Pride and Prejudice through the ages
quotingausten:
Right. Well, then.: I am a scholar.
caracraig:
Show me a good BBC period piece and I will show you an insurmountable obsessive compulsion to dote over a six hour series for far longer than my sanity should allow. Over the last week I’ve watched Pride and Prejudice* around 14 times. My basic findings are as follows:
Elizabeth Bennet circa 1980 - No.
Elizabeth Bennet circa 1995...

gonewiththewindconfessions-deac asked: Do you think Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill had a happy marriage? I don't know if I'm in the minority or not, but I think they did (which is one of the many reasons I adore Emma 2009); their story intrigues me. I'm just wondering because in alot of Austen-related polls I've seen, people tend to say that they would be unhappy, or even that Mr. and Mrs. Collins would be...
theproblematicpetticoat asked: Re: non-immediate-family-member-male being allowed in the lady's bedroom: the short answer is no. The long answer is nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
barelysuppressedfirth asked: i have that jane austen handbook (i have 2, actually wtf). it says nothing re: a gentleman in a lady's chambers. but that's a no-no, only to be found in fanfiction. a proper lady would never!

thegirlwhodidntmakesense asked: For the last question asked: dunno if it'll entirely help answer the questions about a man's presence in a woman's bedroom, but there are a few books specifically geared towards etiquette in Austen times. One is called The Jane Austen Handbook, it might have the information in there. There are a few others I've found but I think that one was more detailed if I recall correctly
singasongasixpence asked: I've actually recently finished <u>Jane's Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World</u> by Claire Harman. This book literally talks about nearly everything in Jane's life and her influence thereafter. There is an explanation on the "Wedding Band" portrait; once I find it, I'll message it to you. :)
repoenitere asked: Dear Other Austen, I was just reading a little more about Jane's life and I saw the famous painting of her, based on Cassandra's drawing. It was ok at first sigh, but then I noticed Jane's left hand and there it is - a ring! I wonder if it is a inside joke of the painter, as Jane holds (maybe) her writings, that she had married her career. Did you ever notice that? I'm afraid...
aworkofiction asked: Your most recent gif about Bingley talking to Jane in her room when she was sick got me thinking... do you think that would have happened in the 1700s? I noticed a similar scene in the 2008 version of Sense and Sensibility when Brandon visits Marianne when she's recuperating. It just seems really intimate and a big artistic license for the writer's to make when everything else follows...

alexshortandsweet asked: Weird question--my friend and I took a JA & Film course and we've had many, many discussions about her work. She refuses to see any queer possibilities (e.g. Charlotte Lucas is in love with Elizabeth, intimacy between female friends) in the text, with her argument being "I don't think she meant that." Do you have any thoughts on this? Because I really like the whole...
andpyxiswillleadmehome asked: CLEVER GIRL. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
mlle-bernales asked: What other Austen-related movies/series can you recommend? I've seen both the 1995 and 2005 Pride and Prejudice, 1995 Sense and Sensibility, 2007 Northanger Abbey, 1996 Emma, The Jane Austen Book Club, Bridget Jones's Diary and Edge of Reason, and Lost in Austen. I love your blog. :D

quick note on the click and drag game!
for all my queer followers, please feel free to mix up the categories a bit to your satisfaction! i stuck to the character tropes found in the novels because it was easier for me with my limited gif-making knowledge. hope you all enjoy! :)
