Kell Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 All six of Jane Austen's novels will be read in order of publication, starting a new one every other month: [/font]Jan / Feb - Sense and Sensibility (1811) Mar / Apr - Pride and Prejudice (1813) May / June - Mansfield Park (1814) July / Aug - Emma (1816) Sep / Oct - Persuasion (1818) (posthumous) Nov / Dec - Northanger Abbey (1818) (posthumous) As these books are out of copyright, you can download them FREE as audio or e-books: Sense and Sensibility audio book at Librivox / e-book at Project Gutenberg Pride and Prejudiceaudio book at Librivox / e-book at Project Gutenberg Mansfield Parkaudio book at Librivox / e-book at Project Gutenberg Emmaaudio book at Librivox / e-book at Project Gutenberg Persuasionaudio book at Librivox / e-book at Project Gutenberg Northanger Abbeyaudio book at Librivox / e-book at Project Gutenberg They are also available cheaply by several publishers (for example Wordsworth Classics) and second-hand from various shops and websites (such as Green Metropolis). A thread will be opened for each of the books in turn as they are read. I hope you'll all enjoy reading these books and discussing them together! For those who are interested in reading more, there are also Jane Austen's Juvenilia collection: - The Three Sisters - Love and Freindship (the misspelling of "friendship" in the title is famous) - The History of England - Catharine, or the Bower - The Beautifull Cassandra - Jack and Alice - Frederic and Elfrida - A Collection of Letters Also her collection of shorter works: - Lady Susan (novella) - The Watsons (incomplete novel; Austen's niece, Catherine Hubback, completed The Watsons and published it under the title The Younger Sister in the mid-nineteenth century.) - Sanditon (final novel fragment) ~~*~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 In case anyone's interested, the BBC have made a three-part adaptation of Sense and Sensibility (the first book on our reading list). The first pat will be showing on BBC1 at 9pm on Friday 4 January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
