    Extractions: The Crimson Wayside Flower - Site Closed Announcement - 1 December 2003 I have decided, after much deliberation, that it is time for The Crimson Wayside Flower to say its goodbyes. This site has given me much inspiration and joy in the past four years. I am currently at work on a series of novels that I intend to publish in book form. Sadly, due to this added load, I able no longer able to allot CWF the time it deserves. I have opted to remove the archived fiction so that authors may feel free to revise and publish their stories elsewhere. Many CWF authors have found the courage to begin full-length novels, intended for conventional publication. We wish them all the best of luck. Should you wish to contact any of the authors, please let me know and I will forward your request.

    Extractions: Return to Jane Austen's Writings Thanks to the folks on AUSTEN-L for pointing out some of these poems. ( Poems by Jane Austen are also available.) Jane Austen's eldest brother James Austen wrote this poem soon after the appearance of her first-published work, Sense and Sensibility , when the knowledge of Jane Austen's authorship of the novel was still confined to her family. He pretended that it was written by an unknown admirer. On such Subjects, no Wonder that she should write well

46. Jane Austen And Laurence Sterne
    Material from austen's writings which may indicate she read Sterne's works.  
    http://www.mirror.org/ken.roberts/austen.sterne.html
    
    Extractions: Jane Austen and Laurence Sterne For some time I have wondered whether Jane Austen had read Laurence Sterne's "Tristram Shandy". Both authors display great wit and honesty in their depiction of characters. "Tristram Shandy" slightly addresses the duties of clergy, a subject which interested Jane Austen. She certainly read "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy". She might also have read Sterne's "Sermons of Mr. Yorick". "Tristram Shandy" was such a notorious book that I thought perhaps Jane Austen had avoided it. She was not one to honour the merely notorious. Tristram Shandy is not "merely notorious" of course, but did Jane Austen think so? I recently ran across a reference to "Tristram Shandy" in one of Jane Austen's letters. In her letter of September 14, 1804 to her sister Cassandra, Jane Austen is describing the household arrangements during the family's visit to Lyme. She says: [character in "Sir Charles Grandison"]

    http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_jane_austen.html
    
    Extractions: Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon, England. She was the seventh child of the rector of the parish at Steventon, and lived with her family until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. Her father, Reverend George Austen, was from Kent and attended the Tunbridge school before studying at Oxford and receiving a living as a rector at Steventon. Her mother, Cassandra Leigh Austen, was the daughter of a patrician family. Among her siblings she had but one sister, Cassandra, with whom she kept in close contact her entire life. Her brothers entered a variety of professions: several joined the clergy, one was a banker, while several more spent time in the military. Although her family was neither noble nor wealthy, Rev. Austen had a particular interest in education, even for his daughters. Although her novels focus on courtship and marriage, Jane Austen remained single her entire life. She died in Winchester on July 8, 1817. Jane Austen published four novels anonymously during her lifetime: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815). Two novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published posthumously in 1817. These novels are prominent for her satiric depiction of English society and manners.

    Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses Sitting in front of the t.v. recently, I muttered, "Look at the shape of that armscye! Isn't that interesting?" My husband, who wouldn't know an armscye from an Armistice blouse, shot me a puzzled glance and asked what on earth I was talking about. I shook my head and let the subject drop. You're galloping into dangerous territory when you watch a movie with a costume buff! Three recent Jane Austen film adaptations have made wonderful use of costumes to enhance characterizations and carry storylines forward. Watching them for the first time is a delight, and subsequent viewings only serve to augment my appreciation for the thought and care that went into each film's look. Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion Pride and Prejudice , which made its five-part debut in 1996, are all excellent examples of costuming done well and with an eye on the story.

52. List Of Examples Of Singular "their" Etc. From Jane Austen's Writings
    A discussion of jane austen's use of they/their as genderless pronouns.  
    http://www.crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/austhlis.html
    
    Extractions: Go to List of examples of singular "their" etc. from the OED and elsewhere ... Statistics The following examples were mainly turned up in a fairly unsophisticated search by myself ( Henry Churchyard churchh@crossmyt.com ), using the Jane Austen e-texts which are freely available on-line over the Internet (not the official Oxford University e-texts); the search patterns were basically the morphemes "any", "each", "every", "no", "one", and "who(m)", found preceding "their" or "themselves" within the same orthographic sentence; and the morpheme "body" found preceding any of the "they" words within the same orthographic sentence. A few additional examples come from Jespersen . I have not included some examples where there is not a real choice between "their" and "his" (i.e. it would be impossible, even for the most rigid followers of the 19th century tradition of the prescriptive "generic masculine", to substitute "he/him/his" in place of "they/them/their"); a typical example is Mr. Knightley's "He had used every body ill and they are all delighted to forgive him", from Emma In the listing below, the examples are arranged by novel (the six novels are alphabetized by title), and then by relative order of occurrence within each novel. Examples from other writings follow those from the novels. I make no claim that these lists are exhaustive.

55. What Price Love?
    A fullscale romantic musical comedy by Alan Weitzman, based upon jane austen's best-selling masterpiece 'Pride and Prejudice', is introduced here.  
    http://hometown.aol.com/whatpricelove/
    
    Extractions: What Price Love? This page joyfully introduces a new and faithful musical adaptation of Jane Austen's witty romantic comedy of manners, , which has become a worldwide best-seller since its initial publication in 1813. Set in 1811, in the English countryside, What Price Love? is a fable of fulfillment. Young women want husbands - rich husbands - and young men want women. Outspoken Elizabeth Bennett and arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy dislike each other intensely. As they match wits, they overcome their youthful pride and personal prejudices, but family and friends confound the progress of love as they lust, lie, please, and prey upon each other. They all entertain and entice for 2-1/2 hours in 22 songs and get precisely what they deserve. The score is comprised of contemporary music orchestrated to recall romantic-period waltzes, ballads, character pieces, and folk and English music-hall songs, as well as a beguine, a galop, and a fandango. As Mrs. Bennet says early in Act I

    Extractions: Jane Austen (spoken by Mary Crawford in Mansfield Park In her own time (1775-1817), Jane Austen's books were contemporary romances. The daughter of a vicar, she lived quietly with her mother and sister. Despite her isolated life, she was an observant, often slightly cynical writer who portrayed the provincial middle and wanna-be upper classes. Several of her books contain comments on the literature of the time, such as her defense of novels and their readers and her look at the popular gothic genre. Kate Moore's article On Sex in the Regency in the Regency Reader analyses the courtship rituals in Jane Austen's novels. A brief analysis of just one of the novels, Pride and Prejudice, reveals both how observant Austen is of the slightest nuances of sexual attraction and how honest she is in portraying that attraction. Patricia Wynn , the author of several novels, reflects on the genre that Miss Austen founded, posthumously, and the current status of the Regency Romance novel. Thanks to her host, Henry Churchyard of the University of Texas, Miss Austen's
