Welcome back to the Sense and Sensibility vlog series, dear readers! We're a day late due to technical difficulties—we appreciate your patience as we worked to upload our latest vlog. My co-hosts and I sincerely hope you enjoy this episode tackling artistic, musical, and literary references in Austen's first published novel. Highlights of the video include an enthusiastic review of Susan Allen Ford's chapter on Sense and Sensibility in her excellent book What Jane Austen's Characters Read (And Why), the ways in which our own cultural "touchstones" have shaped our current tastes in media, and the shocking revelation that one of us didn't understand the concept of a musical "album" until late elementary school.
If you missed last week's video on the meanings of the words "sense" and "sensibility, you can check it out here on JASP's YouTube channel. We'll see you again next Tuesday, May 20, with an episode discussing themes of movement and displacement in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Until then, happy viewing!
The Sense and Sensibility vlog series promotes JASP 2025: Sensibility and Domesticity, which will take place in New Bern, NC, on June 19-22. The Jane Austen Summer Program is designed to appeal to anyone with a passion for all things Jane Austen. Attendees include people from all walks of life, as well as established scholars, high school teachers, and students from middle school through graduate school. We can't wait to see you there!
JASP 2025 is partially supported by a grant from North Carolina Humanities.
Dear friends, forgive me if I seem overly persnickety, but I can't help wishing you knew that the poet, Wm. Cowper's last name is pronounced "Cooper," not "Cowper." And who can blame him? It's all part of that endearing British conspiracy to identify foreign invaders by our tendency to employ phonetic consistency in place of linguistic whimsey.
