The History of England

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.

The History of England

The History of England from Henry IV to Charles I, by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian. N.B. There will be very few dates in this History! Jane Austen wrote The History of England in 1791, at the age of just 15, as a satirical parody of 18th-century historical textbooks. It pokes fun at the apparent impartiality of contemporary historians and contains more opinions about the monarchs' relative characters than any facts or dates. The History of England was not published until 1922, more than a century after Austen's death.

Die Familie Bennet hat fünf Töchter. Eine Heirat mit einem möglichst begüterten Mann ist die einzige Karriere, die ihnen das Leben zu bieten hat. Leicht vorstellbar, daß es jede Menge Aufregung gibt, als zwei junge Männer von Vermögen in die Gegend ziehen. Schon bald macht Mr. Darcy, ein standesbewußter Gutsbesitzer, der munteren und geistvollen Elizabeth einen Heiratsantrag, den sie jedoch spontan ablehnt. Sein Freund Charles fühlt sich sehr zu Elizabeths älterer Schwester Jane hingezogen. Ein verwirrendes Spiel um leidenschaftliche Gefühle und Eifersucht beginnt. Jane Austen, die herausragendste Vertreterin des englischen Gesellschaftsroman, hatte Elizabeth Bennet von all ihren Romanheldinnen am liebsten. Doch es ist noch ein weiter Weg bis sie Elizabeth und ihre Schwester zu einer glücklichen Doppelhochzeit führen kann; Mr. Darcy muß vorher seinen Stolz und Elizabeth all ihre Vorurteile überwinden.

Persuasion

'All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one; you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.' Twenty-seven-year-old Anne Elliot is well past the bloom of her youth. Having been persuaded by her friends and family to break off her happy engagement with the young naval officer Wentworth, whose station lies beneath her own, Anne is seemingly destined for spinsterhood. However, when Wentworth later reappears in Anne’s life, tension and regret are rife and it is unclear whether the two can move past their shared history, or whether some decisions can never be undone. Superbly witty, yet at the same time subtle and heartbreaking, 'Persuasion' is Jane Austen’s last novel and, arguably, one of her best. Bought to the screen in 2007 with the award-winning Sally Hawkins, and then again in 2022 for Netflix's sassy adaption with Dakota Johnson, 'Persuasion' is a story of second chances that stands the test of time 'Persuasion' was further chosen as the first book in TikTok's Book Club which launched in July 2022. - Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most beloved British writers of all time. During her short life she published six novels: 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Mansfield Park', 'Emma', 'Northanger Abbey' and 'Persuasion', which are all considered literary classics. Her writing is full of sharp observations on the society in which she evolved, as well as ripe with timeless irony, and a solid dose of humour. She has created immortal characters that have inspired countless authors, novels, and movies including 'Bridget Jones' and 'Clueless'.

Persuasion

Persuasión es la última novela escrita por Jane Austen. La empezó a escribir poco tiempo después de haber terminado Emma, la terminó de escribir en agosto de 1816. Austen murió a la edad de 41 años en 1817, no obstante Persuasión fue publicada como trabajo póstumo en 1818.

Orgullo y Prejuicio

Orgullo y prejuicio (en inglés, Pride and Prejudice), publicada por primera vez el 28 de enero de 1813 como una obra anónima, es la más famosa de las novelas de Jane Austen y una de las primeras comedias románticas en la historia de la novela. Su primera frase es, además, una de las más famosas en la literatura inglesa: «Es una verdad mundialmente reconocida que un hombre soltero, poseedor de una gran fortuna, necesita una esposa». Es una novela de desarrollo personal, en la que las dos figuras principales, Elizabeth Bennet y Fitzwilliam Darcy, cada uno a su manera y, no obstante, de forma muy parecida, deben madurar para superar algunas crisis y aprender de sus errores para poder encarar el futuro en común, superando el orgullo de clase de Darcy y los prejuicios de Elizabeth hacia él. Es una de las obras más conocidas de la literatura inglesa, gracias a innumerables ediciones y algunas películas (como Orgullo y prejuicio, 2005), reescrita incluso en forma de un musical de Broadway (1959).
