Idag fyller Jane Austen \u00e5r — hon f\u00f6ddes den 16 december 1775. Hennes pappa kallade henne till en b\u00f6rjan Jenny och beskrev storasyster Cassandras gl\u00e4dje \u00f6ver henne (med ordet ”plaything” som vi kanske inte skulle anv\u00e4nda nu …). Cassandra hade varit enda flickan, barn nummer sex i syskonskaran. Lite senare kom en lillebror ocks\u00e5, s\u00e5 till slut var de \u00e5tta. En av br\u00f6derna hade sjukdomar eller funktionsvariationer, kanske epilepisi och kanske n\u00e5got mer, som gjorde att han fick v\u00e4xa upp hos en annan familj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Det \u00e4r Cassandra som har tecknat portr\u00e4ttet av Jane, den enda bild som finns av hennes ansikte. Som synes blev hon, allts\u00e5 konstn\u00e4ren, inte klar (och antagligen inte heller n\u00f6jd) med det.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pr\u00e4stg\u00e5rden i Steventon finns inte kvar, och det \u00e4r ocks\u00e5 mycket annat vi som \u00e4r fascinerade av Jane Austen antagligen aldrig kommer att kunna \u00e5terskapa. Men hennes sex stora romaner finns, och m\u00e4nniskor i alla bebodda v\u00e4rldsdelar forts\u00e4tter att l\u00e4sa dem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hurra hurra hurra hurra f\u00f6r dig, k\u00e4ra Jane Austen, och tack f\u00f6r din blick och det du ville ber\u00e4tta f\u00f6r oss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
