Sophie | 104 comments Hello! I am a huge Heyer fan but it was Jane Austen who put me onto Heyer and I am sure there are others in the same position. So I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand?

I am just beginning an extended project for my school studies and I am basing it on Jane Austen. I am structuring it as an investigation, the project title being....

'In light of the recent fervour surrounding the bicentenary of the publication of 'Pride and Prejudice', alongside the explosion of 'fan-fiction', blogs and articles consider why Jane Austen's work is still so popular in today's modern world'

My plan is to discuss highly respected literary criticism but then find out what the real opinion is, of Jane Austen fans all over the world.

What I ask of you is to be willing for me to send as many of you as possible (the more people who agree the better!) a survey/questionnaire I have constructed. (it doesn't matter If you have not actually read all or any of her novels and have only seen adaptation, there is a question designed precisely for people in that situation).

From this I will be able to compare my findings to the opinions of the critics I previous mentioned and conclude how accurate they are and what really is the answer to my investigation.

If you are willing, either comment here and ask me to message you (I might need to possiblely add you as a friend if your profile setting don't allow message to be sent otherwise) or ask me to email you (leaving your email) or email me at
snophy@hotmail.co.uk

:)

I have been sending this out for a while now but I could still do with some more responses so a word of warning is that If you would be williIng to participate and help me I could do with a response as soon as possible! I need to start compiling my results and writing up my findings.

Anyone willing I will send the survey As soon as I hear :)

Thank you again!

message 22: by Sophie (new)

Sophie | 104 comments I am going to begin collating all the surveys very soon and so I will no longer be sending out any more surveys.

Thank you to all who have helped me in my project - I am extremely grateful and I will share the results when I can!

If I could ask for any outstanding surveys to make their way back to me ASAP I would appreciate it :) ( but of course, it will take quite a few days to collate all the results, don't worry!)

I will share my results as soon as I am able - it will not be for a while as it will take time to write my report commenting on what the surveys have shown!

Thank you all again!
