‘Austen’s mapped worlds remind us that geography is never neutral. It shapes choices, relationships and power’. Her novels ask a question still urgent today: ‘where, and how freely, can women move?’ Another superb piece in @uk.theconversation.com by my doctoral student @nadasaadaoui.bsky.social 📚🍃

Jane Austen was a satirist – why isn’t she treated like one?
Although many women writers were critiquing society in the 18th century, hardly any of them were considered satirists.

In an age where walking is once again praised for its physical and mental benefits, #JaneAusten's fiction reminds us that these virtues are not new. Her characters have been walking for centuries.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen adaptations come in generational waves. The 2020s have produced 'Sanditon,' 'Emma,' and 'Persuasion,' with 'Pride & Prejudice' on the way. Now 'Sense & Sensibility' is too.
