Meinhold (1797–1851), Sidonia the sorceress (1849)) and French (Lamartine, Pictures of the first French revolution (1850) and The wanderer and his home (1851), and Dumas père, The glacier land (1852)). Her education is unknown but she became polyglot, publishing in her twenties translations from the German (J. Jane may have been domiciled with her father's military or clerical brothers, which (in reaction) could have assisted her adult enthusiasm for Young Ireland nationalism, and Roman catholicism (in which she would rebaptise her sons, though not herself). She has also been credited with a third name, ‘Agnes’, which she never used it may have originated with her son William.Ĭharles Elgee died in Bangalore, south India, in 1824. in 1821 fourth and last of the children, Jane was probably named Frances after the third child – who died at three months – and translated it in homage to Italy, also present in her poetic pseudonym (and she claimed kinship to Dante). Elgee, a solicitor, lived at 6 Leeson St. Jane would contribute introductory material to a new edition (1892) of Maturin's Gothic masterpiece Melmoth the wanderer (1820). 1851), daughter of Thomas Kingsbury, commissioner of bankruptcy, and sister of Henrietta, wife of the Rev. Just imagine, twitter would have been perfect for Oscar whose epigrams would have definitely fit into 140 characters or less.(1821?–1896), poet, nationalist, and feminist, was probably born 27 December 1821 in Dublin, to Charles Elgee (1783–1824), son of Archdeacon John Elgee of Wexford, and his wife Sarah (d. The Importance of Being Earnest to The Troggs. I might try it soon, I’ve already made a short film based on Oscar Wilde’s work called ‘Wilde Thing’, recontextualising his plays in a girls high school. How exciting is the capacity to combat anachronism in literature by bringing disaffected ex lit students back into the literary fold through social media! The series absolutely blew up and birthed the ‘welcome to Sanditon’ (an unpublished Austen manucript) series which I believe is a more intricate social media adventure built around an app the creators built called ‘Domino’ and another series on ‘Emma’ is coming soon. The moment Caroline Bingley is rebuffed by Darcy in a most contrite manner Who could forget the moment Gigi (Georgiana) Darcy followed Lizzie on twitter, the pics Lizzie put up on instagram of her lunch date with Darcy and the moment Kitty Bennet debuted as a literal Cat. The coolest part of it all was that you could follow all the characters online through twitter, facebook and instagram. Lydia is your average party animal, who like every teen gal makes dumb decisions and goes out with silly guys. Lizzie does the videos as part of an integrated media Masters she is undertaking alongside Charlotte Liu, her asian bff who ends up becoming a ‘partner’ at Mr Collins’ digital media company ‘Collins & Collins’. Unfortunately, I realised, in this case I might be one of those silly gen Ys who can’t respect anything that isn’t made relevant to them! The series ingeniously threads together the story of P&P in a modern context. Never before have Tumblr girls loved anything moreīut the web series really made me think. In the end I just watched the BBC Mini Series and then Bridget Jones. I thought Lydia was an idiot and Jane (Bennet) was boring as heck. I love literature, but I didn’t really get why this was such an important text, particularly to feminism. This was certainly the case with me, I read P&P for school and was like ‘jesus Jane stop with your long dissertations on the weather at Pemberly’. I watched this religiously last year because I thought the diaries were a fantastic way for people who studied P & P in Year 10 Lit and kind of hated it to delve back in to an important text. This is a great example of how texts can be adapted via blogging, and reminds me lots of the 2012 web series ‘The Lizzie Bennet Diaries’. I loved Landlow’s discussion of the adaptation of Samuel Pepys 17th Century diaries into a blog entry, enabling his work to be more accessible and relevant to modern audiences. Why didn’t we read the Landlow text weeks ago? It’s a dynamite piece of blogger fodder for people new to the game of Hypertext.
