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.

Jane Austen was born in the 16th of December, 1775, which means this month marks her 250th birthday.

She glimpsed success, with 4 books becoming wildly popular in her lifetime. But she died tragically young, depriving the world of her talent. Her stories have been adapted and re imagined countless times. And in this, Jane's 250th year, she continues to be a mainstay in pop culture.

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. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. 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. This episode was recorded at Broadcasting House, London, in August.Producer: Dominic Howell Editor: Gillian Wheelan This was a BBC Audio Scotland production.

Mrs Palmer is very pushy towards the girls, wishing for them to come to the city and visit them. Mr Palmer is as gloomy and miserable as usual. Sir John pokes fun at Marianne for her love of Willoughby, and Mrs Palmer adds that Willoughby does not live too far from them, and invites them to visit them at they home as well as London. Mr Palmer calls out Mrs. Jennings, and Sir John for being what “ill-bred” for not wanting to abide by social rules. He, according to the girls, believe that he wishes to appear superior to everyone else. His wife also reveals that her husband is running for parliament, and as Willoughby is a member of the opposition, Mr Palmer probably wouldn't visit him. Apparently everyone is London is talking about the engagement of Marianne and Willoughby. Mrs. Palmer got the information from Colonel Brandon. Elanor tries to skirt around the subject of Marianne's relationship with Willoughby and tries to get more information about the Colonel. 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.

Una Jane Austen divertida, aguda, sin filtros, creadora irreverente de personajes. Es la que descubrimos a través de los textos que la escritora británica redactó entre los doce y los diecisiete años, reunidos en un volumen titulado 'Juvenilia' que acaba de ver la luz en España con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de la autora. Nosotros vamos a celebrarlo charlando con Ana Isabel Sánchez, traductora al español de esas obras de juventud de Austen, que nos describe su estilo y su contexto y nos hace conscientes de las dificultades que conlleva trasladar este tipo de textos al castellano. 'Juvenilia' está publicado por la editorial Gran Travesía.Escuchar audio

Greg Jenner is joined in Regency England by historian Dr Lucy Worsley and actor Sally Phillips to learn all about the life and works of literary legend Jane Austen on the 250th anniversary of her birth in December 1775.It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of England's best-loved authors, and the creator of such indelible characters as Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Emma Woodhouse and Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Whether you have read one of her six books – Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park – or seen one of the many adaptations, most of us have some experience with Austen. But her life story and how it influenced her writing is perhaps less well-known. This episode explores her early life as the daughter of a rural clergyman, takes a peek inside the books a teenage Jane was reading, and delves into her romantic and familial relationships to see what shaped Austen into the formidable literary talent she was. And it asks a key question: was Jane Austen, who wrote such wonderful women characters, a feminist?This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Hij zat vijftien jaar bij het Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (voorheen Toneelgroep Amsterdam), waar hij kortgeleden afscheid nam. Smits speelde onder andere in ‘Angels in America', ‘Hamlet' en ‘Geschiedenis van Geweld', waar hij een Louis d'Or voor won. In 2018 ontving hij de Paul Steenbergenpenning voor zijn hele oeuvre. Nu speelt hij in ‘Pride & Prejudice', een theaterbewerking van de wereldberoemde roman van Jane Austen. De theaterbewerking wordt vanuit een queer perspectief verteld. Met gevoel voor kostuumdrama trekken de spelers de wortels van het patriarchaat met brute kracht uit de grond. Nog steeds feestelijk en frivool, maar ook compromisloos, kwetsbaar en eigentijds.

Elizabeth is still reeling from Lady Catherine's visit, when her father summons her for a most diverting distraction. He's received a letter from Mr. Collins asserting that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are engaged, and warning them to be careful of the disapproval of the gentleman's most esteemed and noble aunt. It's a wonderful joke, because Mr. Bennet is sure that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are the two people in the world least likely to be engaged. Elizabeth humors him, but it adds to her distress - could she be hoping for too much?

Junge Frau aus gutem Hause trifft Mann aus gutem Hause, Andere aus besserem oder schlechterem Hause kommen dazwischen. Frau ringt mit sich und der Verwandtschaft zwischen Teatime, Picknick und Tanzball und am Ende wird geheiratet. So schlicht, so Jane Austen – könnte man meinen. Auch Charlotte Brontë fasst ihr Werk später zusammen: „Elegant, aber beschränkt.“ Vladimir Nabukov hingegen stellt Jane Austen in eine Reihe mit Kafka oder Proust. Und heute noch geht es auch Otto-Normal-Lesern nicht anders: Die einen stellen die Schriftstellerin in die Kitschecke, die anderen verehren sie fast kulthaft – auch gerade junge Menschen.

In 1949, American critic Lionel Trilling, writing in the New Yorker, was quick to recognize the achievement of George Orwell's new novel. "[P]rofound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating," he said. 1984 "confirms its author in the special, honorable place he holds in our intellectual life." And while the Cold War and the book's primary satirical targets - Stalin and his totalitarian regime - may have faded from view, the rise of technology and our current geopolitics mean that many of 1984's warnings are more relevant than ever.

He detested being in town, and didn't want to go to Norland, but he was going to go to one of them. Elanor believes that it is all his mother's fault. What Edward craves in independence, and in order to get it, Mrs. Dashwood asks why the man he never sought a profession. Edward explains that his wants always went against his parents wishes, and when he finally found something that he would maybe like, and that his family would agree to, he felt himself to be too old. After Edward's departure, Elanor tries to behave normally, and not back away from conversation about him.One morning, soon after the departure of Edward, Sir John Middleton, arrives with a party at Barton cottage. It is the Palmer family, Mrs. Jenning's and her son and daughter. Mrs. Palmer is a younger woman with a plump figure, and Mr. Palmer is a man of around twenty-five who contents himself in reading the paper, while the others talk. They stay for a while, and before leaving, Sir John presses the women of Barton Cottage to come for dinner.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.

Jessica was the good Mitford sister. The English aristocrat who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, then came to America and dedicated her life to social justice. According to her biographer Carla Kaplan, Mitford had the fierce, unruly life of a great muckraker. She was a Troublemaker in the best sense of the word. Unlike prudes like Upton Sinclair or Ralph Nader, she was hysterically funny—her voice as distinctive as Jane Austen's or Virginia Woolf's. She understood that bullies are driven by insecurity and paranoia, and she knew exactly how to punch them in the nose with her sharp upper-class English humor. So where are you now, Jessica Mitford?

Such a treat this week! My daughter Darcy is joining me to talk about one of her favorite novels, Pride and Prejudice. For me, after several weeks of dense reading, returning to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice felt like revisiting an old friend—but this time, the experience was unexpectedly conflicted. While I still admire the novel's perfectly engineered rom-com plot and its web of misunderstandings and romances, I found my patience thinner for the Regency language and social codes. What once felt transporting now felt distant and even claustrophobic. The novel's narrow social world, sparse physical description, and elastic sense of time made the setting feel oddly unreal to a modern reader.What was really fun, and unexpected, was how Darcy helped me reclaim my love of this book. I was just getting over my skis!While I struggled more with the characters than I remembered, Darcy loved Jane in particular. I found that Mrs. Bennet, often dismissed as ridiculous, now struck me as pragmatically rational in a world where marriage determines survival. And the tidy “happily ever after” ending left me missing the moral and emotional complexity I've grown used to elsewhere. But for Darcy, it felt like the way the book should end, especially for Jane and Bingley. I hope you enjoy this conversation half as much as I did!LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)The Lizzie Bennett DiariesCONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm
