In hoofdstuk vijf komen Jozien en Yentl even bij, want nu ze op de helft zijn moet de balans worden opgemaakt. Vinden ze het zelf eigenlijk nog wel leuk? Hoe zet je een traditie door, hoe zorg je dat je niet verslapt? Wat is het verschil tussen een ritueel en een traditie en zou Frits van Egters zelf in staat zijn De avonden elke dag te lezen, of zou hij het opgeven? Daarnaast heeft Yentl nog wat belangrijk advies voor Frits. Het manuscript van De avonden en de aantekeningen van Gerard Reve zijn nu te bekijken in het Literatuurmuseum.

Liesbet Stevens (1972) is adjunct-directeur van het Instituut voor de gelijkheid van vrouwen en mannen in ons land. Ze is specialiste seksueel strafrecht. Ze is dus in haar werk bezig met zaken rond verkrachting, prostitutie en zedenschennis. Ze geeft ook les aan de universiteit. We spraken af bij haar thuis in Heverlee bij Leuven. We gingen niet in haar bureau zitten omdat het daar te rommelig lag, zei ze zelf, maar vlak ernaast, aan tafel in de woonkamer. Ze vertelt over de uitwisselingsstudent met wie ze een relatie had en door wie ze verslingerd raakte aan Engelse literatuur. Ze kiest een boek dat ze aan haar kinderen begon voor te lezen, en stiekem zelf uitlas. En het gaat over het boek dat haar man voor haar voorlas toen ze zwanger was. Een gesprek over boeken en lezen, over vergeving en liefde.

Our Recall this Buck series, back in 2020 and 2021, explored the history of money, ranging from the earliest forms of labor IOUs to the modern world of bitcoin and electronically distributed value. We began by focusing on the rise of capitalism, the Bank of England, and how an explosion of liquidity changed everything. We were lucky to do so, just before the Pandemic struck, with Christine Desan of Harvard Law School, who recently published Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism (Oxford University Press, 2014). She is also managing editor of JustMoney.org, a website that explores money as a critical site of governance. Desan's research explores money as a legal and political project. Her approach opens economic orthodoxy to question by widening the focus on money as an instrument, to examine the institutions and agreements through which resources are mobilized and tracked, by means of money. In doing so, she shows that particular forms of money, and the markets within which they circulate, are neither natural or inevitable.

Here is her caption:“After listening to me rant for 45 minutes about Snow White & the Huntsman and what COULD have been done with that fairytale, my hubby finally said, "If you want it done that way, why don't you do it yourself?"So I did.”Books and Movies Mentioned: - Two Wrongs Make a Right (The Wilmot Sisters Series) by Chloe Liese - Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare - Only When It's Us (Bergman Brothers Book 1) by Chloe Liese - Always Only You (Bergman Brothers Book 2) by Chloe Liese - Ever After Always (Bergman Brothers Book 3) by Chloe Liese- Bridgerton: The Duke and I (Bridgertons Book 1) by Julia Quinn - The Shadow Queen (Ravenspire, 1) by CJ Redwine - Emma (2020) - Directed by Autumn de Wilde - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice (1995 - BBC) - Sense and Sensibility (1995) - Directed by Ang Lee - The Cutting Edge (1992) - Directed by Paul Michael Glaser - Star Trek VII: Generations - Directed by David Carson - Tron (1982) - Directed by Steven Lisberg - X-Men (2000) - Directed by Bryan Singer- Rosaline (2022) - Directed Karen Maine Music from: https://filmmusic.io ‘Friendly day' by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Notes:Fable and the Verbivore reference an intimate scene in The Duke and I that reads like a rape, but where the consequences of that situation aren't trully confronted and addressed. The TV series does a slightly better job of showing that this is a disturbing breach of trust, but the Verbivore mentions that she feels they could have gone farther to have the character Daphne understand and grapple with the impact her choice had on her partner Simon and have them work through it together. Here are a few articles that discuss some of this further:- Insider Article “The controversial rape scene in 'Bridgerton' started a 'really great conversation around consent,' says show's intimacy coordinator”- Vox Article “Bridgerton has a rape scene, but it's not treated like one” - NWA Center for “Why We Need to Talk About Sexual Assault & Bridgerton”The Verbivore mentions that season 3 of Bridgerton will be focusing on Penelope and Colin's story. As of this episode, they are still in production and a release date has not yet been given. But, a prequel that focuses on Queen Charlotte's original love story is releasing May 4th, 2023 on Netflix. Here are a few videos and articles we referenced for this conversation:- CBS Mornings Interview with Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers talk story behind “Bridgerton"- The Take YouTube Video “Bridgerton is a Fan Fiction About Today”- The Take YouTube Video “Why Bridgerton Season 2 Works - Secrets of the Enemies-to-Lovers Trope”- Deadline - Pilot Script of Season 1, Episode 1: “Diamond of the First Water” Books and TV Series Mentioned:- Bridgerton: The Duke and I (Bridgertons Book 1) by Julia Quinn - The Viscount Who Loved Me: Bridgerton (Bridgertons Book 2) by Julia Quinn - An Offer From a Gentleman: Bridgerton (Bridgertons Book 3) by Julia Quinn - Romancing Mister Bridgerton: Penelope & Colin's Story (Bridgertons Book 4) by Julia Quinn - To Sir Phillip, With Love: Bridgerton (Bridgertons Book 5) by Julia Quinn - Bridgerton Season 1 and 2 (Netflix) - Shondaland, Written by Chris Van Dusen and Others (Writers Room)- Persuasion by Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Music from: https://filmmusic.io ‘Friendly day' by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Zolang er al verhalen zijn, worden ze herverteld, bewerkt en aangepast. Met elk nieuw medium worde oude verhalen opnieuw verteld en met elke nieuwe cultuur worden verhalen vertaald en aangepast. Toch is de hendendaagse populaire cultuur nadrukkelijk een plek van hervertellen: prequels, sequels, franchises, de musical, de film, de serie, de reboot en cinematic universes - er is een hervertellingsindustrie ontstaan die herkauwt en bepaalt welke versies van de verhalen in de canon passen en drie vrije bewerkingen met copyrightclaims bedreigt. Omdat vermaak een industrie is en industrie grote investeringen en grote wisten nodig heeft, zijn hervertellingen een veilige keuze die niettemin volledig ingedekt moet worden, betoogt Lindsay Ellis, video-essayiste en schrijfster. Films zijn vaak te duur om te falen, dus worden er oude publiekslievelingen van stal gehaald en in een markt gezet, afgestemd op een rendabele doelgroep. Zijn hervertellingen in essentie altijd heroriëntaties op een ander publiek? Zouden we meer nieuwe verhalen moeten hebben, bijvoorbeeld met diversiteitsquota's, of is trouw blijven aan de fundamentele verhalen van onze cultuur juist belangrijk? Hoe blijven oude verhalen domineren, ook al zijn ze soms problematisch? Te gast is Lieke, mediëvist, net als in aflevering 4 over de vrouwelijke held en aflevering 11 over de Female Gaze. https://youtu.be/rhhLhb-acUI Verwijzingen Intro Lindsay Ellis. “That Time Disney Remade Beauty and the Beast.” 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpUx9DnQUkA.

In this episode of the Letter from Ireland podcast we take a literary turn! First off we have a look at that literary masterpiece of Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice - having fun with some of the Irish versions of the character's surnames. Then, we trace our way from County Down to Yorkshire in England to visit one of the outstanding literary families of modern times - and share more on their surprising Irish origins.

I've been out of the office for a while, so instead of doing a new interview this week, I wanted to share an episode from one of my favorite bookish podcasts, The Your Favorite Book podcast. If that title sounds familiar, it's because I had the host Malavika Praseed as a guest on my podcast back in episode 29, when we talked about The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. Malavika is, quite honestly, a brilliant book critic and a thoughtful reader, not to mention a truly funny human being. Although our podcasts have a similar premise, she often takes a more critical and even academic approach to the books. I learn something new with each episode I listen to. When Malavika invited me onto her podcast, we did a deep dive into my all time favorite, Howard's End. I have both highly personal and critical reasons for loving it so much. And I thought you might enjoy listening to my side of the story. The E.M. Forster classic is both my comfort read and my critical favorite and is, in my opinion, the Best Book Ever. Please enjoy this spotlight episode of the Your Favorite Book podcast, and I will be back with a new episode next week.

Every now and then we like to throw in a curveball episode to mix things up, so this week we head to the brilliant Phlox Books In Leyton to chat to owner, Aimée Madill, about music and literature.What Aimée doesn't know about books ain't worth knowing! She studied at Trinity in Dublin and prior to opening Phlox, spent time working at the famous Shakespeare & Co in Paris. Her ability to speed read is mind blowing and Aimée exudes enthusiasm and passion for all kinds of literary genres.Seb and Verity chat to Aimée about the use of music and musicians in literature, both good and bad and where music and literature intersect. They also discuss musician's autobiographies, great lyricists vs absurd lyrics, Aimée's childhood music tastes and being harassed by cats in Cats. Aimée also chats about a brief dalliance with the tin whistle, hurling and the Harlem Renaissance. There are some great recommendations of books/genres to try for those short rehearsal breaks/people heading back into orchestra pits and also longer reads for anyone heading off on long journeys again.....what a wonderful thought! See below for an extensive reading list!This episode wonders off on many tangents and Seb and Verity display their somewhat embarrassing grasp on French history but it's packed with interesting info and books to suit every taste!Check out more about Phlox Books on their website https://www.phloxbooks.com/ Follow Phlox and keep up to date with their frequent events and book recommendations on socials: https://www.instagram.com/phloxbooks/https://www.twitter.com/PhloxBooks/ and https://m.facebook.com/phloxbooks/RECOMMENDED READING LISTMusic/Musicians in literature:Carson McCullers - The Heart is a Lonely HunterRalph Ellison - The Invisible ManTom Barbash - The Dakota WintersKevin Barry - BeatleboneAnn Patchett - Bel CantoZadie Smith - Swing TimeJane Austen - Pride and PrejudiceIan McEwan - On Chesil BeachJulian Barnes - The Noise Of TimeMichael Ondaatje - Coming Through SlaughterJeffrey Eungenides - The Virgin SuicidesChildren's Musical Books:David Litchfield - The Bear and The Piano Jessica Courtney-Tickle - The Story Orchestra series Other books referenced in this episode:Morrissey - AutobiographyChinua Achebe - Things Fall ApartAndré Aciman - Call Me by Your NameMikhail Bulgakov - The Master and MargaritaGerard Way - The Umbrella AcademyOttessa Moshfegh - My Year of Rest and Relaxation George Saunders - Lincoln in the BardoPushkin Vertigo Series - Pushkin PressAlso referenced:Little Nas X - Call Me by Your Name https://open.spotify.com/track/67BtfxlNbhBmCDR2L2l8qd?si=N46J2pYwTTq_CmdYVDw1Hw&dl_branch=1Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta https://open.spotify.com/track/0N3W5peJUQtI4eyR6GJT5O?si=pRoBbWMlRBezMwP68vbJMg&dl_branch=1Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil https://open.spotify.com/track/75zMKn5euxQdlkZgu4P42J?si=ZCvbdexuS8ywD2M-W9VA2g&dl_branch=1THREE IN A BAR ON THE SOCIALSYou can follow Three In a Bar on Instagram @threeinabarpodhttps://www.instagram.com/threeinabarpod/We are on Twitter @threeinabarpod https://www.twitter.com/threeinabarpodEMAIL US!Anything you'd like to share with us?

It's February, and that means Valentine's Day. We think there's no better way to celebrate than a month-long, two-part look at Jane Austen's wannabe-Cupid herself, Emma Woodhouse! In Part 1, we're discussing: Jane Austen's original 1815 novel The 1972 miniseries, directed by John Glenister, written by Denis Constanduros, and starring Doran Godwin and John Carson The 1996 theatrical movie, written and directed by Douglas McGrath, and starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette, Ewan McGregor, and Jeremy Northam The 1996 TV movie, directed by Diarmuid Lawrence, written by Andrew Davies, and starring Kate Beckinsale, Mark Strong, Samantha Morton, and Olivia Williams The 2009 miniseries, directed by Jim O'Hanlon, written by Sandy Welch, and starring Romola Garai, Jonny Lee Miller, and Michael Gambon The 2020 theatrical movie, directed by Autumn de Wilde, written by Eleanor Catton, and starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Johnny Flynn, and Bill Nighy In Part 2, we'll be taking a look at some of the less traditional adaptations (and yes, that means Clueless). Footnotes: Our previous looks at Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) and Sense and Sensibility The Librivox dramatic reading of Emma (starring Arielle Lipshaw as Miss Bates) Emma: A BabyLit Book by Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver Our two-part look at Jane Eyre (Part 1 and Part 2) Maddy Prior and Steeleye Span Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit, A Larum, and Song One (2014) Miranda Hart and Miranda (2009–2015) Green Wing (2004–2007) You can follow Adapt or Perish on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and you can find us and all of our show notes online at adaptorperishcast.com.

We're discussing one of Hallmark's takes on the works of Jane Austen - Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe! Hannah has plenty to say about terrible restaurant names and free child labour, while Naomi pokes holes in this adaptation attempt. Will we ever get to see Emma and Eggnog?

This week on StoryWeb: Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. For my mother, Bonnie Burrows, in honor of her birthday “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” There are few opening lines to novels as famous as this one. The novel in question is, of course, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Published in 1813, the novel spins out from this opening line. Indeed, Pride and Prejudice is a classic – maybe the classic – example of a “marriage plot” novel. This type of novel drives forward to marriage, a wedding (or two!) by novel’s end. It will seem in a marriage plot novel (or marriage plot film) that the star-crossed lovers will never find, meet, and/or reconcile with each other – but inevitably they do, and by definition, they marry. (For a thoughtful take on the marriage plot, see Adelle Waldman’s New Yorker article, “Why the Marriage Plot Need Never Get Old.”) While Austen didn’t invent the marriage plot, she is perhaps the greatest creator of novels in this genre. The fun of Jane Austen is in seeing the challenges she subjects her characters to, what twists and turns they’ll confront as they make their way to the altar. In this case, will Elizabeth marry Collins, or will she fall for that haughty, opinionated Darcy? And if you cast your vote for Darcy, how on earth will Austen ever get these two headstrong characters together at the same time? Though Austen’s novels were first published anonymously and though they did not bring her fame in her lifetime, she is practically a cottage industry now. More than a cottage industry – more like an industry giant. She is an institution, and a money-making one at that. One of the most beloved novels in the English language, Pride and Prejudice has sold over 20 million copies, and Austen’s five other major novels are still read and enjoyed by many as well. There have been too many film and television adaptations to count (though Colin Firth’s portrayal of Darcy is so good that we may as well stop, don’t you think?). There have been inventive rewrites, such as Helen Fielding’s 1996 novel, Bridget Jones’s Diary (my favorite of the modern takes on Pride and Prejudice), and even the 2009 parody, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. What are your favorite scenes from Pride and Prejudice? What moments stand out to you? Of course, the scene where Elizabeth reads Darcy’s letter is at the heart of the novel, as Elizabeth realizes she must confront both her pride and her prejudice. At the end of this podcast, I’ll read one of my other favorite moments, this one near the novel’s opening as Elizabeth races across fields that are wet and dirty after a downpour, determined to tend to her ailing sister. It is the perfect introduction to this delightfully spirited heroine. She’s been with us for over two hundred years, but she still leaps off the page and seems every bit as bold, new, and fresh as she must have seemed when Austen created her. Ready to meet or reacquaint yourself with Elizabeth Bennet? You can read the novel for free online – but of course, this is one book you’ll just want to curl up with in hard copy with a cup of tea at your side. If you need help keeping track of the novel’s many characters and their intricate relationships with each other, you might consult a diagram of their relationships or a family tree. If you want to delve a little deeper into all things Austen, visit Jane Austen’s House Museum, which bills itself as the “heart of Hampshire,” or the Jane Austen Centre in Bath. And if you’re really a devoted fan, you might want to travel to Bath for the annual ten-day Jane Austen Festival held each September. The festival features Regency reenactors, “theatre, music, food, a ball, workshops, readings, dances and the famous Regency Promenade.” You’ll also find Austen resources at the Jane Austen Society of North America and the Jane Austen Society of the United Kingdom. For links to all these resources, visit thestoryweb.com/austen. Listen now as I read Chapter Seven from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Bennet's property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two thousand a year, which, unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed, in default of heirs male, on a distant relation; and their mother's fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply the deficiency of his. Her father had been an attorney in Meryton, and had left her four thousand pounds. She had a sister married to a Mr. Phillips, who had been a clerk to their father and succeeded him in the business, and a brother settled in London in a respectable line of trade. The village of Longbourn was only one mile from Meryton; a most convenient distance for the young ladies, who were usually tempted thither three or four times a week, to pay their duty to their aunt and to a milliner's shop just over the way. The two youngest of the family, Catherine and Lydia, were particularly frequent in these attentions; their minds were more vacant than their sisters', and when nothing better offered, a walk to Meryton was necessary to amuse their morning hours and furnish conversation for the evening; and however bare of news the country in general might be, they always contrived to learn some from their aunt. At present, indeed, they were well supplied both with news and happiness by the recent arrival of a militia regiment in the neighbourhood; it was to remain the whole winter, and Meryton was the headquarters. Their visits to Mrs. Phillips were now productive of the most interesting intelligence. Every day added something to their knowledge of the officers' names and connections. Their lodgings were not long a secret, and at length they began to know the officers themselves. Mr. Phillips visited them all, and this opened to his nieces a store of felicity unknown before. They could talk of nothing but officers; and Mr. Bingley's large fortune, the mention of which gave animation to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the regimentals of an ensign. After listening one morning to their effusions on this subject, Mr. Bennet coolly observed: "From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced." Catherine was disconcerted, and made no answer; but Lydia, with perfect indifference, continued to express her admiration of Captain Carter, and her hope of seeing him in the course of the day, as he was going the next morning to London. "I am astonished, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "that you should be so ready to think your own children silly. If I wished to think slightingly of anybody's children, it should not be of my own, however." "If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it." "Yes—but as it happens, they are all of them very clever." "This is the only point, I flatter myself, on which we do not agree. I had hoped that our sentiments coincided in every particular, but I must so far differ from you as to think our two youngest daughters uncommonly foolish." "My dear Mr. Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of their father and mother. When they get to our age, I dare say they will not think about officers any more than we do. I remember the time when I liked a red coat myself very well—and, indeed, so I do still at my heart; and if a smart young colonel, with five or six thousand a year, should want one of my girls I shall not say nay to him; and I thought Colonel Forster looked very becoming the other night at Sir William's in his regimentals." "Mamma," cried Lydia, "my aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain Carter do not go so often to Miss Watson's as they did when they first came; she sees them now very often standing in Clarke's library." Mrs. Bennet was prevented replying by the entrance of the footman with a note for Miss Bennet; it came from Netherfield, and the servant waited for an answer. Mrs. Bennet's eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was eagerly calling out, while her daughter read, "Well, Jane, who is it from? What is it about? What does he say? Well, Jane, make haste and tell us; make haste, my love." "It is from Miss Bingley," said Jane, and then read it aloud. "MY DEAR FRIEND,— "If you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with Louisa and me, we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives, for a whole day's tete-a-tete between two women can never end without a quarrel. Come as soon as you can on receipt of this. My brother and the gentlemen are to dine with the officers.—Yours ever, "CAROLINE BINGLEY" "With the officers!" cried Lydia. "I wonder my aunt did not tell us of that." "Dining out," said Mrs. Bennet, "that is very unlucky." "Can I have the carriage?" said Jane. "No, my dear, you had better go on horseback, because it seems likely to rain; and then you must stay all night." "That would be a good scheme," said Elizabeth, "if you were sure that they would not offer to send her home." "Oh! but the gentlemen will have Mr. Bingley's chaise to go to Meryton, and the Hursts have no horses to theirs." "I had much rather go in the coach." "But, my dear, your father cannot spare the horses, I am sure. They are wanted in the farm, Mr. Bennet, are they not?" "They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them." "But if you have got them to-day," said Elizabeth, "my mother's purpose will be answered." She did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses were engaged. Jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback, and her mother attended her to the door with many cheerful prognostics of a bad day. Her hopes were answered; Jane had not been gone long before it rained hard. Her sisters were uneasy for her, but her mother was delighted. The rain continued the whole evening without intermission; Jane certainly could not come back. "This was a lucky idea of mine, indeed!" said Mrs. Bennet more than once, as if the credit of making it rain were all her own. Till the next morning, however, she was not aware of all the felicity of her contrivance. Breakfast was scarcely over when a servant from Netherfield brought the following note for Elizabeth: "MY DEAREST LIZZY,— "I find myself very unwell this morning, which, I suppose, is to be imputed to my getting wet through yesterday. My kind friends will not hear of my returning till I am better. They insist also on my seeing Mr. Jones—therefore do not be alarmed if you should hear of his having been to me—and, excepting a sore throat and headache, there is not much the matter with me.—Yours, etc." "Well, my dear," said Mr. Bennet, when Elizabeth had read the note aloud, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness—if she should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders." "Oh! I am not afraid of her dying. People do not die of little trifling colds. She will be taken good care of. As long as she stays there, it is all very well. I would go and see her if I could have the carriage." Elizabeth, feeling really anxious, was determined to go to her, though the carriage was not to be had; and as she was no horsewoman, walking was her only alternative. She declared her resolution. "How can you be so silly," cried her mother, "as to think of such a thing, in all this dirt! You will not be fit to be seen when you get there." "I shall be very fit to see Jane—which is all I want." "Is this a hint to me, Lizzy," said her father, "to send for the horses?" "No, indeed, I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing when one has a motive; only three miles. I shall be back by dinner." "I admire the activity of your benevolence," observed Mary, "but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required." "We will go as far as Meryton with you," said Catherine and Lydia. Elizabeth accepted their company, and the three young ladies set off together. "If we make haste," said Lydia, as they walked along, "perhaps we may see something of Captain Carter before he goes." In Meryton they parted; the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one of the officers' wives, and Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise. She was shown into the breakfast-parlour, where all but Jane were assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise. That she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it. She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there was good humour and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr. Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was thinking only of his breakfast. Her inquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered. Miss Bennet had slept ill, and though up, was very feverish, and not well enough to leave her room. Elizabeth was glad to be taken to her immediately; and Jane, who had only been withheld by the fear of giving alarm or inconvenience from expressing in her note how much she longed for such a visit, was delighted at her entrance. She was not equal, however, to much conversation, and when Miss Bingley left them together, could attempt little besides expressions of gratitude for the extraordinary kindness she was treated with. Elizabeth silently attended her. When breakfast was over they were joined by the sisters; and Elizabeth began to like them herself, when she saw how much affection and solicitude they showed for Jane. The apothecary came, and having examined his patient, said, as might be supposed, that she had caught a violent cold, and that they must endeavour to get the better of it; advised her to return to bed, and promised her some draughts. The advice was followed readily, for the feverish symptoms increased, and her head ached acutely. Elizabeth did not quit her room for a moment; nor were the other ladies often absent; the gentlemen being out, they had, in fact, nothing to do elsewhere. When the clock struck three, Elizabeth felt that she must go, and very unwillingly said so. Miss Bingley offered her the carriage, and she only wanted a little pressing to accept it, when Jane testified such concern in parting with her, that Miss Bingley was obliged to convert the offer of the chaise to an invitation to remain at Netherfield for the present. Elizabeth most thankfully consented, and a servant was dispatched to Longbourn to acquaint the family with her stay and bring back a supply of clothes.

This month in a very special edition, we’re celebrating that most English of novelists Jane Austen. It’s two hundred years this month since the publication of Pride and Prejudice and we’ve invited bestselling British novelist and Jane Austen aficionado PD James, along with Anglo-Pakistani writer Moni Mohsin, also a great Austen fan and from Australia Susannah Fullerton, President of the Australian Jane Austen Society, all here to share with us their passion for this much loved classic English novel. We’ll also be hearing from other writers from around the world – AS Byatt, Colm Toibin, Nii Parkes, Kamila Shamsie, to name a few, why the razor-sharp wit of Elizabeth Bennet and the cool hauteur of the gorgeous Mr Darcy are still drawing in more readers than ever across the globe in the twenty-first century. Susannah Fullerton is the author of Happily Ever After: Celebrating Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Image: Jane Austen, Credit: Hulton Archive/Getty Images
