While Elizabeth Bennet got her happy ending, Ms. Austen remained a spinster until her death. Though she once accepted a proposal from Harris Bigg-Wither, heir to a neighboring estate, she changed her mind the next day. She was in a dire financial situation and his money and property must have surely seemed like the answer to her problems, but the v...
Researchers at the University of Liverpool disovered a new pheremone in male mouse urine back in 2010 – and they named it “darcin”, after Mr. Darcy. One of the researchers described the pheremone, saying.
Published just a few years before her death, Austen sold the copyright to Pride & Prejudice for a mere £110 (though she had requested £150). That's roughly $10,000 in today's money, and it's actually quite a bit more than a lot of first-time novelists earn today – but it's a pittance compared to how much money the book has earned over the years.
Every serious Pride & Prejudice fan will know what we mean when we reference “the lake scene”. One of the most memorable scenes in recent British television history, it's when Mr. Darcy jumped into the lake for a quick swim, only to wander back up to the house all soggy and run into Miss Elizabeth Bennet. You might think Colin Firth had to dive int...
When Ms. Austen wrote the book at the tender age of 21, she called it First Impressions. It wouldn't be published until more than a decade later – after some revisions and a new name.
Even though Pride & Prejudice is totally wholesome, we all know what's simmering just beneath the surface – good old-fashioned lust, however constrained and British it might seem. In the 1995 television adaptation, screenwriter Andrew Davies had some saucy direction for actor Colin Firth. You know that scene where Elizabeth Bennet arrives all rosy-...
In the book, Lydia writes to her sister saying, “I am going to Gretna Green and if you cannot guess with who, I shall think you a simpleton, for there is but one man in the world I love, and he is an angel. I should never be happy without him, so think it no harm to be off.” Gretna Green is a tiny village just over the English border in Scotland. S...
Pride & Prejudice was credited as “by the author of Sense & Sensibility”, and Austen's books were generally credited as “By a Lady”. Some weren't even published during her lifetime. After she died, her brother shared her identity with the world. It's a shame she never had the joy of knowing what her work has meant to people around the world.
Even today, there are numerous theories about the mystery illness that killed Jane Austen at the young age of 41. Cancer, tuberculosis, and a rare hormonal disorder have all been put forth as possibilities. Most recently, it was suggested that she may have died of arsenic poisoning. Austen's vision declined significantly in her later years, and the...
It's fairly well-known that Mark Twain was NOT a fan of Austen's work. He once wrote: What a lot of people don't know, though, is that Austen herself had a lot of doubts. In her memoirshe wrote, “The work is rather too light, and bright, and sparkling. It wants shade; it wants to be stretched out here and there with a long chapter of sense, if it c...
