The Curious Tale of Jane Austentatious - Literary #POBPUNK with Sass

(edited)

This article is a cheeky little response and play on words to support @jaxsonmurph's unique #pobpunks contest to write about a #pobpunk that you would like to see issued in the set. My wax addy is sbse.wam

My choice is as follows:

Jane Austentatious was a bookworm and revered author from my neighbouring Shire, and the #pobpunk alter ego of one of our country's most beloved authors, Jane Austen.

@jaxsonmurph will hopefully consider replicating her 😜 as I would love to acquire her, being an aspiring author myself.

Always, with a pen and notebook in hand, she had every reason to have Pride in her accomplishments in the Literary Arts and with 6 major novels to her name, she also brought honour to the family name. Being a woman, she might have been concerned about Prejudice in the publishing world, but her books met anon with high acclaim. Today, 204 years on from her birth, she graces the face of the Β£10 GBP banknote.

Her father was a man of great Persuasion and secured her first publishing deal for her.

Sadly in her era, women were seen to be mothers and wives, without profession, housekeepers at best, and being a professional female writer/author was not something that was viewed well in society. Writing, after all, was a Man's field and not a walk in the Park.

a woman who wished to be a full-time writer was felt to be degrading her femininity source

She had a love for writing and dance from a very young age and had the Sense to stand out by pushing the envelope regularly with her "risque" approach and continued to challenge the landed gentry in her works. She did, however, maintain a modicum of Sensibility with her money, having her novels published on commission, and thereby retaining their copyright.

She was a woman of great character and substance, with a close circle of besties, amongst them, Emma, who arrived 4th in her life.

She has been described as:

a clear brunette with a rich colour; she had full round cheeks, with mouth and nose small and well formed, bright hazel eyes, and brown hair forming natural curls close round her face...she never was seen, either morning or evening, without a cap source

Jane died at the age of 41 and is buried not in Northanger Abbey as some unwittingly may have expected😜, but in Winchester Cathedral.

Very few images of Jane exist today and the ones that do are mainly drawings.

Oh wow @samsmith1971 I love It, Jane Austentatious will have to be added to my list of creations, especially for you, I just love how you built the story smoothly around such a literary giant as her #Pobpunks Alter ego, awesome

She will be a challenge to complete in a way befitting her status, but I believe we will do her a pride of place in our upcoming designs, it might just replace that Β£10 GBP Banknote. !LOLZ

Amazing work and very well written Sam, I think Jane's way with words is swiftly brushing off on you. a budding author in the making.

!LOLZ thanks Jaxson, it was a cheeky placement of her best works in amongst a few fun facts thrown in for good measure that I found primarily on Wiki. A bit of creative artistry haha. I enjoyed writing it and trying to weave the titles in as seamlessly as possible so that I wasn't mentioning her works as works, but I was mentioning them haha ... and yay, I can't wait to see her πŸ’– !PIZZA !ALIVE

You are so welcome Pal, I really enjoyed how well you weaved it all together seamlessly, really brilliant.

I'm gonna see what images are available to use as inspiration and hopefully have her brought to Pobpunk life over the next few days. Great stuff.

I love her name..

Jane Austentatious

Feels really befitting for her person. She had the sense to push whatever she loved to do to the very end.

I'm sure our friend here can do justice to her NFT. I'm looking forward to this rare gem.

You have an eye for great things @samsmith1971

I love this idea. I have enjoyed her books and the movie adaptations. You picked an awesome story to share about her. I always look up the trivia for movies on IMDb. They need a site to look up Trivia for authors-maybe they already have one!

Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by... 😊I pulled my research from the refs I cited but completely agree on having an authorial trivia site πŸ’―%. It was just a fun NFT related post, not my usual stuff lol. I did enjoy weaving the titles of her best works into the passage. I thought I would bold and italicise them for those who may not be as familiar😊

They need a whole steampunk line for the the POBPUNk.
I noticed how you weaved I'm those titles. That was great!
