Were women in the past completely uneducated — or worse, cruelly denied any meaningful opportunity to receive an education by their parents and society at large? Some modern scholars say so, but in this "back-to-school" edition of Rachel's Trivia Challenge, the Lutheran Ladies are revisiting key literary sources as they not only explore the history of women's education but also investigate whether the prevailing narrative of our day is truly just to those who came before us.   With questions drawn from Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and other notable authors writing in and about their own times, this quiz will tickle the minds of literary mavens and education enthusiasts alike — even though, in the end, it may raise as many questions as it answers.   Sources referenced in this episode include ...  Gender in Cultural History: Gender and Education  Luther on education: arnold__lut_33_3.pdf  Martin Luther and female education. - Free Online Library  Martin Luther: A Sermon on Keeping Children in School (1530)  William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing  Phillis Wheatley | The Poetry Foundation  Poems, by Phillis Wheatley   The Old Deluder Satan Act: deluder.html  Quote by Jane Austen: “It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "How young ...”  Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice; Mansfield Park   Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre  Social History of American Education | Education | Research Starters | EBSCO Research  The story of female education in the US: from illiterate to top of the class | World Economic Forum  ERIC - ED119389 - A History of Compulsory Education Laws.

She had been a beauty, and a prosperous beauty, all her life; and beauty and wealth were all that excited her respect. To know Fanny to be sought in marriage by a man of fortune, raised her, therefore, very much in her opinion. By convincing her that Fanny was very pretty, which she had been doubting about before, and that she would be advantageously married, it made her feel a sort of credit in calling her niece."Well, Fanny, I have had a very agreeable surprise this morning. I must just speak of it once, I told Sir Thomas I must once, and then I shall have done. I give you joy, my dear niece.” And looking at her complacently, she added, “Humph, we certainly are a handsome family!”Questions moving forward: Will something happen with Julia? Will Henry go away?

Sir Thomas has a full-on crashout when Fanny reveals that she wishes to refuse Henry Crawford.

In this episode, I'm joined by historian, author, and Austen expert Jackie Herring as we step inside Bath Abbey, home to over 1,500 memorials, each with its own story. Amongst the stones, we uncover not only the world Jane Austen knew, but the real people who may have shaped her writing and world in ways we are still discovering today.Jackie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, having previously served as Director of the Jane Austen Festival, leading tours in Bath and the Abbey for many years, and now working as Editor of Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine. Together, we explore the rich and often surprising connections between the Abbey and Austen's life.From a royal governess connected to Queen Charlotte's household, to an innkeeper whose name echoes through Emma, to an ambitious entrepreneur who revolutionised the postal system, these lives, memorialised in the Abbey, offer fascinating glimpses into the society Austen observed so closely. We also explore more personal connections, from the apothecary who cared for Austen's family, to the grief surrounding her father's death, and a family friend whose story hints at the complex realities behind novels like Mansfield Park.Jane Austen lived in Bath from 1801 to 1806, and while the Abbey would have looked different in her time, its walls and floors still hold echoes of her world. This conversation invites us to slow down, to look closer, and to remember that history is not just written in books-it is set in stone.Visit Bath Abbey: https://bathabbey.digitickets.co.uk/event-tickets/62090?catID=59521& Jackie's book Jane Austen's Bath Abbey: https://www.janeaustenmagazine.co.uk/books.php Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine: https://www.janeaustenmagazine.co.uk/issues.php Ways to support the podcast, and yourself through things I use and love: BREW: Jane Austen House Rainbow Quote mugs: https://jane-austens-house.myshopify.com/products/quote-mug-2 MUSHROOMS: Try London Nootropics with 20% off using code IZZYMEAKIN at the checkout or click this link: https://londonnootropics.com/IZZYMEAKIN DOGO: Wilsons Pet Food (Hoggle's recommendation) https://www.wilsonspetfood.co.uk/discount/whattheausten Wilsons are offering 20% off when you use my code: whattheausten at checkout

In this episode of One Symphony, conductor Devin Patrick Hughes sits down with acclaimed film and television composer Lesley Barber for a wide-ranging, behind-the-scenes conversation about writing music that reveals what characters can't say out loud. Lesley shares how improvising and composing before formal training shaped her voice, how pop, R&B, and composers like Schubert, Bach, and Chopin influenced her musical language, and why her chamber-score approach to Maurice Sendak's Little Bear became so enduring that listeners now pass it down to the next generation. The conversation then dives deep into Manchester by the Sea—from the time-crunch sprint to Sundance, to recording her daughter's a cappella vocals in a dorm room for intimate “in-your-head” sound, then expanding into a large hall for an almost omniscient sense of space. Along the way, Lesley unpacks her fascination with fate, time, and music that can feel “mathematical” yet emotionally unavoidable, and why the most powerful film music often lives in the story's absences—making the invisible audible. Devin and Lesley also explore international orchestras, building creative teams across time zones, writing the Late Nighttheme under extreme deadline pressure, and what the future could look like for film music in the concert hall. Music Selections Featured in This Episode “Boarding School Titles” from the film Boarding School. Composed and performed by Lesley Barber. “Sentimental Journey” from the film Mansfield Park. Composed by Lesley Barber. “Hide & Seek” from the television series Little Bear. Composed by Lesley Barber. “Manchester Minimalist Piano and Strings (Variation)” from the film Manchester By The Sea.

250th Birthday Edition: What Matters in Jane Austen? by John Mullan: ⁠https://amzn.to/4sA9fbG⁠ In this episode, I'm joined by John Mullan to explore the remarkable range of Jane Austen's novels and the beauty of her unique literary style. We talk about how free indirect speech shapes our intimacy with characters like Emma Woodhouse, drawing us into her mind while quietly revealing her blind spots. We also explore why Mansfield Park feels so different from Austen's other novels and yet has a lot of depth to unpack. Along the way, we reflect on the enduring magic of Pride and Prejudice: why it feels so alive and so perfectly balanced. From irony and voice to structure and silence, this conversation celebrates the many ways Austen writes. Whether you're a lifelong Austen reader or returning to her novels with fresh eyes, this episode is an invitation to notice, to linger, and to fall in love with her work all over again

Lovers' Vows cast list is up! Fanny is offered the role of a lifetime, which she does NOT want, and Miss Crawford is the only one who comes to her aid. The company decides to search for their Anhalt amongst their neighbors but Edmund puts a stop to that by offering to play Anhalt himself.Topics discussed include playing dress-up, horse betting, why Edmund DOESN'T want to play Anhalt, Mary's moment of kindness, and Fanny's studio apartment.Patron Study Questions this week come from Avi and Ghenet. Topics discussed include our opinions on Mary's character and why Mrs. Norris is so cruel to Fanny.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Edmund's conduct and choices vs. Fanny's conduct and choices, whether we buy Edmund's reasoning, and Fanny's studio loft and what it tells us about Fanny's relationship to Mansfield Park.Funniest Quote: For a moment no one spoke; and then many spoke together to tell the same melancholy truth, that they had not yet got any Anhalt. “Mr. Rushworth was to be Count Cassel, but no one had yet undertaken Anhalt.”“I had my choice of the parts,” said Mr. Rushworth; “but I thought I should like the Count best, though I do not much relish the finery I am to have.”“You chose very wisely, I am sure,” replied Miss Crawford, with a brightened look; “Anhalt is a heavy part.”“The Count has two-and-forty speeches,” returned Mr. Rushworth, “which is no trifle.”Questions moving forward: Will Fanny act? How will it go with Edmund as Anhalt?Who wins the chapters?

Though Jane Austen went largely unrecognized in her own lifetime—four of her six novels were published anonymously, and the other two only after her death—her name is now synonymous with the period romance. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz choose their personal favorites from her œuvre—“Emma,” “Persuasion,” and “Mansfield Park”—and attempt to get to the heart of her appeal. Then they look at how Austen herself has been characterized by readers and critics. We know relatively little about Austen as a person, but that hasn't stopped us from trying to understand her psyche. It's a difficult task in part because of the double-edged quality to her writing: Austen, although renowned for her love stories, is also a keen satirist of the Regency society in which these relationships play out. “I think irony is so key, but also sincerity,” Schwartz says. “These books are about total realism and total fantasy meeting in a way that is endlessly alluring.”This episode originally aired on June 12, 2025. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen“Persuasion,” by Jane Austen“Emma,” by Jane Austen“Mansfield Park,” by Jane Austen“Sense and Sensibility,” by Jane Austen“Northanger Abbey,” by Jane Austen“Virginia Woolf on Jane Austen” (The New Republic)Emily Nussbaum on “Breaking Bad” and the “Bad Fan” (The New Yorker)“How to Misread Jane Austen,” by Louis Menand (The New Yorker)“Miss Austen” (2025—)“Pride and Prejudice” (2005)Scenes Through Time's “Mr. Darcy Yearning for 10 Minutes” SupercutNew episodes drop every Thursday.

Jane Austen was born in the 16th of December, 1775, which means this month marks her 250th birthday. Jane lived a quiet, mostly happy life in the English countryside, surrounded by the balls, romantic intrigues and family dramas that fill her novels. Her writing was always her true passion. 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. But let's look past the endearing characters and timeless stories, and met the woman holding the quill. Let's get to know Jane Austen...

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.
