In "Peculiar Engagement" she writes about a discussion she has with Darcy about books and we find that she enjoys adventure books. They had both read Gulliver's Travels and enjoyed it. As she got a little older, we know that she enjoyed reading Gothic novels, and her first novel, Girl in the Turret, was Gothic. I think because of the restrictions on her life, she mainly read novels that allowed her to escape into them.Kara Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596462823122717845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-51411996756116061092015-06-18T01:42:38.705-05:002015-06-18T01:42:38.705-05:00I would like to know if Anne reads as well as writ...I would like to know if Anne reads as well as writes.

My take was that her father had been kind and loving, so Anne had those traits rather than her mother.

Austen does not give her any real conversation at all, so we can assume so many things about her -- most of them being negative from the example of her mother (the acorn does not drop far from the tree). However, we never really know because she is never given the chance to say anything.Julia Erganehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613625453621934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-85785239828700418492015-06-16T18:27:43.919-05:002015-06-16T18:27:43.919-05:00Very few people know that Anne is a writer.

My love for him grew, but the year before he and Rickland came to visit, I realized he probably would never ask me to marry him. As for the Colonel, he and I are close friends, but nothing more.Kara Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596462823122717845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-38555830805527354382015-06-16T17:12:36.954-05:002015-06-16T17:12:36.954-05:00Wonderful interview.

I think both may have reached a point of resignation, knowing nothing could be done about it. Anne could not change her mother and her mother could not change her. I think Anne had a closer relationship with Mrs. Jenkinson than she did with her mother, and felt that woman truly cared for her - and nurtured and encourage her in her writing.
