The Divine Jane

I just watched the short video below on Jane Austen and loved it. I always love to hear other people's opinions on Jane - particularly men. It is so rare to find a man who has not only read Jane Austen but appreciates her novels. I hate it when people refer to them as "chick lit."

One of these days I'm going to take a course on Jane Austen. I would love to be shut in a room with fellow Janeites and talk for several hours about her novels. Hopefully, at whatever future college I work, there will be such a course.

In the meantime, I have videos like this to get me thinking.

(And let me say, too, that I think it is entirely possible to take Jane too seriously.)
