Austen Email


Today just for fun, what if some of Austen’s characters were real and their stories were being lived out today? Since we’ve been talking about the importance of letters in Jane’s novels and how to write a letter like Jane, here are examples of what some of her most famous character’s inboxes might look like:

Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice

                    Inbox Elizabeth

Elinor Dashwood, Sense and Sensibility

                      Inbox Elinor

Anne Elliot, Persuasion

                        Inbox Anne

Unfortunately not all of the books have inboxes but if you go to the website you can see Mr. Darcy’s inbox and Catherine Morland’s as well. They also have other famous inboxes for LOTR, Harry Potter, Dickens, Star Wars, even historical figures.

Happy Reading!
