Jane Austen and English Literature Generally
This group is dedicated to English Literature generally in addition to the works of Jane Austen who wrote the following novels (dates of publication in brackets)
Sense and Sensibility (1811)
Pride and Prejudice (1813)
Mansfield Park (1814)
Emma (1815)
Persuasion (1817 posthumously)
Northanger Abbey (1817 posthumously)
What is expected are articles and comments about English Literature and its authors, including Jane Austen's novels, her life and the society of the time, the movies adapted from her novels (although those of other novels may find their way to the Movies and TV - Classic to Current group), your experiences relating to her novels and their movie adaptations, and in fact anything else relevant to English Literature.
This is a change from the original intent of this group, but as originally proposed it has become too restrictive, so it required expansion to cover broader interests.
The Code of Conduct and Terms of Service must be complied with.
Anything posted about current politics or religion not relevant to Jane Austen and/or the English Literature topics that are posted as comments will be deleted as "off topic".
The administrator reserves the right to delete any comment he considers to be offensive, off topic or of no value.
Videos or images or links to sources that the Administration cannot open must be described or explained when requested or they will be deleted.
