Author: Scheuermann, StefanBrand: Virtualbookworm.com PublishingBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 264Release Date: 12-10-2015Part Number: black & white illustrationsDetails: From the Author I was reading Pride and Prejudice (not for the first time). As I came across some of the lovelier passages, I imagined how I could use them in conversation, wishing I would hear such language from others. The idea soon came to me to put together a simple guide to including Austenian language into daily conversation. I scoured every surviving word by Jane Austen that I could get my hands on, from her major novels to her juvenilia to her personal letters. I extracted the wittiest, most beautiful, and most quintessentially Austen phrases, translated them into the common phrases of today and created this Jane Austen phrase thesaurus. My hope is that readers will have a good laugh and begin to bring beauty back to English expression. Please feel free to contact me for ideas on activities and fun
