Janeites: Austen's Disciples and Devotees | Deidre Lynch
25 posts | 2 to read
This study explores the phenomenon of the "Janeite"--The zealous reader and fan of Jane Austen whose devotion to her novels has been frequently invoked and often derided by the critical establishment. The text asks what Janeites do and explores the myriad appropriations of Austen.

#Pemberlittens thank you so much for the great feedback and suggestions for our #JaneAdjacent subgroup! I will continue with monthly buddy reads but some may start later or earlier in the month depending on my schedule. I like having a monthly vote as it keeps things fresh and people engaged. I will throw into the mix a few other classic retellings for variation. This will be a very flexible group - jump in and out depending on your preference! ⬇️

StayCurious Book suggestions are always welcome. Book pace will depend on the length of the book and when we start it in the month. I‘d also like to do laid back movie discussions since there are so many Jane productions out there. For our next vote click here: https://forms.gle/Y6dK88Ae7ewR96nY7 12mo

willaful Sherry Thomas is one of my favs so it was easy for me. :-) 12mo

TheAromaofBooks Oh my gosh, another slew of fun choices!! Voted - but it was tough!! 12mo
rubyslippersreads Voted! Hard to choose, but I picked a book I already own. 😊 12mo
julieclair Voted! But I‘ll be happy to read any of these great choices! 12mo
IndoorDame Voted! I think movie discussions would be a super fun addition! And I did end up going through my TBR, but the only adaptations on there right now are ones the #pemberlittens read a while back and especially enjoyed that I didn‘t join in on. I‘ll let you know if I stumble across anything else that looks fun though ☺️ 12mo
Larkken Voted! Thanks for the tag! I like the idea of movie chats 😊 12mo
CrowCAH @StayCurious and @BarkingMadRead I believe last year, 2023, you two took over for the PemberLittens tag after @sprainedbrain stepped down, because it became a bit much for her, and started JaneAdjacent. Is there a way to be tagged for future votes on JA inspired reads? I know even for myself with being pregnant and now having my daughter, I wasn‘t participating too much on Litsy last year, but I‘m trying to get back into it. 11mo
BarkingMadRead @CrowCAH I am doing the classics, @staycia doing the Jane adjacent 😍 congrats on your baby girl!! 11mo
CrowCAH @BarkingMadRead thanks on both accounts! ☺️ Yes, I‘m raising a little reader! 📖 11mo
StayCurious @CrowCAH congratulations! Of course I will add you to my main tag list! 11mo
CrowCAH @StayCurious thank you ☺️ 11mo

@sprainedbrain and I so excited for everyone to open their swap packages tomorrow, but we are concerned there are a few #JaneAustenSwap participants who still don‘t have a package.

If you are tagged, could you please give a tracking update to let your match know when to expect their parcel? Thank you! ❤️

BookishMe Waiting for yours and @sprainedbrain to unbox your JAS packages ;D 7y
sprainedbrain @BookishMe I was too busy looking at everyone‘s stuff this morning before work... I will open mine as soon as I get home this evening. Hopefully our last few people will receive their parcels today. It‘s giving me anxiety! 7y

Attention, Janeites:

We are loving seeing all of the swap-related posts, but there are a few people we haven‘t heard from yet.

If you‘re tagged, @mabell and I haven‘t heard from you yet! Please respond to your #JaneAustenSwap match email. If we don't hear from you by 8 pm, we will have to take drastic measures... because everyone deserves a match who is all in. 😃

Deadline is Friday 4/6 at 8 pm Central US time.

Thanks, all!

JanJan I will sign up, if you need an extra person! I meant to, but I missed the deadline. 7y

1. Classic: Jane Austen (duh), Modern: changes all the time, but currently Sarah J Maas
2. Night in with a book, but it's good to get out with friends every now and then too.
3. Tudor or WWII and lately the American Revolution has been my jam.
