Chatta con i fan di Jane Austen in tutto il mondo

How many novels did you write

Dear Jane Austen “Interessierte”
I have been admiring the works of Jane Austen, mainly on film for quite some years now. How great it is also to read passages from her books aloud. Maybe next year, I will have the opportunity to visit the UK and Chawton.

Hey, my name is Agata Pietrzak and I am Polish student. I am currently working on my BA thesis on Jane Austen’s translation of “Pride and Prejudice”. I would like to ask you to complete the survey. THANK YOU !

I had to write a letter to her for my English Class this is how it went

Dear Jane Austen,

After finishing Pride and Prejudice I feel as if I need to read it a few more times to fully grasp the overall concept of the book and appreciate your genius. Upon my first reading, I felt as if you added a lot of unnecessary information in which I blamed on your time and age of writing but later saw how wonderfully you made everything fall together. Not a detail that was aforementioned did not have a complacent ending. The only fault I could possibly see, is more of compliment if anything, which is I wanted the ending to be longer. Maybe I read it too fast out of aspiration or just general excitement but it seemed too condensed to really give all the characters justice. I understand it’s like an end of a film where we get to see how all of the character’s lives played out and I guess it’s just pure selfishness but I yearned for more. I think this was just because everything else was described so thoughtfully, that just a conclusion of the events seemed so rushed. Either way I have the highest regards for you as an author and wish so much to meet you. Your language has widely expanded my vocabulary and I tend to use your words or essense of them on a daily basis now. Even though I’m sure there are many drawbacks to living in this era you somehow made it seem so whimsical that I, a person who is very involved in her technology, become wishful of being in your time. You have created such wonderful people who even though differ in personalities have a simpleness to them that is easy to understand the basis of their characters. I have fallen in love with the scene, people, and events so much that I feel a connection to them like you often do when you get lost in a book. As I see it each book is a glimpse into a different world and I’m very grateful for you letting me be apart of yours. I highly doubt that there will be a time where I don’t remember the events in great detail. Reading your work has given me a better outlook on life, I no longer see wealth and beauty as a major advantage and place more value on character. I see my former self in Elizabeth where I would hear something about someone and automatically believe it to be true without proper confrontation. And with writing so detailed as your own I feel as if I have experienced every emotion with the person. I deem this book to be so good I plan to read all of your works to perhaps see you develop as a writer. Upset as I may be of the last chapter, I am comforted by the fact that you did not go too far into the future so that may stay forever young at heart.

With all my love and warmest regards,

Sarah Nacole

Hi, I’m doing a little research on Jane, and a millwright who provided paper to Jane in 1814, Ive got evidence of the paper maker knowing jane as they lived very close to each other in Chawton and Alton. But i need a time line of the houses where Jane lived whilst i speak to the mills archive, any help would be good.

Anybody from the Aldershot area going to this years Jane Austen festival, I am looking for some like minded company!
