U.K. celebrates Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary
This is because the 250th anniversary of Austen is marked by costume events through Great Britain, where his most dedicated fans come together to dress in the Garb Regency done by hand and share their enthusiasm for the work of the pioneering novelist.
“It looks like a comic strip by Jane Austen, a Jane Austen convention. So, it’s cool to make a geek with other Jane Austen’s Nerds,” said Amy Chagnon, an English secondary school teacher from San Diego, in NBC News last month in the gardens of what is known today under the name of Jane’s House, the final cottage in cotton Cumulation in the south of England in the south of the final life.
His six novels were written or revised in the sunny rooms of the house. Today, it’s a key stop for pilgrims like Chagnon and a focal point for birthday celebrations.
Wearing a high-waisted gray dress housing under a lace parasol, Chagnon, 40, visited Austen sites across the United Kingdom, she said that she was inspired by both the stories of the author and her life.
Austen was born in December 1775, just a few months before the annoying American colonies of Great Britain declared their independence.
“The voice of Austen is centered on a lived experience and takes us into the minds and emotions of her characters. She explores feelings, conflicts, little things, but the little things that make and shape our lives,” said Lizzie Dunford, director of Jane Austen’s house, in an interview.
“This is why people in 1813 could read these novels and feel:” This woman speaks to me. And that is why people of today can read these novels and say: “This woman speaks to me”. Because it takes you so deep into the interior worlds of its characters. “”
“Pride and Prejudice” sold more than 20 million copies over two centuries and has never been exhausted since its first publication in 1813, said Dunford.
“I want to tell you that I have my own darling child from London,” Austen wrote to his sister by receiving his first copy of the book.
A new Netflix adaptation is currently in production. The giant in streaming announced in July that Emma Corrin, who previously played Princess Diana in “The Crown”, would play as Bennet, while Oscar’s winner, Olivia Colman, would play her anxious mother. He followed the 2005 cinematic version with Keira Knightley and a BBC production in 1995 which helped launch the career of Colin Firth.
Celebrations to mark the birthday of the birth of Austen are planned throughout the year in places in the United Kingdom, notably Bath and Winchester, the city near Chawton which houses its last rest, which opened its doors to the public for the first time. Several events have also been planned by the Jane Austen Society of North America.
