Scallydandling about the books | Jane Austen July reflections @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 33 minutes ago.
Tilly @tillysshelf and I share our highlights from Jane Austen July. Why is Northanger Abbey a favourite for Tilly and not me? Did Tilly really read Sense and Sensibility twice in July? Can we persuade people not to be so hard on Emma? Was Austen influenced by Tristram Shandy? Is Becky Sharp a tribute to Lucy Steele? Plus more hate for the 2022 adaptation of Persuasion.

Books mentioned:
Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Emma and Austen's Letters.
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
A Fine Brush On Ivory by Richard Jenkyns
What Matters In Jane Austen by John Mullan
