8. Do you get hate on fics? I’m not popular enough for this hahahaha

Jane Austen Charted #15

How Wealthy are the Jane Austen Heroines?

(This turned into a long post)

Women in Jane Austen’s novels have two kinds of wealth, fortunes which seem to be guaranteed to already accompany them into marriage, like Emma’s 30k or Elinor & Marianne Dashwoods’ 1k which they have already received from their uncle, and then eventual inheritance, like Elizabeth’s 1k that she will receive after the death of both of her parents. Here are the sums:

And the explanation of each amount:

Anne Elliot’s amount is disputed because of how the text is worded, she is either getting 10,000 or 1/3 of that amount. Here is the quote: who could give his daughter at present but a small part of the share of ten thousand pounds which must be hers hereafter. (Ch 24) It will be paid upon her father’s death.

As to the amount, I usually think it’s 1/3 of 10k. Knowing Sir Walter’s character, and that his wife was not a trade heiress but the daughter of a country gentleman, I think Lady Elliot’s dowry being ten thousand, and Sir Walter never adding to it seems pretty likely. He probably assumed that his children would marry well based on beauty and rank alone.

As for Emma, we don’t know what is going to happen to Hartfield. The fact that John Knightley has a job and isn’t just living off Isabella’s fortune until they inherit makes me think it might be going to Emma (as opposed to how Mary and Charles Musgrove are living), but that is speculation and may also be based in a difference in personality. It is equally possible that the plan was for Spinster Emma to live there with John and Isabella. Also, Emma is counting on her sister’s eldest son to inherit Donwell, not Hartfield, which is another clue that it’s going to Emma, not Isabella.

It seems to me that the best marriage prospects would be those who have a fortune now, not when their parents die. Certainly with men, those who are the most eligible have already come into their fortunes. 

Also, the Dashwoods and Anne Elliot are in a far safer financial position if their remaining parent dies, as they have a decent, though not large income on their own. The three Dashwood sisters could continue to live at Barton cottage and maintain themselves if they worked together.

So how do the heroines compare to other ladies:

The richest two women are Anne de Bourgh, who will inherit Rosings, and Sophia Grey, the future Mrs. Willoughby. Given that Mrs. Jennings, who is from trade, knows Sophia’s relations, we can assume that Sophia is a trade heiress. Depending on what Emma Woodhouse receives when her father dies, she may be as wealthy as both of them.

From the novels, the breakdown of fortune attractiveness:

Nothing - Nothing is bad. However, I have a strong suspicion that this can mean actually nothing or something like Jane Fairfax with a few hundred pounds. Lucy Steele and Isabella Thorpe probably have actually nothing, but I doubt Mary Crawford when she says her friend who married a peer actually had zero pounds to her name. Miss Ross probably had nothing in comparison to Mary.

£1000 - Pretty much as bad as nothing. This isn’t enough for someone to maintain themselves in gentility. The Bennet sisters could pool their money and maybe be okay with their combined £250.

£3000 - Interesting that so many heroines have this amount. It seems like it’s a decent, but not great dowry. Respectable.

£10,000 - This number comes up A LOT in Jane Austen’s novels. We are told in Mansfield Park: Miss Maria Ward, of Huntingdon, with only seven thousand pounds, had the good luck to captivate Sir Thomas Bertram, of Mansfield Park... her uncle, the lawyer, himself, allowed her to be at least three thousand pounds short of any equitable claim to it. From this statement and context from the other novels, 10k seems like the basic “good” fortune. Minimum entry to expect an eldest son match.

£20,000 - This is a big fortune, go after a Mr. Darcy or a Tom Bertram the future baronet kind of money. I don’t get the impression that either Caroline Bingley or Mary Crawford are supposed to be seen as delusional for thinking they can marry where they aim for. It’s more about the guy not liking them than unrealistic expectations. 

£30,000 + Filthy rich

Also, I really wish we knew more fortune numbers! What did Lady Middleton and Mrs. Palmer have? What was an acceptable dowry for a Miss Bertram? (my guess is at least 10k) What did Charlotte Lucas have? (I suspect not much better than Elizabeth, if not worse)

One of the perks of being a teacher is that my summers are mostly full of professional development, travel, and reading all the books I didn't have the time to during the school year. As next summer will be mainly dedicated to my master's degree, I thought it'd be fun to do a little book review from the month of June.

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross--Such a delight to read, Ross's prose is sheer poetry and immerses you in characters rich with conflict, emotion, and resilience. The world is an interesting twist on the Hades/Persephone myth but told from the perspective of the mortals whose doomed romance has wreaked havoc upon them in the midst of a WWI-type setting. And while I'm not opposed to more explicit romance, I really appreciated the way Ross was able to evoke such an intimate and deeply felt romance without relying on heavy sex scenes. 10/10

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke--This is actually one of my childhood favorites, and I reread it often. I adore the father-daughter duo of Mo and Meggie, their eccentric, no-nonsense book-loving Aunt Elinor, and the mysterious fire-eater Dustfinger. The prose is immersive yet simple, and it is just the book to read with a steaming cup of tea. 9.5/10

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros--I have a special fondness for historical fiction, especially those set in WW2. I was surprised as I thought Yarros only wrote fantasy, but she can break your heart any day with her romances. While I found the modern-day couple of Noah and Georgia rather charming, the dual storyline of Jameson and Scarlett stole my heart. I've never been a huge fan of insta-love, but living on borrowed time in the midst of a war-torn world is one of my only exceptions. I cried my eyes out when I finished the book for a solid ten minutes, but it does have a surprising twist with a bittersweet ending. 9/10.

When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn--Oh Bridgerton, you guilty pleasure you. I've actually been working my way through the series, and this one was probably my favorite. While Quinn is certainly no Jane Auston, and while there are certain aspects of the book that are...problematic, it was undeniably entertaining. I do adore the tropes of second-chance romance, and it touches on the rarely-addressed subject of infertility in the 1800s. I'd give it a solid 7/10.

I'm excited to read more in the month of July! @lantur (whose new novel you should go read, btw) recommended Ink Blood Sister Scribe, which I'm already in love with, as well as the sequel to Divine Rivals, Ruthless Vows. Happy reading! <3

𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝟬𝟬𝟭 : an intro to elinor .

the room felt so daunting — something strikingly different than the previous interview rooms they've stepped in before. aside from the camera, one singular lens pointed at the chair she currently occupied, and the blinding white - hot LEDs, there was something to it elinor just couldn't seem to shake. it wasn't about their work, no genuine storytelling could ever come about something like this. they wanted dirt, drama, intrigue ... anything to bring in the views. they could only do so much. honesty was the only thing she could allow herself to give. a musician didn't mean she was a performer, too.

              hands smoothing over her pants, pulling the sleeves of their cardigan over their hands despite the radiating stuffiness of the room, they began.

question     #1     …

" i'm elinor. twenty seven. i'm a musician. i was born in louisiana, a week earlier than my original due date, ain't that funny ? " you could hear the accent that bled through, one that seemed to only come out when talking about her family or on louisiana soil. moving a lot - whether it be boston or los angeles - has since watered down what used to be a slow, southern drawl. the pace has remained, but the pronunciation can only be offered in few and far between tidbits. " born at ochsner baptist hospital in new orleans. was supposed to be a vacation weekend, actually, something my parents did to de - stress. they seemed to stop doing that when i reached school age. work got to be a lot 'n their schedules didn't match up anymore, plus me in school 'n all ——— anyways. all's to say, i grew up in baton rouge. "

question     #2     …

" i'd like to say it's 'cause i'm qualified, but i'm sure there's gotta be some nepotism in there. my parents aren't a list celebs - you have to wait a minute or so for their names to finally show up on the credits, but they had friends, of course. there's also some good timing in there. fate, if you really wanna get all superstitious about it. " she could only shrug. " i originally thought i'd get into the production side of music - y'know, doing scores 'n shit for movies. i loved move scores as a kid. the one for atonement has to be one of the best ones to this day. everyone says it's intersteller and, don't get me wrong, 's good, but it's not my favorite. i adore danny elfman, trent reznor and atticus ross, john williams. pissed me off that they're all old white dudes, though. but, god, can they make a banger of a composition. " elinor laughed, a real, genuine laugh, one that contorted every feature upon their face into a knitted scrunch. it took nearly a minute for her to compose themselves.

" i love music. i love when music makes me feel things. i hate that i have to be a businessperson as well. i don't know jack shit about marketing, but i'm in too deep now to do anything else. " she picked at the skin surrounding her thumb, a nervous tic that seemed to manifest now more than ever. " where i am now is all because of chance. i posted a snippet of me lip syncing in my room to one of my songs i made on garageband — heart shaped smokes — y'know, one of those stupid songs you make when you have a crush on someone. tiktok loves music that has an okay - enough beat and something you can post an edit of your celeb crush to. 's kind of been an uphill battle from there. "

question     #3     …

" it sure helps that i don't have to do much heavy lifting to get the bills paid. my parents are those traditional pick yourself up by your bootstraps people, or whatever that person said, so it wasn't like i was born with a trust - just a college fund that i'm obviously grateful for. i worked as a barista for a few years post grad, some small cafe in boston. it kept the rent paid, but god, i hated smelling like coffee afterwards. i was exhausted, though, between that and studio sessions. i also did music lessons for a few kids, so i was kind of running on fumes for a while. that's the nicest part about where i am now ; i have my me time back. "

they adjusted themselves, shifting around while the chair suddenly felt very uncomfortable. " it sucks being recognized. i hate it, actually. i know that sounds dramatic, and i definitely don't want to lump in people who are genuinely nice and want to meet me — i still can't believe that aspect of it. it'll never be normal, i think. people feeling things because of my lyrics, my compositions, it's fucking insane i just ——— you fuck up once and it follows you like this demon, and somehow it overshadows all the good stuff that comes with a gig like this. i don't want to live like that. "

question     #4     …

" i needed a change of scenery, and moving to la for a reality show might have been the best opportunity i could get. i just have to be myself and then i'll get paid ? why the fuck would i not do that ? " their answer was suspiciously short, dichotomous to the length of their previous answers.

" melody seems cool. celebrity lawyer ? kind of sick. we get along fine. i don't expect us to be the best of friends, but it doesn't hurt to just be in good spirits with someone. daisy's also nice. tooth - rotting sweet sometimes, but i feel like she means well. plus, she's got one hell of a voice. i hope she does more with it — would be a shame to just tuck that talent away forever. maverick and kit are kind of in the same general category ... either fun as hell or a pain in my ass. mostly the former, thankfully, but god, can those two speak for hours. "

question     #5     …

" problematic to me ? " their hands itched, pulling their bottom lip between their teeth. a knee jerk reaction, something that mixed with the resounding grudge she still held against lola, urged her to mention the dancer by name, but she couldn't. not to her. eyes dropped to the floor, staring at the way their boot shifted against the tufted rug. " everyone's got their own shit going on, i dunno. kit might be physically problematic. he already nearly blew up a toaster. otherwise, i feel like xander's got his head far up his own ass. might be like pulling teeth to get anything out of him. "

question     #6     …

" you're really gonna make me answer this, huh ? " a chuckle, bordering on more of a scoff, head shaking in disbelief. " i don't know, uh ——— " visible discomfort, nothing serious, just the awkwardness that came with it. even so, they truly tried to think, nearly popping a blood vessel on mental fortitude alone. " maybe kit and melody, if he doesn't scare her away with how fast he could possibly talk. maybe she's into that, i don't know her too well yet. but she's nice, good head on her shoulders. both of 'em have really good teeth ... perfect ' hollywood couple ' smiles, y'know ? "

question     #7     …

" anisa's got that influencer personality you can see right through ... trying to be everyone's friend, making sure everyone is an ally. she's cute, i'll give her that. when shit hits the fan, though - and it inevitably will, whether it's our own doing or someone else's - she seems like she'd be the first to try to run away or do anything to save face. "

question     #8     …

" i don't have much to say, really. just ... i don't know. uh, leave me the fuck alone when i'm at the pool ? "

Clara Bow

This journey into the obsession with “it” girls must start with Clara Bow. Clara Bow stars in the movie adaptation of Elinor Glyn’s It, the story of “a salesgirl with plenty of ‘it’ [as she] pursues a handsome playboy,” (IMDB). Now in the film, “it” tends to be watered down to sex appeal, but I think these upcoming “it” girls prove that “it” is much more than that. Clara Bow herself is more than an overly sexualized flapper who is reduced to the butt of a joke for the sake of condemning “jazzy behavior,” (Ross, 412). Hogue describes Bow as “the rawest and most unlettered of the silent era's stars,” revealing how her performances are much more than just her sex appeal (62). Ross highlights how Bow’s performance style where she makes quick changes to her facial expressions and body language allows her to unite seemingly opposite attributes such as innocence and sensuality while also furthering the plot of the films (418).  Canosa takes it further, commenting how Bow is “caught by the double standard and cut down by it, she portrayed the flapper like no one else, yet wished to be the girl next door. She was no Pollyanna - but you wouldn't fall for Pollyanna then, or now,” (77). Canosa’s statement highlights how it isn't just any girl that holds mainstream society’s attention. The mainstream audience wants a challenge to the traditional girl, even if it’s for condemnation as opposed to admiration. Bow herself is blurring the lines between pretending and being adding to her mystery and sensuality, and what is an “it” girl if not sexy and mysterious (Ross, 420)?

Jeyne was tall and slender, with lustrous brown hair. In 47 AC, Jeyne was being courted by a younger son of Lyman Lannister, the Lord of Casterly Rock, when King Maegor I Targaryen sent for her to be wed to him. She married Maegor in a ceremony at King's Landing, along with Lady Elinor Costayne and Princess Rhaena Targaryen.

Poldark - Book Giveaway!

Poldark has recently returned for Season 3 in the U.S. on Masterpiece on PBS! 

 Aidan Turner (The Hobbit) stars as Ross Poldark, a redcoat who returns to Cornwall after battle to discover that his father is dead, his lands are ruined, and his true love is engaged to another. Can Poldark change his destiny, restore his lost fortune, and reclaim his love?   

I watched the first season of this show and was amazed by the beauty of the setting (Cornwall, England), the romance of the narrative, and the strength and emotion of the acting and the characters.  Unfortunately I haven’t caught up on the second season, so I’ll be able to binge watch these next two seasons probably!  

I’m happy to announce that Masterpiece on PBS is sponsoring a giveaway of the books that inspired the TV series and I am offering three sets of Books 5 and 6 in the Poldark series: “The Black Moon” and “The Four Swans” by Winston Graham.

In “The Black Moon” :  Cornwall, 1794-1795 - The birth of a son to Elizabeth and George Warleggan serves only to accentuate the rift between the Poldark and Warleggan families, and the enduring rivalry between George and Ross finds a new focus for bitter enmity and conflict.

In “The Four Swans” :  The sixth book in the legendary Poldark saga. Cornwall, 1795: Although Ross Poldark - now something of a war hero - seems secure in his hard-won prosperity, a new dilemma faces him in the sudden infatuation of a young naval officer for his wife Demelza. All four women - the four swans - whose lives touch Ross' face a crisis in these years. For his wide Demelza, his old love Elizabeth, for his friend's new wife Caroline and for the unhappy Morwenna Chynoweth, these are times of stress and conflict.

THIS GIVEAWAY IS OPEN TO U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY. (I’m sorry, I can’t afford to open it up internationally!)

Please enter through the Rafflecopter entry form linked below.  

Three winners will be chosen and each winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email before a new winner is picked.

The contest runs until November 3, 2017.

I'm going to assume we're talking exclusively about romantic ships here, so...

1. First ship:

Han/Leia (Star Wars)... a looong time ago, in a galax- well, you get the idea. It was a long time ago, way before I knew what "shipping" was (and before the internet existed).

2. First OTP:

Sorry but all of my ships are OTPs. It’s OTP as in they are the ONE TRUE PAIRING FOR EACH OTHER….obviously. <- I am not even going to change a single word of this, because Anna is 100% CORRECT (but the answer is the same as above: Han/Leia).

3. Your ship since the first minute:

Fitzsimmons (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)

Henry Tilney/Catherine Morland (Northanger Abbey)

Ross/Demelza (Poldark)

Jamie/Claire (Outlander)

Anne/Gilbert (Anne of Green Gables)

Aramis/Anne (BBC The Musketeers)

Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)

Rory/Jess (Gilmore Girls)

Olicity (Arrow)

Will/Djaq (BBC Robin Hood)

there are probably more, I'm tired

Uh... no idea.

7. Ship you wish had a different storyline:

Literally every single one where one half dies and the other is forced to keep going <- BRO, SAME. There are so many of them, too. 😩

Every, single ship I ship from Babylon 5: Delenn/Sheridan, Susan/Talia, Susan/Marcus

Wash/Zoe (Firefly)

Mary/Matthew (Downton Abbey) <- that messed me up so badly I stopped watching, lol

Queliot (The Magicians)

I know there are more, but my brain is just laughing at me now...

Aaand then there's the ship where one of them permanently turns into a TREE:

Eretria/Amberle (The Shannara Chronicles)

Oh, and the one where Half Number 1 spends the rest of her life living in an alternate dimension with a CLONE of Half Number Two:

Ten/Rose (Doctor Who)

8. Ship you wish was canon:

Eretria/Amberle (The Shannara Chronicles)

Kahlan/Cara (Legend of the Seeker)

Supercorp (Supergirl)

Morgan/Garcia (Criminal Minds)

Derek/Chris (Teen Wolf)

9. Ship you wish had become endgame:

BBC Ghosts OC

(Template by @ghostssona)

Name: Elinor Bryce

Date of birth: 28th September 1760

Date of death: 29th August 1779

Age when they died: 19

Cause of death: Stabbed by her sister so that she could inherit all the money Elinor would earn from her paintings

Are they in Button House, or a different location?: She’s at the lake

(If they live at Button House) What are their thoughts on the ghosts there?

Pat: She enjoys his enthusiasm and cheeriness and often wonders if he ever gets tired of being nice to everyone.

Thomas: She finds out about most drama in the house through him, because when he goes to ’drown himself in the lake’ he usually ends up getting bored and talks to her. She finds him a bit irritating at times though.

Fanny: Tries to stay away from her because when they first met she made a comment about her bodice not being tied up fully, this made her upset as the string was broken when she was stabbed.

The Captain: She hasn’t had a full conversation with him yet as she’s pretty scared of him, but when she does talk to him it’s usually a question about where x, y or z ghost is.

Kitty: Like Pat, she enjoys her enthusiasm and cheeriness and she can relate to her the most since they only died a few years apart from each other, but she dislikes the conversations about eligible men as it makes her somewhat uncomfortable.

Robin: She didn’t trust him at first as he kept scaring her every time she tried to enter the house (one of the main reasons why she hardly ever goes there) but he soon learned not to scare her and instead tried talking about cave paintings with her, it was boring, but it was better than being scared all the time.

Mary: She’s not close with Mary AT ALL because since Fanny gave Elinor the nickname ‘Water Witch’ Mary’s taken it literally and runs away shouting prayers every time she sees her.

Julian: She doesn’t trust him one bit. The first time they met he made an inappropriate comment about her bodice (this made practically everyone uncomfortable, I mean it’s Julian what do you expect), so she tries to keep her distance from him.

Humphrey: She often finds comfort in talking to him since he’s usually away from the noise of the others. They don’t talk about much but sometimes Humphrey will tell stories of the different types of banquets he’s been to.

The Plague Ghosts: She doesn’t really vist them because the first time she tried having a conversation with them, it just ended in a big argument (she would usually sneak out when one started).

Jemima (the little girl): She’s never met Jemima but Thomas told stories about her, so now she doesn’t go anywhere near the pantry

Do they have any special ghost powers?: Nope

If they could be seen by a living human, what would their response be?: She probably wouldn’t bother them much, but secretly she would be very happy someone could acknowledge her and maybe even her work.

What do they look like?:

Which of the Friends would they insist they were?: Probably Ross or Pheobe

Other Headcanons:

Her voice claim:

She’s asexual and bisexual.

She wants to be friends with everyone but is afraid she’ll be betrayed again.

As much as it hurts her to admit it, a part of her misses her sister and regrets the arguments she’s had with her as she believes that’s the reason why she killed her.
