Topic 68 of 100: Austen and Bronte - is there an Afterlife?

Tue, Dec 14, 1999 (20:39) | Paul Terry Walhus (terry)
I am prompted to start this topic because Lenzi asked.

Is there a future for the Bronte and the Austen conferences here on the
Spring?

Topic 1 of 68: 'introductions'
Resp 37 of 37: Lenzi (Lenzi) Mon, Dec 13, 1999 (19:19) 3 lines

Hello...I've been looking for something like this and have only come
across a discussion page which was populated by a massive group of
high schoolers looking for help because they hadn't read Jane Eyre
for school. Now, after my initial glee in finding this conference, I
am wondering how active this site is. It appears there have been no
entries for quite a while. I hope it is merely a temporary lull...
I am very enthusiastic about the Brontes and have read all I could
get my hands on. Until recently
I had concentrated on the works of C.& E. and their bios but I have
ordered Anne's novels and I'm excited about discovering something of
the more forgotten sister. Has anyone read "A Chainless Soul" by
Katherine Frank? I'm in the middle of it. She proposes that Emily
was anorexic. Although there is a considerable amount of conjecture
throughout the book, I felt that she might have something there. I
think if it is a truth, it was not the kind of self mutilation
arising from low self esteem which plag
es some of our young women in this day, but probably sprang from her
passionate need for control, esp. when she was placed in situations
in which she was away from home, away from her usual liberty. Does
anyone have thoughts on this? I'm so glad I found you all!

Until just recently Brontė was going strong through the aid of a diligent Charlotte, as I recall. There will always be lovers of the three ladies who lived such short and sheltered lives on the Yorkshire moors. I will try to enter the conversation if no one else steps forward - there is just so much of me to spread around, and at 116 pounds, that does not spread very far! Hang in there Lenzi...I shall return!

Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and a whole bunch other good books on the lives and times she lived in. She was Aunt Jane to a large contingent of family but never married. Probably could not find a Darcy, either *grin*

With the activity in our http://www.atlantea.com website, I am really
hoping to pump things up here as a stomping ground for poets, writers and
aficianados of fine classic works. I am using the success of authoress M
J Rose as a starting point for the impending marketing I'll be doing for
atlantea.com, she made it on the Amazon charts and got her book accepted
by the big publishers purely byh guerilla marketing on the net,
http://www.mjrose.com is the url I believe. She even sells a marketing
kit. We might take some pointers from her in getting these areas popular.

No buts. It's great news that austen is doing so well. I hope it continues to grow. Maybe we can support it via pledge drive, if not maybe by banner ads and click throughs. Though I want to be careful about this and consider everyones feelings about keeping it pure like it is now.

I seem to attract people from other conferences (as Drool and Austin, for example) and if I were separate, new readers would not be aware of Geo, would they? Not sure what the advantage of having it as a separate entity.

I will be delighted to see your posts there. It is doing ok, but it could certainly stand a man's voice in there from time to time.

Geothermal (geysers, etc) and and Geo Mysteries (for the far out from Loch Ness monster to middle earth and crop circles - the far-out of the Geo conference) At any time, the two gem topics get hot (8 for inorganic and 18 for oceanic - pearls / coral, amber, and ivory)

geothermal is hot by definition. Gems are an interesting topic.

Post some things in the new pointers topic. I've got geo on the main page. As conversations heat up I'll try and post them to the main page. If I miss somehting point it out to me.

Ann is pumping up the pledge drive on austen.com. The spring is really a family of websites. and right now, it looks like austen.com and not spring.net is the leader.

Paul,

Thanks so much for your input. The recruiting and curriculum team (Gregory,
Adrienne, Ben, Tom and I) will certainly discuss this more, but B&N is very
keen on literature courses.

Gregory's out of town this week, but maybe we can all sit down next week to
discuss your ideas further. Of course, Gregory will determine all of this
since he's the big boss man...

Thanks,
Jan

This is a sample of the emails I am getting in support of setting up a Jane Austen University in conjunction with Barnes and Noble. Anyone who is a part of austen.com please get in touch with me, I implore you for your help on this project which could become a milestone for us if it flies. I am going to need all the help I can get on this from our wonderful community of Jane Austen devotees.

Please get in touch with me if you have any ideas for courses we could run online and tie in with the Spring conferences. This may be the mmost important project the Spring has ever undertaken and is vital for our future growth. Please pass the word around about this. We're looking for courses based on topics in all our conferences and courses around the works of Jane Austen and her novels and adaptations. This will become a growing venture within the Spring with funding going to the community as a whole and the participants in the project.

Scale of importance: Extremely high priority, urgent!

I hoping for a re-unification and re-dedication of purpose around building the Spring and Austen Universities. I am hoping folks in this community get involved, I'd like to see how many courses we can do and what the titles would be. I've asked Ann if she would mind doing a mock up sample page.

I found myself wondering upon coming here if this is a place for Charlotte or Emily Bronte? Although I admire both sisters, I find Wuthering Heights to be beautiful beyond compare because of its rough edges and raw emotion. Jane Eyre, on the other hand, is much more refined and soft. I would enjoy a bit of conversation about the sisters....for certainly their styles are very different.

Welcome Lindi,

I believe there may be a whole site dedicated to the Brontes, which is a spin off from our old Bronte conference here on The Spring.

Terry, the main man around here, would definitely know where to point you.

Mr. Walhus to the front desk please!!!

Why, uh, of course. Let me carry your bags, Lindi, there is indeed a bronte conference, it could use some promotion and reviving. But it's there with a rich history of comments.

Still out there?

A couple of years down the track and I've finally found the Bronte
Conference again. Of course, in the interim I've moved overseas and
am now living in the UK - Amy, are you still out there? Ever check
in? I've adopted Scarborough as a second home, and was up there on
the 150th anniversary of Anne Bronte's death.


In the bronte conference.
