Jane Austen Society of Australia
Австралия
Добавлен 7 авг 2022
The Jane Austen Society of Australia is a member-based association founded in 1989 to bring together lovers and admirers of Jane Austen in this part of the world. We number academics and scholars amongst our members, but we are mostly enthusiastic amateurs who meet to discuss the genius of Austen and to explore the era that gave rise to her.
Although based in Sydney, we have members in all states of Australia and overseas, and we warmly welcome visitors to our events.
We produce regular publications, have a member’s library, and sell Austen-inspired items through our Regency Fair stall at meetings.

“There was a great deal of needlework to be done.” presented by Pamela Whalan
The young people of Mansfield Park are not deliberately unkind to Fanny Price, but they are so absorbed in their own frivolous lives that they do not consider how great a burden of responsibility and hard work they place on her. When they decide to put on a play it is Fanny who does the bulk of the sewing involved as well as hearing lines and running errands.
The actors have no understanding or appreciation of the work she does. We can understand and appreciate the character of Fanny Price through looking at the great deal of needlework she has to do.

Fathers in Jane Austen

The fathers in Jane Austen’s novels generally play a key role in the destinies of their daughters, often leaving them dependent upon their individual foibles and character. The failures and weaknesses displayed by these men are often integral to the situations of the women in the novels. What does this say about the merits of male inheritance and power in Jane Austen’s world? Recorded from a Zo...

Such Different Accounts of you: Representations of Darcy on Screen - Harriet Jordan
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
When Colin Firth's Mr Darcy emerged from a lake in 1995, membership of Jane Austen Societies across the world skyrocketed. Then, in 2005, Matthew Macfadyen's Darcy flexed his hand. But even before Laurence Olivier's Darcy picked up a bow and arrow in 1940, readers of Pride and Prejudice were entranced by Fitzwilliam Darcy, who wrote a letter in Austen’s novel published over a hundred years earl...

Miguel Angel Jordan, 'Jane in Spain: How Austen Changed my Life'
Просмотров 869 месяцев назад
Twenty years ago Miguel’s eye was caught by the cover of a library book - it featured Gwyneth Paltrow holding a cup of tea. He’d seen that picture on a movie poster, so decided to give the novel a chance. (Members will remember that it was the 1996 Hollywood adaptation of Emma.) What he could not imagine was that this choice would change his life completely. The Jane Austen Society of Australia...
Jane Austen’s False Friends: Isabella Thorpe, her Precursors and her Successors
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Jane Austen had a special gift for portraying reprehensible characters, male and female. Her false friends form a special female subset. This paper will focus on Northanger Abbey’s Isabella Thorpe, the falsest friend of all in Austen’s novels, while also considering some of the predecessors and successors in works ranging from Love and Freindship and Catharine, or The Bower to Mansfield Park.

A Scandalous Diary presented by Judy Stove
Просмотров 71Год назад
A Scandalous Diary: The Grand Tours of Anna Jameson (1794 - 1860) Anna Jameson worked as a young governess in the years directly after Austen’s death. Readers of Austen will know that the role of governess could be a daunting prospect, as it was for Jane Fairfax in Emma: it represented thankless drudgery around the clock, coupled with ambiguous social status. Yet there could be compensations. I...

Our speaker this time is Suzanne Falkiner, who tells us all about French naval officer Louis de Freycinet and his wife Rose Pinon, a modest schoolteacher’s daughter, gently raised, but without fortune or connections. In the same year that Jane Austen died, Rose dressed herself in men’s clothing and set off to accompany her husband on a scientific expedition to the southern hemisphere. Although ...
What a fun, informative presentation! Thank you for posting.
As a great fan of Jane Austin & a lover of sewing since childhood, I enjoyed this immensely & found it very humorous. Looking forward to more.
Not everybody is autistic 😂
This was fun...emo Darcy for the win
Absolutely loved this presentation. It would be fascinating to see the versions of Elizabeth analysed, too.
thanks for uploading this.
Fascinating!
😊
Thank you Harriet - how nice to actually see your face after all this time! I will now look for other presentations on RUclips. Love your podcast.
Great talks!
I have been following your podcast for years. So it was lovely to see your presentation.
👏
A very compelling analysis of Mr Bennett! Thank you😊
Very interesting point that the country at the time had an absent/inept father. I’d not thought of that before.
Brilliant:)
Promo*SM
Yes please to another adaptation but please God, not a woke Darcy! 😢😢😢🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
A clever and very apt title for the talk, to!
Delightful and insightful, Harriet.
What a brilliant talk! So much to consider and so much to enjoy as a Janeite amonst Janeites! Thanks for introducing us to new Darcys and new interpretations of Darcy. Looking forward to re-viewing them all with this new and insightful information.
Wonderful presentation Harriet.
I once saw a play were they presented him as extremely autistic. I like autistic men, but it was still surprising. Brilliant talk! Colin Furth is just prefect. <3
Wonderful Harriet... I have now subscribed to the Jane Austen Society Australia you tube and can now catch up on all the speakers I have missed. Thank you JASA for making them available online. Stephanie.
That poor Dog in the 80's version looks like he's trying to warn everyone
👏
I don’t agree that Isabella Thorpe is the “anti-heroine” of Northanger Abbey. An example of an anti-heroine, in my opinion, is Lady Susan, from Austen’s story of the same name.
Wow! Should be interesting.
If Jane Austen was still alive today, she would atleast familiar with the phenomenon of "false friends," which is still very much present within today's society.
Thank you for uploading this & greetings from Germany 😊
The theme of false friends is certainly one Austen used a lot, although I don't know that I would include Emma in the list. Unlike Isabella Thorpe, Lucy Steele, and Mary Crawford, Emma was not scheming for personal financial advantage. As an example of false male friendship, the relationship of John Thorpe and James Morland certainly qualifies, as the relationship of the Captains Wentworth, Harville, and Benwick gives us an example of true male friendship. In fact, if one searches through Austen's work there are many people who are not just false friends, but false in every way.
I agree about Emma - she's not really a false friend, just a misguided friend to Harriet, and she's a wonderful friend to Mrs Weston. Yes, Jane Austen gives us some fabulously false characters, and such a contrast with truly good characters. (Susannah, JASA President)
Is the friendship between Thorpe and Morland false? I wouldn’t have thought so. I don’t see what either has to gain from the friendship, other than the pleasure of one another’s company. Just because Thorpe is a clod with the ladies doesn’t mean that other men might not like him.
@@GradKat I doubt John Thorpe has a "friend" he has not selected with a view to what he can make out of that person. The fact that he is not smart enough to realize that the Morland family is not wealthy doesn't change the falsity of his professions of friendship.
