Jane Austen @ 250 Ep. 1: Miss Austen Makes Her Debut
Two hundred and fifty years ago in the English county of Hampshire, on a snowy December day, a baby girl was born. That baby would grow up to be Jane Austen, and she would go on to write six iconic novels that would forever change literary history.This is episode 1 of JANE AUSTEN @ 250, a series from the 2am Book Review Club celebrating the life and work of Jane Austen. *Episode correction:* My character count is missing Robert Ferrars, who is not only integral to the plot but who also appears in several notable scenes. It was not in fact Mrs. Jennings' relatives who were my downfall, but Fanny Dashwood's. Considering her characterization in "Sense and Sensibility"... I can't say I'm surprised.Musical Credits:Concerto No. 5, 1st movement, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, CC BY-SA 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons.Contredanse No. 2, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, CC BY-SA 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons.All other music comes from pixabay.Tune for exciting book-related content every week here on the podcast, and be sure to also check out the companion Youtube channel: The 2am Book Review Club Youtube channel.
