- literary description of Persuasion, Jane Austen (via persuasionperfection)
People who have never read any Jane Austen could easily write her work off as sugary romance literature enjoyed only by overly-sentimental women. Those people are missing out.
I love a good epic/adventure/fantasy as much as the next person but Jane Austen makes the every day events that…
“I do not understand you.”
“Then we are on very unequal terms, for I understand you perfectly well.”
“Me?—yes; I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.”
- Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey (via purpleterpsichore)
- from Persuasion by Jane Austen (via laurenarlyle)
“Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You shewed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.”
