brilliant! I mean, I can't tell in places if it's poorly written or just the language of the times, but the content is highly amusing. she seems fascinated by the women of English History and, really, I think more people should be!

Jane Austen was so real for writing this just to defend her fave person from history 😭

 Jane Austen writes the history of England. Beginning with Henry the 4th and finishing with Charles the 1st with the sole purpose to "abuse Elizabeth the 1st" for the crime of Mary Stuart's death. I respect this level of spiteful urgency. Why did I read this? Almost anythings penned by Dear old Jane is readable. How did I read this keeping names in mind? The mnemonic trick was to keep in mind the actors that have portrayed these figures and I could differentiate them. Henry the fifth was Tom Hiddleston from Hollow Crown, Henry the 8th Jonathan Rhys Myers from Tudors. Elizabeth Woodville was Rebecca Ferguson in White Queen, Elizabeth of York was Jodie Comer in White Princess and so on. It worked.

Η Jane Austen γράφει την ιστορία της Αγγλίας. Ξεκινώντας με τον Ερρίκο τον 4ο και τελειώνοντας με τον Κάρολο τον 1ο, με μοναδικό σκοπό να «ξεφτιλίσει την Ελισάβετ την 1η» για το έγκλημα του θανάτου της Μαίρης Στιούαρτ. Ειλικρινά, σέβομαι αυτό το επίπεδο απέχθειας. Γιατί το διάβασα; Σχεδόν οτιδήποτε έχει γράψει η Jane είναι στη λίστα. Πώς κατάφερα να το διαβάσω με τόσα πολλά ονόματα; Το μνημονικό κόλπο ήταν να έχω κατά νου τους ηθοποιούς που έπαιξαν αυτές τις φιγούρες και θα μπορούσα να τους ξεχωρίζω. Ο Ερρίκος ο πέμπτος ήταν ο Τομ Χίντλστον από το Hollow Crown, ο Χένρι ο 8ος Τζόναθαν Ρις Μάγιερς από το Tudors. Η Elizabeth Woodville ήταν η Rebecca Ferguson στο White Queen, η Elizabeth of York ήταν η Jodie Comer στο White Princess κ.ο.κ. (Ναι τα έχω δει όλα) Δούλεψε.
