Quirk Books is releasing another Jane Austen adaptation in September...Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.  Should we start taking bets as to the next possible book title (if they choose to do another Austen mash-up, that is)?  XD  (Really, I think they should've done one with Northanger Abbey instead...that one lends itself to a mash-up easily, methinks.)

 
Synopsis from the publisher
Entertainment Weekly's Q&A with the co-author, Ben H. Winters (plus 2 illustrations from the book)

Various Icons

Persuasion [9]
Sally Hawkins [1]

Okay, I'm probably the last one to realize that Agatha Christie may be an Austen fan. I was watching an AG mystery on PBS last night and suddenly realized that Miss Marple's name is "Jane" and another character's last name was "Fitzwilliam". I'm curious if AG was indeed a fan and if she sprinkled her work with Austen references?

[01-18] The Phantom of the Opera
[19-52] Pride & Prejudice (2005)
[53-66] Becoming Jane
[67-70] Pride and Prejudice (1995)
[71-74] Vanilla Sky
[75-78] Mansfield Park illustrations
[79-85] American Psycho

I hope this kind of thing is OK to post..

I have to give a presentation to my A2 Eng Lit class on the theme of love and marriage in Sense and Sensibility, and I'm totally lost! I mean I picked the book cause I thought it would be easy.
I need to choose an extract (no more that 2-3 pages) to hand out to the class and then make and present a powerpoint.
I'm having trouble finding a suitable extract to pick out that really sums it all up (baring in mind I do have 40 pages still to read). I'm also not really sure what to say in my presentation.
Can anyone help? I'm not asking you to do my presentation obviously, just kinda point me in the right direction...
Thanks so much!

Stephanie's Written Word has posted a Jane Austen challenge that I thought you Austen fans would be interested in. All you have to do is pick six Austen-themed books and/or movies to complete. The six-month challenge begins July 1, 2009 and runs through January 1, 2010. So that's just one Austen-themed book or movie per month. Easy as pie! And, yes, Austen's original works are included in the challenge.


Post an entry on your blog and sign up at the link above. Just for participating, you'll be entered into a random drawing to win a DVD copy of ITV's Lost In Austen. Throughout the six months, she'll also be offering other prizes. Sounds like fun, right?

I thought this might be of general interest. Found in Victoria magazine:

Admirers of Jane Austen and her literature will want to mark their calendars to attend the 2nd Annual Jane Austen Festival, July 18-19 in Louisville, Kentucky. This unique gathering, created to honor the famed English novelist, will take place at the elegant Locust Grove mansion. For more information, visit jasnalouisville.com.

Hello!
Not long ago I though: would may story of Bennets Family or Emma or Daswoods Sisters or somebody characteres to be in the modern time?
