Jane Austen Newsletter March 2016 [E] This newsletter touches on Jane's style of writing. |
Greetings, Found this while using the Random Read and Review button again. I love your summarization of Jane Austen’s writing style and the things a young lady needed to know and understand back then. This newsletter is informative and interesting, with an approachable and conversational style. The colored font is cute. You’ve shared some of your favorite things about your favorite author, and made us remember how much we also enjoy her works. I think it’s quite a thought provoking idea, the balance of dialogue and narrative in a story. I try to use a lot of dialogue… in fact, I love dialogue as a way to draw characters and “show” without “telling.” It helps me avoid a “corny narrator voice,” which Jane herself probably wasn’t too concerned about, as I remember she had a pretty expressive narrative style. Most writers did back then; Charles Dickens, for example, used lots of telling in his stories. Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
