The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After Elizabeth Kantor

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

The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After Bewertungen

Praise for The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After "What a wonderful book! Elizabeth Kantor writes with immense sense and sensibility about how single young women in today's confusing world can find happiness by applying the principles of Jane Austen. I feel certain that Jane Austen would appreciate this witty and authentic take on her work, unlike so many wrong-headed pop interpretations one gets these days. I am heartily recommending this delightful and original book even to my more mature friends who are no longer looking for a single young man. Lovely writing." --Charlotte Hays, senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum and bestselling co-author of Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral and Somebody Is Going to Die if Lilly Beth Doesn't Catch That Bouquet: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Wedding "A thorough analysis of love and dating through the eyes of Jane Austen, sure to spark discussions and provide a lot of food for thought. If you need a fresh perspective on love, start here." --Lori Smith, author of A Walk with Jane Austen and The Jane Austen Guide to Life "In The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After Elizabeth Kantor asks, 'Can we have Jane Austen-style elegance, dignity, and happy love only at the cost of modern freedom and equality?' The answer is yes if, like Austen's heroines, we approach romance with a rational balance to sex and love and work hard on all our relationships, not just the romantic ones. The Guide is filled with information and advice gleaned from Jane Austen's novels. Case studies of major male characters examine their commitment phobias, and close scrutiny of Jane's clear-eyed heroines reveals how they get love exactly right. This book is packed with information that had me thinking about Jane Austen's novels in a new light. One thing is for certain: The reader will gain a new perspective on how to approach modern romance from one of the world's most famous regency spinsters!" --Vic Sanborn, author of the Jane Austen's World and Jane Austen Today blogs "Influenced by the master of love and romance, Elizabeth Kantor's wise, witty, and insightful advice book should be added to Mr. Darcy's reading list for any truly accomplished woman. It will transform you into the heroine of your own life." --Laurel Ann Nattress, author of "Austenprose -- A Jane Austen Blog" and editor of Jane Austen Made Me Do It: Original Stories Inspired by Literature's Most Astute Observer of the Human Heart "This book would have helped me avoid a few broken hearts for sure! Kantor teaches you how to guard your emotions in an independent, sophisticated, and empowered way through Jane Austen's works. She offers timeless wisdom for the modern woman, and most importantly, encourages us to take our relationships seriously." --Amy Bonaccorso, author of How to Get to "I Do"
