To celebrate Austen in August, I though it would be fun to feature a Sunday Salon with an Austen theme.
Bellow are ten articles from around the Internet all about our dear Jane:
-The NYT’s Austen film guide: What Would Jane Watch?
-The Hairpin Ranks The Misters Darcy
-Pajiba goes a step further to rank all of Austen’s heroes. Things get pretty heated in the comments…
–Jane Austen at 200: Still a Friend and a Stranger via The Guardian
-According to HuffPost, Mr. Knightly is WAY Better Than Mr. Darcy– and I have to agree
-The Toast’s (RIP, sob) How To Tell If You’re in a Jane Austen Novel
-Jezebel’s I Almost Lost My Shit in Austenland asks “how much Jane is too much Jane?”
-The Stylist ponders if Jane Austen is the most influential woman of the last 200 years?
-The Washington Post controversially suggests Jane Austen died from arsenic poisoning
–Debating Jane’s Politics 200 Years Later at Vox
Do you have a favorite Austen article?

What a great post! Thank you for the Huff Post link: I loved the Darcy vs. Knightley essay. I just finished Northanger Abbey, and I think Henry Tilney is better than either of them!

Henry Tilney is pretty amazing. He’s been my favorite at times for sure!

This is quite a sweet little Austen video that came out on the BBC in the past few weeks – http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20170810-if-jane-austen-characters-used-dating-apps – have you seen it?
I’m not sure about Mr. Knightley being better than Mr. Darcy ( as in he’s amazing, but he does have a crush on the woman he saw as a baby, so it’s a tiny bit weird)?

Omg that video was adorable-thanks for sharing!
I definitely try not to think about that weird/icky aspect of the Emma/Mr. Knightley relationship…
