- Jane Austen’s novels are so readable in part because she wasn’t an ordinary kind of novelist: she wanted her work to help us to be better and wiser people. Her novels had a philosophy of personal development at their heart.

Jane Austen also teaches us not to be to tough on introverts, they turn out to be her most worthy characters.
"Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings" - Jane Austen
Can you make more videos about women, please? (Sylvia Plath, Simone de Beauvoir, Virginia Wolf, George Eliot, Harper lee, the Bronte sisters, etc)
These videos have opened my eyes to the beauty of philosophy and literature. It's such a comforting feeling to learn that the questions and often sad thoughts in my head have been thought of and so thoroughly worked on by these great men and women in the past. In the past two weeks since I've started to watch these videos, I have seriously reconsidered many topics and views I have on life. It's a shame American core curriculum doesn't require the teaching of philosophy and reasoning. If more people learned and discussed these issues, it could make our societies and lives so much more fulfilling..
What's even more crazy is that Jane Austen wasn't formally recognized as a great writer until the 1920's! During her life, people did not largely read her work, and it wasn't until many decades later when a Harvard Scholar wrote a seminal paper on her work did she finally get attention!
Kudos to the animators of all the episodes. I don't think they get nearly enough appreciation :)
yes, her novels" make us laugh." Don't forget to emphasize how witty and funny Austen is.
Her stories have so many layers starting from personal level to big societal projections.The ease with which she shifts and covers from self reflection/ personality analysis to commentary on huge social concerns like misogyny- economic security- marriage - gender roles-social status-education - accomplishments and double standards. All her characters have imperfections which is beautiful 💞 The way the standard protagonist traits are to her second leads shows her uniqueness of writing

School of Life is one of the most humanistic channel on CZcams.
I am thoroughly convinced that only the deepest love shall induce me into matrimony
Make a video about the Brontë Sisters as well
As a writer, she's my inspiration, and I'm not a professional writer, but I do love writing!!
I love hearing you guys talk about literature. I was never able to articulate my fondness for Austen so well as your description of why she is such a loved writer, but that's absolutely a key point in my adoration of her. So, thanks for the words for the feeling. =]
A very informative piece that made me reconsider reading Jane Austen again.
This sole video has tought me more about relationships than any advice from anyone i have ever talked to ;D thanks school of life , keep it up !
I was actually named after Jane Austen
I am SO thankful (to Jane of course) that she never married; selfish on my-part of course (and on a good many of you reader's out there) for if she had her whole life would have been given over to her husband and children.
