This is like the plot of EVERY Jane Austen novel ever:

Novelist getting pursued by dissolute man who doesn't understand her books but loves them anyway!

🤣😂🤣😂

I kind of love that one of Jane Austen's biggest fans was the Prince Regent (later George IV). She didn't think very well of the nobility in general, but she motherfucking hated him, a wastrel who very flagrantly cheated on his wife.

But he loved her writing, was the first recorded purchaser of Sense and Sensibility, and kept copies of her books in all his residences. She never made enough from her writing to live on during her lifetime, so this wasn't support she could casually toss aside. His librarian kept suggesting ideas for new books to her, which she turned down with exquisite politeness. Much to her aggravation, she found herself obliged to dedicate Emma to the man.

Elizabeth Bennett:

-from: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jul/25/jane-austen-buyer-hated-prince-regent-sense-and-sensibility

'The admiration was not reciprocated: Austen wrote in 1813 that she took the side of the prince’s wife, Princess Caroline of Brunswick, after her infidelities became public: “Poor woman, I shall support her as long as I can, because she is a Woman, & because I hate her Husband.”'

I am currently reading Jane Austen and the Navy by Brian Southam and I just learned that Darwin both read Persuasion and told his sisters that his captain was like Wentworth when he was travelling on the Beagel:

Having witnessed FitzRoy's dealings with "a little midshipman... you cannot imagine anything more kind & good humoured than the Captians manners were to him." [he then quoted Persuasion]... Charlotte Wedgewood congragulated him... "I am delighted that you have fallen in with a Captain Wentworth - such an extraordinary peice of good luck."

When his sister asked if he wanted a copy of Persuasion, Darwin replied, he had no need of a copy: "there is no danger of my forgetting it"

And now I have a greater admiration for Darwin!

#if lady catherine had ever learnt how to assemble ikea furniture#she would have been a great proficient (via @firawren and seen again because @taciturn-nerd shared them again in their tags)

Lmao what a fun idea, opinions on each character under the cut:

Can they build IKEA furniture?

Anne Elliot: Has never had to, but absolutely could do it without mistakes and would check she has each piece before beginning.

Charlotte Lucas: Yes. The biggest hurdle is convincing Mr Collins she doesn't need his help.

Edmund Bertram: Eventually. Absolutely overconfident that it'll be a breeze and proceeds to make many mistakes before humbly accepting he needs to take it all apart and start over.

Elinor Dashwood: Can do and has done before. When her family try do it themselves she eventually ends up doing it for them and fixing their mistakes.

Fitzwilliam Darcy: Look, he has never had to, and probably never will, but the man would figure it out pretty quickly from the instructions.

George Knightley: Might have even done it before to help his tenants. He's too practical not to do it well.

Lucy Steele: I mean, she absolutely could and probably has before, but why would she want to, when she can rope someone else into doing it for her?

Mr Gardiner: Yep, just something that pops up every now and again in life.

Mrs Weston: Has experience trying to build a piece with Emma and it became a huge mess. Would probably fair better trying on her own, but it's never come up.

Robert Martin: Fixing things and using his hands is basically his job description. He's the guy you hire on air tasker to do it for you and probably has his own set of Allen keys.

Sophia Croft: I want to watch her and Admiral Croft make a Billy Bookcase. They would do it well, but the commentary from them as they go and "No, my dear, it certainly goes the other way," as she flips a shelf over would give me life. She can do it alone but prefers to do it with him.

My recent find of the delightful @can-they-assemble-ikea-furniture blog inspired me to make another Jane Austen crack poll.

Reblog and share in the tags which piece they're assembling, and if they get the meatballs, hotdog, or soft serve before they leave the store.

Edit: I made a poll for who is the worst at it too.

@tvarchive TV Appreciation Week 2024: Day 6: Favourite miniseries: The BBC’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1995).

@perioddramasource Period Drama Appreciation 2024: Day 7: Favourite adaptation: Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813) ➡️ The BBC’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1995).

“She is tolerable: but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.”

[laurasimonsdaughter]

When Mr. Charles Bingley rode into Hertfordshire to acquaint himself with Netherfield Park it was on a purely accidental recommendation. The solicitor who took it upon himself to advocate for Netherfield could certainly not be blamed for seeing a very desirable tenant in him. Bingley was at that time not yet two years of age, and unmarried, but he had the sort of good-humoured and generous character that must recommend him to almost anybody. The same could not be said for his closest friend…

Conceit and Conciliation is a full, canon compliant retelling of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”, told from the perspectives of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Charles Bingley.

It was written with a lot of love and a lot of help from my sister, and you can download it right now for free (ePub, Mobi or PDF) on my website laurasimons.com!
