i honestly thought you were sitting in front of a painting at first, but then a car drove by and i realized how big of an idiot i am lolol
jessethereader Hahaha! Glad my mom's window is pretty enough to be a painting! Lol
jessethereader Me too Jesse, me too
I read all of Jane Austen's novels when I was 15. Persuasion remains my favourite. For those who enjoy Jane Austen, the novels of the Bronte sisters are a nice place to branch off.
I agree! I actually read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre before any of Austen's novels.
Mikayla Brie I read Villette and Jane Eyre when I was 14 and got into Jane Austen shortly after. Then I went back for more Bronte, haha and read Shirley and Wuthering Heights.
Totally agree! Persuasion rocks. How did you like Villette? It reminded me a lot about me. As I moved to Germany by myself, and still don't speak the language, so I often felt like Lucy. Until the last page I was very scared for the poor girl.
FromTheDustyBookshelf the Brontes disproved of Jane Austen haha
Persuasion is my favorite too. I cried for three solid pages with joy as I read that book lol.
Romantic relationships between cousins were pretty normal and usual in the Victorian times. And how the hell can Northanger Abbey be a parody of Wuthering Heights if it was written 30 years before the Heights?
Lucia Čolaković whoops, didn't know that.... Sorry.
Tashapolis no need to apologize, still loved your video :)
There's an author who could be compared to the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen and she's not really famous and I don't understand why. It's Elizabeth Gaskell. Her book North and South has the same hate-to-love trope than Pride and Prejudice. It just happens in a different environnement: the north of England, during the industrial revolution.
It's an amazing love story that also deals with class struggles and it's simply amazing, I loved it as much as some of Austen's novels.
I can't recommand it enough!!
And btw I also know the P&P movie bY HEART I would definitely play with you hahaha
I've loved the mini-series they've made in 2004. Bought the book but i still didn't get the chance to read it. But you are right, it has the same hate-to-love vibes :)
INSTAGRAM SENT ME. XD
Smartass.
You're wrong about Northanger Abbey (published 1817) - it was a satire of other books like 'the Monk' and then 'the mysteries of Udolpho' by Ann Radcliffe - Wuthering heights and Jane Eyre was published in 1847 (much later) = so they were not what she was trying to take the mick of.
@hammertapping I was commenting specifically on the fact that Tasha said that Jane Austen was making fun of specifically Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights not the genre of Gothic literature as a whole -
Lady Susan crying in the background
I absolutely love this video! I've only read Northanger Abbey and am currently reading Persuasion, but I'm challenging myself to read at least two other Jane Austen novels this summer. And, eventually when I finish the entire collection, I'm going to watch The Jane Austen Bookclub because it looks so dang good! Now that I know about the live streams, I'll have something to watch after and between readings. Thank you so much! Love your videos! Have an amazing day!
This was just lovely! Very different from your usual videos, good for you :)
Aww thanks!!!
I love your costume, set-up, and music for this video! 😍
I have seriously wanted to do a Jane Austin marathon lately too! Oh, the bookclub sounds so much fun.
Sense and Sensibility is my favorite too. I relate to the character transformation that Maryanne goes through. As she matures, she realizes that her fantasy about Willoughby was unrealistic and that she really loves the man, Colonel Brandon. So sweet. He is her savior essentially. ❤❤❤
Definitely want that beautiful set! You have definitely made me want to read them. Thank you!
I love that Pride & Prejudice movie so much! I'm so glad you loved that one too! I have it on blu-ray and I'm afraid I'm going to wear it out I have watched it so much. I love Keira and Matthew. OMG!!!! Love this video =)
I hated that version. prefer the '95 miniseries.
@ MKaye I hated that version! To each his own =)
I prefer the mini series from 95s but 2005 was superb as well. oh and the book! such a lovely read!
I LOVED this video! I am all about reading what you love, but I also really love seeing people expanding their reading horizons. Reading all of Jane Austen's novels is definitely impressive! :) I have all of her novels, but I have yet to read them.
My favorite Jane Austen novels are Pride and Prejudice and Emma.
Also if you like Jane Austen u should watch Becoming Jane! It's such an amazing movie! It has Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy
omg your outfit and makeup is STUNNINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG .
Love your outfit and set up!
I used the music Mrs Darcy to walk out of the church on my wedding day and wore a regency style wedding dress in gold with a long sleeve gold spencer coat with a train. This week I’m going to be staying in Winchester for three days and heading to chawton and Bath x
Sense and Sensibility is my favourite too! ❤❤ love your outfit!
I love all of Austen's books so much, I think my ranking would be Pride and Prejudice (it's a clichéd one to have as my favourite but I just love it), then Persuasion (HIS LETTER), Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park and then Emma.
Oh I'm so glad you're reading Jane Eyre next! It's my mum's favourite book and she's been asking me to read it for years. I knew I would like it but for some reason I took forever to pick it up, but I did in 2015 and it was an instant favourite, it really is worth all the hype!
I loooove Jane Austen! Thanks for this!
i'm a huge fan of classic novels idk why but i just love them, i have all the books of Jnae Austen but only read one which is pride and prejudice and i obviously love it now you convinced me to read her other novels next, i always love your videos as you always convince me to read the book you're talking about, i love you just don't change
Persuasion is my favorite. Like omg I love it soooo much. Favorite trope nowadays!!!!!!! Friends to lovers!!! Second chance romance!!!!
LOVE Jane Austen! My favorite is Pride and Prejudice followed by Emma and then Sense and Sensibility. Also LOVE Austenland the book and the movie. Thanks for this video - it was great!
Tom Hiddleston does have a Jane Austen role but not in any of her book adaptations.There was a small BBC movie 10 years ago called Miss Austen Regrets.Its set in the last few years before she died and its worth watching. I'd also recommend her short novel Lady Susan.Its not your usual Jane Austen but it is a lot of fun.
I loved this, i'm going to be reading a lot more classics in April, super excited!
um have you watched the pride and prejudice TV series with Colin firth?!?!?!? That is definitely the best adaptation 😍
Anastasia Smith I did! Loved it, but I prefer the movie!
Tashapolis yes the movie was beautifully shot 💖
Ohhh I love that purple version of pride and prejudice!!
I was so mad when they took of the 95' pride and prejudice of Netflix! So I went out and bought a bundle of Jane Austen movies and books
Can you do a bookshelf tour? Ps love your videos
I actually haven't read any of Jane Austen's novels yet, but I love the Pride and Prejudice movie and also the Lizzie Bennett Diaries here on CZcams and I've been meaning to read it for so long. I loved this video though and now I really want to read all these novels!
I've just recently discovered the Pride and Prejudice movie from 2005 and I'm soo in love with it!! New favorite movie right there! I'm going to read the book very soon and see if I'll like it just as much. And maybe, at some point, I'll manage to read all the other Jane Austen novels too :D Great video, I love watching these :)
I'm English, and your English accent was pretty good! xx
I love all of Jane Austen's novels! I own three copies of all of her books haha. My favorite Pride & Prejudice version is the Colin Firth version, and P&P is my favorite book as well. It used to be Persuasion, but now it's bumped down to second.😬
Since Jane Austen lived decades before the Victorian Era, I highly doubt she made fun of "Wuthering Heights" or "Jane Eyre"... Since the Brontes weren't even born yet. ;)
oohhh, I need this!! I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time via audiobook (because I've tried to read the book traditionally for like 5 times before and just cannot do it)
The pride and prejudice movie is amazing! I've seen it at least 10 times and finally read the book a few years ago.
I completely agree with your ranking of her books
Just watched the Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice movies these few days and I LOVEEEDD them! (Alan Rickman's Colonel Brandon and the 2005 version Mr. Darcy omggg Mrs. Darcy~*dead*) So I'm considering of reading the book but don't know when to start, but thanks for this video I think I'll just start with Sense and Sensibility!
I loved this video! I've read all of Jane Austen's books. I don't think I've ever rated them though. I need to re-read Northanger Abby, because I remember this being my least favorite...I was 19 or 20 them though. Your Austen club people should try reading adaptations next. Modern spins on these classics. A writer named Debra White Smith did modern retellings of all 6 and I loved them.
As a huge fan of classical music I must know what songs were used in this video. So beautiful!
Have you watched The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on youtube? It was a fun modern retelling they did of Pride and Predjudice. I was obsessed when it was playing weekly.
Yes! I would rank Jane Austen's novels in the same order! Sense and Sensibility is my absolute favorite.
I'm actually reading Pride and Prejudice right now! 😂😂😂
This was an awesome video
The only one I've read is Persuasion and I really liked it ^_^ it was so so cute at times, and it was for one of my college classes so the discussions were interesting. I would love to try reading all of her other novels at some point.
I'm reading all of Jane Austen's novels this year! It's one of my goals. I have never read any of her books before. I'm reading them in publication order, which IS different from the order she wrote them. Northanger Abbey is the first she wrote but it's the last she published. I decided to read them in publication order because once she got them back from publishers who bought them but didn't publish them she revised and edited Northanger Abbey and Persuasion and then they were the last to be published. I don't know how much was changed but I want to experience her development as a writer.
I loved this video! Could you please recommend the best order to read all of the Austen books in to enjoy the most? I plan to (try to) read them all over spring break :)
Ive read most of the books when I was younger and by now they all blended into one village with all the characters in it. Maybe it's time to reread it as I really liked them before
Omg I loved this video! it was so classy and very, very British which I loved! I love England and everything about it, Jane Austen, Shakespeare everything! I want to go there so bad! and I want to live in London and I will and I can't wait to go over there!!! Anyway I loved this video, I love Jane Austen! granted I only read Pride and Prejudice for class because I took a film adaptation class best class ever! and I had to read the book in a week and it was really fast but very hard to understand and I wrote numerous papers on it as well so it is my specialty (along with my love of England) anyway, I watched the 2005 version and the earlier one in black and white and honestly I liked the 2005 version better it was more geared towards the book rather than the black and white one, but other than that I only read Pride and Prejudice but I do plan to read more Jane Austen and you made me want to read more of it and I can't wait!! You are awesome and your British accent is on point! You need to do more of these videos because they are goals!
Have you read Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld? It's a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. I read it in January and I actually liked it a lot. There is a Sense and Sensibility modern retelling as well!
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen book, but I played the lead in a stage adaptation of Persuasion, and that story mean the world to me.
I'd love too see you read all the brontes sisters books. :)
I personally love Mansfield Park the best. Yes there were cousins, but during that time period it was very common. Especially in a royal family because it kept the blood-line pure. My second favorite is Pride and Prejudice, Then Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Emma, and then Northanger Abbey.
The Dress is so sweet.
Persuasion, yes was very hard to get into that. Then BAM! It was ending very nicely. Try Villette, I was scared to read until the very end!
I absolutely LOVE P&P and have seen every film adaptation there is (and read the book too obviously xD). Have you seen the 6 hour TV mini series with Colin Firth? I binged it all on a sick day and it was amazing. I'm really not a big classics fan, I get so bored! I think I might read Emma though, as Clueless is my favorite movie of all time. This video was dahh-ling
Aww i loved mansfield park...loved the movie too
AvidReader07
Finally someone else who loves Mansfield park!!
I've tried to read Pride and Prejudice twice and just couldn't get through it, I might pick up Northanger Abbey soon to ease me into her books!
Austen's special genius was irony. No other author is her equal in that. The first sentence of Pride and Prejudice resonates with layers of irony. Her declaration that 'it is a truth universally acknowledged" about young well-to-do men and marriage is a veiled and barbed commentary on her society and its relegation of women to a subservient role. The chief and most delightful characteristic of Elizabeth Bennet is her independent mind and spirit. Her asserting herself within a middle class family is the cause of all the fun especially when she faces off with Lady Catherine.
I have not watched the video yet, but Persuasion is hand down the best from Jane Austen ! ;)
This has to be my top favorite of your videos. I completely agree that Tom Hiddleston needs to be in a Pride and Prejudice movie. He'd make a perfect Darcy. I haven't managed to read past the first few pages of Sense in Sensibility and it sucks cause I love the collected edition that I have. After this video I'll definitely give it another chance.
I couldn't make sense of Sense and Sensibility until I saw the wonderful 1995 version with Emma Thompson. Now when I read it it makes sense. It's the first few pages that are so confusing.
P&P is my ultimate favorite love story! Darcy (sigh). But I love love love Northanger Abbey. I just finished reading Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld which is an amazingly funny and witty modern P&P re-telling. You should definitely check it out :)
Natasha, who is your favorite male character from Austen? (Captain Wentworth is mine!)
The 1 n only Mr. Darcy
Sameeee
In Jane Austen's time, British people talked with the accent Americans use today (more or less), so you're actually very authentic! (The typical British accent we know today started as an upper-class affectation in the Victorian era and then spread throughout most of British society, but that was after Austen's time.)
I'm actually reading Jane Austen's novels this month! I need to read Masfield Park amd i'm reading Emma, then i'm done. My favorite one is Persuasion
Natasha, please tell me you've seen The Lizzie Bennet Diaries!?!
Also Emma Approved!
Myranda Barton I watched it the month I read P&P! Loved it!
Did you watch Emma Approved?
I love Jane Austen stories, but the writing is hard to get into. Sense and Sensibility is one of my all time fave book, but I still havent read the other. I tried the first chapters of each, but I loose the motivation after 50 pages 😕 Maybe I will try to read one or two this summer...
In your movie watching did you guys watch the Bollywood versions? For example Pride and Prejudice there is Bride and Prejudice. I love the BBC adaptions, along with the American adaptions but if you want an every more guilty pleasure in watching and you love musicals you need to watch the Bollywood adaptions!
Where did you get your beautiful copy of Pride and Prejudice? The purple cover is beautiful!
If you haven't seen the TV series Lost in Austen you should! Its about a modern day Austen fan who gets trapped in the world of Pride and Prejudice! X
My favourite is tied for Pride and Prejudice and Emma. A close second is Mansfield Park -- it is Austen's most political novel for Sir Thomas Bertram had a direct relation to the slave trade. Also, I really like Fanny as a heroine!
i love Jane Austen. i waiting my set book with her novels. ( sorry for my english - work in progress !!! i need learn english for read in original language. i'm so happy
Did you see confess is going to be a tv series and there is already a trailer??😱
what is the main theme in sense and sensibillity book, how is it reveald and developed? Is the theme traditional and familiar or new and original. Is it well handled.
I have the same Pride and Prejudice!
Hate to love is my favourite trope too that's probably why I loved the Pride and Prejudice movie so much. I know most people prefer the mini series but I still like the movie more. I prefer to watch the movies and adaptions of the classics because I have a short attention spane for that kind of writing. Have you seen The Lizzie Bennett Diaries and Emma Aproved they are really fun modern day youtube adaptions of Pride and Prejudice and Emma.
where did you get these books ?! they are so pretty!!
I love this!!!!!!! My name is Emma and I did not like my name until I read Jane Austen!! I love that you dressed up in their clothing- it added to the video! I have read each of her books at least 5 times... rank: 1. persuasion 2. Pride and Prejudice 3. Emma 4 northanger Abby 5 sense and sensibility and 6 Mansfield park!
I am currently reading Pride and Prejudice but it moves really slowly and it is kinda boring right now. Is it worth reading? I am it's a classic but still. Is it? I really need an opinion.
Thanks
you look great and l love your video thankj you
Have you seen 'Lost in Austen'?
which edition is your book? I love this cover
If you come to England let us know so we can show you around all the P+P locations!!
correction her last novel was sanditon
My ranking is
Northanger Abbey first. I liked Persuasion 2nd. Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice tried for 3rd (I couldn't decided).
and Mansfield Park in 5th. I've seen the movies but haven't read Emma yet. so I don't want to add it to my rankings. also, I'm in a slump so I've been putting it off. Have you read Lady Susan? Jane Austen short story. I just found a copy of it by itself (I don't normally like reading multi novel bind ups)
I'm English and I think your accent is pretty good!
lol as soon as you said something about the hate/love relationships I immediately thought about rowan and aelin
Try to read Jane Austen book club
Aw, pride and prejudice is the best!
•_•
when Mansfield park is your favorite novel and everybody hates on fanny price.
I'm currently reading pride and prejudice and after that I'm reading Emma
my fave is emma. i dont like mansfield park's end but i love reading it
you look like a princess, a model or a godess on the thumbnail omg
Have you seen the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on You Tube? its a modern day adaptation produced by Hank Green, and it is sO GOOD :)
Frances Mackinnon wow I love hank and John green :) I'm going to check this out ;)
Did you watch the Lizzie Bennet diaries on CZcams?? It's really good and super fun and modern.:) I think you'd really like it.
I can't believe you didn't like persuasion, it'ts in my top 2 Jane Austen novels. I didn't read it until I was in my late 20s but perhaps that made it a bit more relateable
I LOVE YOU
