The Amateur Austenite

We discuss the dedication of Emma to the Prince Regent and propose that Miranda Hart does a one woman adaptation of Austen which some how segues into the muppets - oh and it's the ball.

Is Emma vain or does her behaviour make sense based on Frank's behaviour?

Mrs Elton has a tennis match conversation with Mr Weston, we discuss Frank's childhood

Ok so I made another t-shirt

Talking about Sense and Sensibility, Austen said: “I can no more forget it than a mother can forget her sucking child.”

TW: Slavery, racism

Mrs Elton is rude and Frank is coming back!

And I made a shirt...

Mrs Elton sucks and is a bully at the dinner party Emma throws for her

Of course I made the tshirt

Mrs Elton sucks, Mr Elton would be a better person had he married a better wife (as would many men in Austen), Mr Knightley isn’t in love with Jane Fairfax

I mention Pride & Promiscuity: the lost sex scenes of Jane Austen by Arielle Eckstut

Apologies for some background noise

Mrs Elton arrives and she sucks

Harriet has no idea about money and we have no idea about social rules

Mr Elton is a topic of conversation again and Emma has to console Harriet

Check out the Intrepid French Film Festival Aotearoa and especially Jane Austen Wrecked My Life throughout the country May-June 2025

Come to the May meeting to win tickets!

Emma thinks she's in love with Frank. We talk a lot about slogans for t-shirts (and I made one)
