Wretchedly did he feel, that with all the cost and care of an anxious and expensive education, he had brought up his daughters without their understanding their first duties, or his being acquainted with their character and temper.

—Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

someone talk to me the way henry talks about fanny <33

"'...with such unpretending gentleness, so much as if it were a matter of course that she was not to have a moment at her own command, her hair arranged as neatly as it always is, and one little curl falling forward as she wrote, which she now and then shook back, and in the midst of all this, still speaking at intervals to /me/, or listening, and as if she liked to listen, to what I said. Had you seen her so, Mary, you would not have implied the possibility of her power over my heart ever ceasing.'"

i literally ceased to exist

"'I could so wholly and absolutely confide in her,' said he;' and /that/ is what I want.'"

Something something Jane Austen letting sweet tempered, yielding women resist the persuasion of people they greatly esteem when it concerns their sense of right and wrong, something something parallels:

The master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so soon, and repeatedly tried to persuade Miss Bennet that it would not be safe for her—that she was not enough recovered; but Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right.

~ Pride and Prejudice

But Isabella became only more and more urgent, calling on her in the most affectionate manner, addressing her by the most endearing names. (…) But all in vain; Catherine felt herself to be in the right, and though pained by such tender, such flattering supplication, could not allow it to influence her.

~ Northanger Abbey

“You should have distinguished,” replied Anne. “You should not have suspected me now; the case is so different, and my age is so different. If I was wrong in yielding to persuasion once, remember that it was to persuasion exerted on the side of safety, not of risk. When I yielded, I thought it was to duty, but no duty could be called in aid here. In marrying a man indifferent to me, all risk would have been incurred, and all duty violated.”

~ Persuasion

“If it were possible for me to do otherwise” said [Fanny], with another strong effort; “but I am so perfectly convinced that I could never make him happy, and that I should be miserable myself.”

~ Mansfield Park

Jane Austen associating the word "rational" with women over six books:

Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart. - Elizabeth Bennet, Pride & Prejudice

“But I hate to hear you talking so like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures. We none of us expect to be in smooth water all our days.” - Mrs. Croft, Persuasion

She dearly loved her father, but he was no companion for her. He could not meet her in conversation, rational or playful. - Emma Woodhouse, Emma

“Oh! never, never, never! he never will succeed with me.” And she spoke with a warmth which quite astonished Edmund, and which she blushed at the recollection of herself, when she saw his look, and heard him reply, “Never! Fanny!—so very determined and positive! This is not like yourself, your rational self.” Fanny Price, Mansfield Park (we know that this is very much her rational self, also after a marriage proposal)

Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition. -Elinor Dashwood, Sense & Sensibility

You talked of expected horrors in London—and instead of instantly conceiving, as any rational creature would have done, that such words could relate only to a circulating library, - Henry Tilney, teasing his sister, Northanger Abbey

#rational creatures #jane austen #meta posts require so many tags....#northanger abbey #mansfield park #sense and sensibility #pride and prejudice #emma #persuasion #women want and require rational conversation #the NA quote isn't the best #but in the context it's clear that Henry is lovingly teasing his sister #Mrs. Croft being the best #I need Elizabeth Bennet to slap Edmund and tell him women are rational creatures #please?

“If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.”

— Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

"I think the man who could often quarrel with Fanny," said Edmund affectionately, "must be beyond the reach of any sermons."

...but at the same time there was a pointedness in his manner of asking her which she did not like, and she saw his eye glancing for a moment at her necklace, with a smile—she thought there was a smile—which made her blush and feel wretched.

“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.”

"The day was uncommonly lovely. It was really March; but it was April in its mild air, brisk soft wind, and bright sun, occasionally clouded for a minute; and everything looked so beautiful under the influence of such a sky [...] the ever-varying hues of the sea, now at high water, dancing in its glee and dashing against the ramparts with so fine a sound"

Jane Austen, Mansfield Park (1814)

Have you done a chart on the age differences between siblings in Austen novels?

No I haven't! Welcome to...

Jane Austen Charted #21: Age Gaps Between Austen Siblings

So firstly, Jane Austen doesn't usually supply birthdates, we only know the Elliot family, Robert Martin, and Harriet Smith if I remember correctly, so all of these are estimates. It's possible that Kitty Bennet was born in November 1802 and Lydia January 1804 and that is still technically two years, though not 24 months.

However, still interesting how nicely spaced the children are in most families. I imagine people understood that having babies immediately after the other was bad for women's health. Also, breastfeeding was going through a renaissance among the upper class.

Some ages just aren't given, these are the families with enough data.

Northanger Abbey:
