A Day of Small Things | A Play That Influenced Sense & Sensibility // Jane Austen July 2024 @adayofsmallthings | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I read The Rivals (1775) by Richard Brinsley Sheridan for this year's Jane Austen July and learnt about the influence of theatre on Jane Austen's writing, especially on her novel Sense and Sensibility. In this video, I introduce Sheridan, The Rivals and pick out a couple of similarities between the two works. Enjoy!
