JANE AUSTEN Gift Guide | What to Buy an Austen Fan

[@deanblanton6804]

If you love Jane Austen's novels and want to read novels in the same vein, try Elizabeth Gaskell. Novels include North and South, Wives and Daughters, Cranford, and Ruth!

[@Mary-fy8qi]

North and South is one of my absolute fav classics! Especially as a P&P fan!

[@alexandradavies6669]

Oh, man. This is the first of your videos I've seen and I love your screen presence! You're so happy and fun, I love it! And I've been making copious notes! Also, I've got to say I love Georgette Heyer as another Jane Austen-like writer. :)

[@angelakneller2880]

I’m a huge Jane Austen fan love her books! Love the movies and tv dramas, I’ve just ordered a couple of Jane Austen devotional: the new one is praying with Jane and it’s out 2nd Nov. I also have several cross stitches of Jane Austen and Jane Austen characters though mainly pride and prejudice. Have u ever played the ha match making card game? Plus I had a Jane Austen regency style wedding dress, walked out of the church to Mrs Darcy from 2005 p&p film. And had a barn dance instead of a disco!! I also hate when they get the era confused with Victorian and regency xx just subscribed x

I love your hair

I think a really great edition to Jane Austen's books are the barnes and noble collectible flexibound versions. They're really pretty. So far they only have Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion. But their version of Emma is said be releasing on January 28th. Aside from that, both Canterbury Classics and Barnes and Noble have bind up versions of all 6 of Austen's novels together that also look real pretty and are leather bound.

Lady Susan is included in the clothbound Penguin "Love and Friendship" (along with some of her juvenilia), which is a rather pretty edition!

[@BaileeWalsh]

I love Fanny Price! Wow! I don't think I've seen those annotated editions! Those look amazing! Love your sweater!

[@marianne218]

I recommend Jane Austen: The Banker’s Sister by E. J. Clery. It’s about Jane’s relationship with her brother Henry, who inspired some characters especially Henry Crawford. Also, I agree John Mullan’s book is fantastic!

[@elizabethwooten7672]

Look up the Folio Society editions of Jane Austen's novels, they're beautiful!

[@miranda8598]

Thanks!

[@kevinrussell1144]

I second what this "Lizzie" recommended. The Folio editions are a boxed set, with Red or pink/blue hardbound covers, and there ARE seven volumes. I think Jane "reads" better from a hardback.

[@sarahbabcock8188]

I really enjoyed _A Jane Austen Education_ Author (male) goes through the different things he learned about himself through reading each of the novels. He makes some very insightful comments about the novels along the way. For me personally it was interesting because he tells of his encounters with Jane Austen in grad school and writing his dissertation about her.

[@karthikaknk]

I loved your review ❤ I loved the annotated versions by David M Shapard. One of the best annotations

[@nilulal545]

You seem so delighted talking about Jane Austen. 💞 this was a very beautiful video,I enjoyed it. Love her books.

[@blackcatseye22]

Another favorite edition that I don’t own is The Collectors Library Edition.

[@the_bookish_took5348]

Oh, I love this video!! And I loved that you included Austenland! I just finished the second- Midnight at Austenland- today! It was so much fun and it had a Northanger Abbey set up!

[@cheshirekat528]

Have you ever seen the World Cloud Classics editions?

[@colleenabarker814]

May I ask where you got your sweater? It is SO lovely!

[@rimbluebooks]

In my country they print variety of Jane Austen's covers am slowly collecting those (not all of them are pretty though)

[@GinaBlythe]

Just found you and just suscribed, but a couple Christmases ago, I got Edgar and Emma by Robert Rodi. It is really quite good and, while NOT an exact duplicate of her story (it was a brief essay Ms. Austen wrote and this author completed it), it is quite good and I recommend it.

[@denisadellinger]

Thanks for the recommends. There are a few you mentioned that I would like to have. The field is wide open and if you're not careful, your pocketbook will be completely open as well. Any Janeite knows the value of the serious books and the fun books. I have read a lot of the adaptations but they all seem to leave me with a weird taste in my mouth, no one can write her characters like she can. There are a few that are really good, I will go back, get their titles and post. You may enjoy them.

[@josephinewinter]

you aren't just a fan, you're an authority! And thanks for putting me onto mansfield park quotes

[@carissavietti4231]

have you ever watched the Lizzie Bennett diaries? if so, what are your thoughts about the series?

[@telsataylor2032]

I’m getting ane Austen Collection, Deluxe Box Gift Set: Containing: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield, Northanger Abbey books I hope the text using to small with me being partially sighted.

[@galzehavi474]

I can’t find the penguin Jane Austen white books . Where I can buy them?💗

[@isabelnoyer5893]

Hey there! I'm new on the channel... I was thinking of buying it, so I am really curious to ask... Could I please know what did you dislike about the annotations on the annotated P&P? I didn't not even contemplate getting the annotated Emma, maybe I should rethink the whole thing haha

[@capturedbyannamarie]

Penguin has come out with a tiny lady Susan clothbound ❤edition on its own.

[@GitanAnimex]

Does somebody know how many letters are in the Deirdre le Faye book??

[@veronicadonahue8451]

Okay, I now love your channel.

[@nikkisjourney4143]

Which book of hers should I start with?

[@YBizzy1]

Nikki Frenette sense and sensibility is really easy to start with ! Pride and prejudice is great as a second read

[@rosea2350]

Yes I would go in order of her publications

[@michellegleave7861]

There is a sequel to Austenland, I have never commented on a video before, but I will try to paste the book depository link to the book. www.bookdepository.com/Midnight-Austenland-Shannon-Hale/9781408840153

[@josephinewinter]

now i am very surprised there's no complete Jane Austen, i never knew and i think i know everything

[@josephinewinter]

Pride and Prejudice is the most fun and Persuasion is the most perfectly plotted novel, but very short and a novel that gains in poignancy with age - it's about a question, what would have happened?, that you will never know the answers to, so you both do and don't get the answer, but it's a novella and an old person's novel - looking back on your youthful mistakes. I'd read Pride & Prejudice, because it is the most fun. I often read it as a pick-me-up it's so happy. Some of her other books are bit half so-so... she died very young, so didn't get many chances
