Dear Jane Austen [E] A letter about what I would say to Jane Austen and how much I appreciate her. |
Hi Megan Rose! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you! Wow! This is an absolutely beautiful expression that shows so clearly your regard for Jane Austen and her works! I think she would love to receive such a letter. I enjoyed how you explained the various ways we have to day to share her books-- like the internet and movies-- ways that she would not ever have imagined. It was in a simple manner and terms that she might understand, given her time in history. The structure is solid with each paragraph revealing a different theme or idea of how Jane is perceived in our world through a variety of venues. It was pleasant to read and the charming soft positive tone was effective. I wonder if she would have been keen to know that men also enjoyed her work, but then she knew her brother and father must have. You could even add more detail on what we learned from reading her work and why so many still read her today. She might wonder about that--as we are so modern. The letter format is relevant and I could tell I was reading one as you neatly weave in your own experiences with and opinions of the Austen phenomena. I think she would be so thrilled to learn that there are shops and festivals but that you personally honour her right here at WDC and inspire a fan club. I love the word Janeite! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful tribute and letting her know what you feel. I am sure in spirit she may be aware and smiling! Light on the path as you write on! eyestar ** Image ID #1815342 Unavailable ** My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
