About Me

I love to write about my life and times. I do not at all like femenists, I thnk they are want of sense, and have too much prejudice against their counterparts of the female sex. I have written a few famous books that I suppose, have done tollerably well. I have never married, but hopefully men of this time enjoy an older woman.

My Interests

Writing stories and letters to my family (especially dear Cassandra), painting, playing the piano forte, and discussing current events of politics and polite society. I also adore my many nephews and nieces, they give me such comfor in my age and sickness.

I'd like to meet:

The Bronte Sisters and many of my characters if they were real.

Music:

I enjoy listening to Mozart and composers of the like. Dario Marianelli did a fine job on the Pride and Prejudice film!

Movies:

Books:

Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Sandition, Northanger Abbey, Emma, and Mansfield Park.

Heroes:

I find the characters in my novels, male and female, to be my heroes. Whether it is dear Elizabeth Bennet, or even Col. Brandon- I adore them all and think so highly of them.

My Blog

An Insult to myself? I know not.

A little video made called Mr. Willoughby. I do not know if I should be offended or not. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual &videoid=1192347430...

Movie about My life

Some of you may or may not have heard of this new "Jane Austen Movie" that is currently in production. With all of the many movie adaptations of my novels, it comes to me as no surprise. T...

The movie has arrived

The new adaptation has been released today. It is very true to my own writing. Though I do enjoy the BBC adaptation, this one is just as well done, if not better in terms of production.&nb...

Pride and Prejudice the Movie

So I am anxious to see the film adaptation of my novel, "Pride and Prejudice," which comes out shortly. I hope it will be successful, and not too vulgar. Any thoughts?
