‘Emma’ Film Review: A Delightful (but Slightly Flawed) Visual Banquet

March 17, 2020 By Haley 10 Comments

The very short list of good things resulting from this pandemic are people making their own bread, more time to read, and the new adaptation of Emma being released to stream in your living room. Yes, dear reader, Universal has heard your cries for Jane Austen and if you didn’t see it the movie theatre before they closed, you don’t have to wait for this viral outbreak to be over to watch Emma. … [Read more...]

Some Jane Austen Love for Her Bicentennial!

July 18, 2017 By Haley 3 Comments

Why Do We Still Love Jane Austen? // Carrots for Michaelmas

It's been 200 years since Jane Austen left this earth, and yet her novels are still relevant, beloved, and widely read. Janeites aren't going anywhere anytime soon (just check out this guy and his amazing Regency apparel). To honor dear Miss Austen, I thought I'd link to a few of the pieces I've written here at Carrots about one of my favorite writers of all time. Why Do We Still Love Jane … [Read more...]

Which Jane Austen Novel Should I Read First?

January 11, 2017 By Haley 46 Comments

Is there a certain order to read Jane Austen's novels? I think yes!

“I’ve never read Jane Austen! Which one should I start with?” As an obsessed Janeite, this is definitely one of the most frequently asked questions I get. While I’m of the opinion that you really can’t go wrong choosing a first Austen because all six novels are splendid, I do think there’s an ideal order for most new readers to discover Austen’s novels. So at the risk of sounding terribly bossy … [Read more...]

Want to Know Yourself Better? Jane Austen Is Here to Help.

March 15, 2016 By Haley 26 Comments

Do You Know Yourself? Maybe Jane Austen Can Help.

image: Jennifer Ehle in ‘Pride and Prejudice’/Image © BBC Every time I re-read Miss Austen’s novels (ahem, every single year), I find something I hadn’t noticed before.  I uncover another layer with each return to her works and this year what I’m most drawn to is the theme of self-knowledge. I’m not alone in considering Austen to be a philosopher and she follows in the footsteps of the ancients … [Read more...]

Miniseries Monday: Jane Austen’s Emma

October 8, 2012 By Haley 17 Comments

Welcome to the second Miniseries Monday! I'm Ellie, Haley is my best friend, and we love each other partly because of and through our mutual love of miniseries. And musicals. We also love musicals. We discussed it and decided that Miniseries Monday would be pretty loosely arranged. Last time we did a comparison between three versions of Jane Eyre. Two were feature films, and only one was a … [Read more...]
