' but didn't. For Austen, Christianity's about actions not words. ‘Christian' is more of a verb than a noun. The many suitors are sifted out not by their protestations of love, but by their true character. Of Fanny Price, we're told, ‘She made herself indispensable to those she loved.' Which connects Jane Austen in a significant way to Christmas. For the Christmas story's not about what God says. It's about what God does. In Northanger Abbey, Isabella Thorpe exclaims, ‘There's nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves. It's not my nature.' Coming in person as a vulnerable baby is communicating by action rather than by word. Maybe Jane Austen knew exactly what she thought being a Christian meant. It meant not loving by halves. Perhaps she's more of a theologian than she's usually given credit for.
Pastellige Farben, liebliche Blümchen: Die übliche Gestaltung von Jane Austens Büchern signalisiert vor allem eines, nämlich Kitsch.

Michael Gove and Madeline Grant confront the horror of the Bondi Beach massacre and ask why anti-Semitic violence now provokes despair rather than shock. As Jewish communities are once again targeted on holy days, they examine the roots of Islamist ideology and the failure of political leaders to name it. Why has anti-Semitism metastasised across the radical left, the Islamist world, and the far right – and why does the West seem so reluctant to grapple with its causes?Then, on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, Michael and Maddie ask why Austen is endlessly repurposed, politicised and rewritten by modern adaptors? Was she an abolitionist, a moralist, or something far subtler – and why do her novels continue to resist ideological shoehorning two centuries on?And finally: what makes the perfect whodunit? From Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers to Midsomer Murders and modern television crime, the pair explore puzzles, red herrings, atmosphere – and why readers feel cheated when justice doesn't quite add up.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.To submit your urgent questions to Michael and Maddie, visit spectator.co.uk/quiteright.

We talk all things Jane Austen in celebration of the 250th anniversary of her birth. First, Iowa City-based artist Sonja Strathearn began making Regency-era attire three years ago to attend The Jane Austen Fest and the obsession has only grown from there. Strathearn invites us into her closet to show off her Regency attire. Then, Nebbe speaks with author Curtis Sittenfeld, an Austen fan and the author of the 'Pride & Prejudice' reimagining, 'Eligible.' Finally, musicologist Marian Wilson Kimber talks about Austen's musical inclinations, the pieces in her playbook and the ways music influenced her books.

Del “Apolo y Dafne” de Garcilaso de la Vega al “Lolita” de Vladímir Nabokov, pasando por “Orgullo y Prejuicio” de Jane Austen o “Romeo y Julieta” de William Shakespeare: los amores desiguales, con diferencia de edad, de poder, de estatus, o de clase social llevan siglos protagonizando la literatura. Amores en los que es difícil diferenciar el cuidado de la vigilancia, las atenciones del control, o los regalos del chantaje.Vuelve nuestro monográfico de literatura “Puro Cuento”, con Marta Jiménez Serrano, para hablar de amantes tóxicos y sugar daddies de libro. Lo hacemos con dos de las autoras del año: Lucía Solla Sobral y “Comerás flores” y Bárbara Arena, que acaba de publicar “Un adiós”.

The Miss Steele's are apparently some relations of Mrs Jennings, and everyone is thus forced to be very welcoming. The girls however appear to be fantastic guests, doting dutifully on the Middleton children. When the Dashwood's arrive at the Park, they note that the youngest of the Steele's, Lucy, is very pretty, and that the eldest, seems very noble. One of the Middleton children gets hurt, and Lady Middleton takes her children away to calm them and leaves the Steeles and the Dashwoods alone. The Steeles go to compliment the Middleton family, and Marianne calls upon Elanor to play along, as Marianne is certain that she cannot lie. The eldest Steele girl seems to be very direct, and her sister, Lucy tries to cover up her sister's mistakes in politeness. The eldest Steele girl talks about the lack of beautiful men in the area, and the Dashwoods are very put off by this talk. The Steele's seem to want to get better acquainted with the Dashwoods, to the Dashwoods' dislike…The Steele's talk of Marianne's engagement to Willoughby, and it comes out that Sir John had mentioned the relationship between Edward Ferrars and Elanor. While initially vexed, when she finds out that the Steele's know Edward, Elanor tries to find out what they know about it. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

Virginie Girod raconte le destin de Jane Austen, écrivaine de l'amour et du mariage, dont les livres figurent toujours, deux siècles après sa mort, en bonne place dans nos bibliothèques.Issue de gentry, la petite noblesse anglaise, Jane Austen (1775-1817) se distingue des femmes de son milieu et de son temps par son refus de contracter un mariage sans amour. L'écrivaine retranscrit sa vision du mariage dans les nombreux romans qu'elle rédige. Elizabeth Bennet, l'héroïne d'Orgueil et préjugés, ne privilégie-t-elle pas, tout comme sa créatrice, les sentiments à la raison ? Mais dans la réalité, Jane Austen ne rencontre pas l'équivalent du fameux Darcy, l'époux fictif d'Elizabeth Bennet, et fera le choix du célibat.

The award-winning actress Emma Thompson takes questions on Sense and Sensibility in this special episode of Bookclub to mark the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth. Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen's first novel published in 1811 when she was thirty-five years old. The book follows the Dashwood sisters as they navigate their way through love and and threat of its loss.

Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment. Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her screen adaptation of the 1995 film, of the same name, in which she played Elinor Dashwood. The film also starred Kate Winslet as Marianne Dashwood, Hugh Grant as Edward Ferrars, Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, and Greg Wise as John Willoughby.
