I saw this video on Jane Austen's legacy on YouTube when it was fist posted. I meant to share it here on my blog at that time. Better late than never, I suppose!!
The above segment is a nice tribute to Jane Austen's legacy 250 years after her birth. Jane Austen contributed so much to the world of literature. It's nice to see her being honored today.
It's also astounding to think she only made the equivalent of $70,000 to $80,000 dollars over the course of her lifetime. Jane Austen's characters were consumed with finding financial security, yet Jane Austen died in relative poverty.
I encourage you to watch the above video to learn more about Jane Austen's life, if you are so inclined.
What a wonderful imagination and talent she had!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! Jane Austen had a lot of talent. Too bad we don't have more published novels written by her.
DeleteWhat a great video. Thanks for that. I might repost that, if I may.
ReplyDeleteAs I'm participating in the #Reading Austen Project (https://theclassicsclubblog.wordpress.com/2024/08/19/reading-austen-2025/) I just finished reading a wonderful biography by Lucy Worsley, if anyone is interested.
