podcast: Episode 4 | Persuasion

 

bluestocking-circleIn which we discuss the merits of sense vs. sensibility, consider the virtues of Austen’s gents, and have a lively discussion on “the marriage plot” and how Jane set the bar for happy-ever-after a little too high (ruining romance for all). All this and more as the Bluestockings share their thoughts on Jane Austen’s Persuasion and subsequent film adaptations.

WARNING: Spoilers galore! If you haven’t read the book or seen one of the adaptations, do so now! 

(Though, really, what are you doing here if you don’t know Jane!? – Gricel)
