Tiffany Adams asks, as modern readers, we don't always fully understand the context of living in Austen's day, whether that's the marriage dynamics, the local places, traditions, global issues, and yet we still really enjoy her stories.
How much more or less do people appreciate Austen's stories in her own time period?
Did Austen have a good following for her books while she was alive?
Lizzie, could you take this one, please?
Because she was publishing anonymously at the time.
Our panel will answer more of your great questions after this short break.
We're back with our panel, John Mullen, Emma-Claire Sweeney and Lizzie Dunford, answering some of your listener questions.
So next up, we've got a question from Sydney Chafer-Melly, who asks, what do you think Jane Austen would have made of social media?
Emma, would she have been taking selfies and filming TikToks?
What vision do you have of Austen looking at her social media feed?
I'm not sure Wentworth's letter would have been quite as powerful if he had slid into her DMs, though, as it was writing it down in the book.
Okay, a question here, a bit more about Austen's works themselves, from a listener called Kieran Garvey.
He writes,
I wonder what your thoughts are about the representation of parents in Austen's work and what we can say, or perhaps only speculate about, given the lack of source material on her relationship with her own parents.
John, would you like to come in on that one?
I could keep going with these listener questions all day.
That's all we have time for.
Thank you so much to our listeners who sent in so many questions.
And to Emma, John and Lizzie, thank you so much for joining us to answer some of them.
Thank you.
