Happily Ever After: Celebrating Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice | Susannah Fullerton
10 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
DIV In 2013 Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice turns 200. Again and again in polls conducted around the world, it is regularly chosen as the favourite novel of all time. Read and studied from Cheltenham to China, there are Jane Austen Societies from Boston to Buenos Aires, dedicated to sharing the delights of Jane Austen's masterpiece. Here is the tale of how Pride and Prejudice came to be written, its first reception in a world that didn't take much notice of it and then its growing popularity. As well as discussing the famous characters sex-symbol Mr Darcy, charming heroine Elizabeth Bennet, and the superb range of comic characters who make readers laugh again and again Susannah Fullerton looks at the style of the novel its wicked irony, its brilliant structuring, its revolutionary use of the technique known as 'free indirect speech'. Readers through the years have both loved the book and hated it the reactions of writers, politicians, artists and explorers can tell us as much about the reader as they do about the book itself. Pride and Prejudice has morphed into many strange and interesting forms screen adaptations, sequels, prequels and updates. Happily Ever After explores these, and the wilder shores of zombies, porn, dating manuals, T-shirts, tourism and therapy. /div

I thought some of the #PemberLittens might be interested in this exclusive Jane Austen #funkopop from Books A Million. (I‘ve already ordered mine. 😊)

LeahBergen I don‘t usually like Funkos but I like this one!! 4y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I‘m very selective in the ones I buy (Queen Elizabeth II, George Washington, movie heartthrob the Creature From the Black Lagoon). Jane will fit in very well. 😂 4y
LeahBergen Okay, those DO sound like good ones. 😄 4y

Given to me by @mitch as part of #Pemberlittens #AVeryAustenHolidaySwap. I've been saving this tea for a special occasion. Celebrating Pride and Prejudice Publication on this day in 1813 seems the perfect time to sip. 🎂📖🫖

CrowCAH He does have a thoughtful expression on his face! 7y
LeahBergen 😂😂😂 Did you have to bribe her with pancakes? I love it! ❤️ 7y
LeahBergen @Austen_Nerd Wait. Your dog‘s name is Leah? 😂😂 7y
Simona @CrowCAH @LeahBergen Yes, I have to bribed her, she was deeply displeased with the charade and in the end, she didn't wanted to take cookies from me ... cat was the observer from the distance and she avoided me all day ... I‘m not popular human in my household today 😔 7y
CrowCAH @Simona aww the poor pets; they‘re on to you! Lol 7y
LeahBergen Oh no! 😂😂 7y
Austen_Nerd @LeahBergen yes, she came with the name when we got her from a rescue group. 7y
LeahBergen @Austen_Nerd Well, it‘s a mighty fine name (and even spelled “properly” 😉). 7y

Join us in February to celebrate @CrowCAH ‘s 150th copy of Pride and Prejudice. Yes, she owns 150 copies of P&P!

The order of the posts follows the arc of the novel‘s storyline and there will be prizes for those who finish the entire challenge.

Stay tuned for news of the Purr-ide and Purr-ejudice photo contest. A $25 bookstore gift card will go to the Litsy pet that best impersonates an Austen character. Start making that cat bonnet now. 😆

CrowCAH @merelybookish he must be a very wicked cat 🐈 indeed! Lol 7y
Morr_Books Awesome challenge...wish I wasn't allergic to animals 7y
Suet624 That‘s an amazing collection 7y
rubyslippersreads @CrowCAH @LeahBergen I can't wait, though Nicky and Sadie may be less enthusiastic. Nothing ever fatigues them but doing what they do not like. 😹 7y
CrowCAH @Morr_Books no problem; recruite the stuffed ones, they‘ll be a lot more cooperative for pictures! 😉 7y
CrowCAH @Suet624 thank you! 😊 7y
CrowCAH @rubyslippersreads woohoo; the kitties can be “Kitty”; she likes to copy-CAT 🐱 her sister Lydia! 7y
TK421 I still have never read anything from Jane Austen. 😱 7y
rubyslippersreads @CrowCAH 😹😹😹 7y
CrowCAH @TK421 don‘t panic; I‘ve made the themes so they could reach outside of Jane Austen and her six novels and pertain to other books and genres. 7y
DeborahSmall Looks good ❤️ 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 One of my favorite Austen‘s ❤️ 7y
rustoryhuf I am so there!!! My goal this year is to reread all Jane‘s books. 7y
kspenmoll Ok now I have to read Jane. Hate to confess I never did. 😞 7y
kspenmoll @TK421 Neither have I. Thinking its time to try a novel.., 7y
batsy What a fun idea! Time to borrow a cat? 😂 7y
erzascarletbookgasm This is interesting! But I don‘t have a 🐈! ☹️ 7y
LeahBergen @merelybookish Do you happen to have a cravat for him? 😆 7y
LeahBergen @Jess_Read_This I‘m hoping the Litsy cats and dogs play along. 😂 7y
LeahBergen @Morr_Books You can still try for the daily challenge prize. 😃 7y
LeahBergen @Suet624 Right?? 7y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Well, it looks like they can QUOTE Austen anyway. 😆😆 7y
LeahBergen @TK421 Yes, you can post with any book that you think relates to that day‘s theme. 👍🏻 7y
LeahBergen @DeborahSmall 😘 7y
LeahBergen @ForeverNerdy 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
LeahBergen @rustoryhuf That‘s a great goal! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
LeahBergen @kspenmoll Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice are my faves of the ones I‘ve read. 7y
LeahBergen @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm I don‘t have a cat either. Do you think my neighbour‘s big ginger male would claw my face off if I tried to put a bonnet on him? 😆 You can still play for the daily challenge prizes! 7y
cathysaid Wait...what? 150 copies? For real? @CrowCAH 7y
CrowCAH @cathysaid for real! I have one more to add to Litsy under hashtag #PnPCovers! (And technically I have four more already, but the party is for 150! ☺️) 7y

My "thank you" package arrived from @BooksTeasAndBookishThings , for when I helped her Dear America series grow, so she assisted my Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice collection grow!!! Along with gifting me some other great bookish things!

The book sleeve and Book Shadow silhouettes both use this quote: In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

BooksTeasAndBookishThings Hope you enjoy it!!! You didn't have that did you? It is different because it is the history of it, so I wasn't sure if you would count it or not lol 8y
rubyslippersreads 😍😍😍 8y
CrowCAH @BooksTeasAndBookishThings correct, didn't have it; it won't be "counted" as part of the P&P copies/editions, since it's a celebration of the book, but it will be added to the larger Jane Austen/P&P collection! Thank you so much!!! ☺️ 8y

BooksTeasAndBookishThings Yes! I read your email after lol. But, so glad it is new to you! That makes me happy ❤️ Thank YOU 😊 8y
LeahBergen Oooo!! I love that book sleeve (and think I need one! Where did you get it, @BooksTeasAndBookishThings ?) 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen https://www.etsy.com/listing/514580615/jane-austen-book-cover-quote-book-sleeve 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen this is a large 😊 8y
LeahBergen @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Do you find that a large fits a good-sized hardcover? I'm undecided between this one and finding one with a "book" pattern on it. Have you found any of those on your book sleeve travels? ? 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen I have. This one does not have foam padding which means it is a bit flexible. It actually fits a Hardback of ACOMAF which is one of my biggest hardbacks, but I will put a few links of the book ones in case you want options. 😊 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1269950084 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings It sold out, but she takes custom orders ^ 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1249305580 and same for this one. 8y
LeahBergen @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Hmm... that last link didn't work. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen aww, it works when I click on it. Maybe because it is from the app? This is the last one, and again, she makes custom orders. https://www.etsy.com/listing/504085110/blue-books-book-sleeve-one-size-ready-to 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen https://www.etsy.com/listing/505263372/rorys-books-book-sleeve-indie-size?ref=sh... 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Try it now? ^ and if you go to her reviews, you can see a couple of others, that one just has a great list because it is from Rory's list on Gilmore Girls 😊 (edited) 8y
LeahBergen @BooksTeasAndBookishThings It worked! Thank you so much! 😘 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LeahBergen absolutely ❤️ 8y

This tribute to Pride and Prejudice was lovely and quite informative! It has some gorgeous illustrations and extensive lists of adaptations (both book and film). If you love Austen's most famous novel and want know about its history, this is the book for you!
