The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After
The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After | Elizabeth Kantor
9 posts | 13 to read
Have you stopped believing in happily ever after? Women today are settling for less than we want when it comes to men, relationships, sex, and marriage. But we dont have to, argues Elizabeth Kantor. Jane Austen can show us how to find the love we really want. In The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After, Kantor reveals how the examples of Jane Austen heroines such as Elizabeth Bennett, Elinor Dashwood, and Anne Elliot can help us navigate the modern-day minefields of dating, love, relationships, and sex. By following in their footstepsand steering clear of the sad endings suffered by characters such as Maria Bertram and Charlotte Lucasmodern women can discover the path to lifelong love and true happiness. Charged with honesty and humor, Kantor's book includes testimonies from modern women, pop culture parallels, the author's personal experiences and, of course, a thorough examination of Austen's beloved novels. Featuring characters and situations from all of Jane Austens books (including unfinished novels, and stories not published in her lifetime), The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After tackles the dating and relationship dilemmas that we face today, and equips modern women to approach our love lives with fresh insights distilled from the novels: Dont be a tragic heroine Pursue Elizabeth Bennets rational happiness learn what it is, and how you can find it Dont let cynicism steal your happy ending Why its a mistake to look for your soul mate Jane Austens skeleton keys to a mans potential How you should deal with men who are afraid of commitment (from Jane Austens eight case studies) Learn how to arrange your own marriageby falling in love the Jane Austen way

If you were a #DancingQueen in the Regency era, proper decorum dictated up to two dances with them same partner, and absolutely no inviting him over for a nightcap. And yeah, if you were 17, you‘re at the prime age for a marriage proposal or two. #MarchIntoThe70s

Hi @biblioprincess I was just wondering if you‘d had a chance to open your #HappilyEverAfterSwap package? USPS says it was delivered on Feb 6, but I always get nervous that it somehow didn‘t make it! No pressure... I‘m just so eager to learn if you liked everything! 😊

Chrissyreadit @Readergrrl I‘m so sorry you did not get to see the fruits of your labor... I sent an email last week but did not have a reply. Thank you for your participation - I hope your part was fun ❤️❤️❤️ 5y
Readergrrl @Chrissyreadit Thank you for trying to contact my match! I appreciate your effort. I‘m hopeful that it‘s just a matter of timing. Sometimes I worry that something happened to the package, but sometimes I worry that something happened to the person! I will just have to wait and see. Again, thanks for commenting. I did have fun picking out items and the package from my own match was fabulous!! 😊😊😊 5y

#QuotsyJan18 #Commitment This quote is not from the tagged book (as far as I know) but from advice Jane Austen gave her niece in a letter. I like that she gave the same advice about commitment and marriage to her niece as she would the characters in her books.💜 I probably won't use all Austen quotes for this month's challenge but you never know.😆#janeaustenknowsall

BethFishReads Oh sure you will. 😄😄😄😄 6y

Jane Austen has certainly reached celebrity status in today's culture. In this book, Kantor uses the lessons learned by Austen's heroines and applies them to our dating and married worlds. #celebritylove #sizzlinsummerbooks
