lucy worsley has written a book about jane austen and there isa a book about jane austen and there is a suggestion that she cut and pasted it and tickled around with it a bit from another book... paula byrne. they say all the facts are in there. her response is that there are a lot of books written about jane austen and all these facts are common ground and she hasn't lifted it. the gracious doctor byrne is saying, i'm not getting involved in this one. she says, the more books about jane austin, the this one. she says, the more books aboutjane austin, the better the jane austen. jane austen has been gone a number of years, there can't be much more new to say about her. there can't. this is one of the dangers of our times. you can google anything and once upon a time you had to sit in the library, take a book down and write your own notes in pencil in the british library. now it's all feeding into you. sometimes i think it's quite easy to forget it came through another source because it becomes quickly pa rt source because it becomes quickly part of the way you think. quite a lot of au

loved dickens, loved austen, but i own a bookshop now, and i have for going on six years, and those daysfor me. now ijust read not only things that are just out, the things i read are the things that will be coming out in six months. this is a confession. henryjames, once you get stuck into henryjames, he is impossible to abandon, isn't he? no, i will never abandon henry james. i will always go back every few years and reread the awkward age. that is the thing. it is not that i want to read more james. i want to just keep rereading the ones that i love. it is interesting to look at that in respect of your own narrative, because as i said, your narrative has the feeling of it has a pulse thatjust seems to keep going. you are a great one for concealing the inevitable artifice of writing. good. whereas james was a great one for putting the inevitable artifice of writing... absolutely. i wasn't influenced by him, ijust love him. i suspectjust reading your prose that you're one of these people, once you start a story, although you work at it very hard, and i have no doubt you are very meticul

big henryjames person and somebody who would reread james over and over again, loved dickens, loved austen will be coming out in six months. this is a confession. henryjames, once you get stuck into henryjames he is impossible to abandon, isn't he? no, i will never abandon henry james. i will always those go back every few years and reread the awkward age. that is the thing. it is not that i want to read more james. i want to just keep rereading the ones that i love. it is interesting to look at that in respect of your own narrative because as i said narrative has the feeling of it has a pulse that just seems to keep going. you are a great one for concealing the inevitable artifice of writing. good. whereas james was a great one for putting the inevitable artifice of writing... absolutely. i wasn't influenced by him, ijust love him. i suspectjust reading your prose that you're one of these people once you start a story, although you work at it very hard, and i have no doubt you are very meticulous, it seems to just rattle along. the reason is that i make it all up in my head for a year or

we found the perfect real life version of jane austen's emma. you might know the character as the inspiration for cher in the movie "clueless." she's rich, stylish, has a sunny disposition and diligently cares for her powerful father. she's also a little too self-assured which in the film takes the form of cluelessly reading botched adages as tokens of advice. she says things that could be described as a strawberry milkshake of inspiration that feels like eating scented cotton balls. that's how writers for the "new york times" describe the new book by ivanka trump. her new book "women who work", is a surprisingly not ironic if you can believe it, espially after reading passages of sage advice like this. to master communication, ask questions and listen well. to communicate with her readers, ivanka borrows heavily from other successful famous people, sheryl sandberg, mark twain, nelson mandela and even nichy show up. she also takes these quotes completely out of context. for example, how do you tell wealthy women how to manage their e-mails? well

in the risk management chapter, i use jane austen's pride and prejudice financing because the risk managementwomen in the 19th century was like mr. collins and mr. darcy basically the same risk management policy that we talk about. troll up in the novel basically divines options and diversification. the woman in that novel basically says i got all these scooters, i don't know who is a good guy, who is a bad guy and she says if only i could marry ten. basically diversification and she outlines an option strategy. so what i wanted to do is make finance not something complex. i wanted to make it really easy and totally accessible with stories and i wanted people in finance to think about what they do in a more humane way. >> what's been the response so far? >> oh, it's been great. it started out as a lecture i gave to graduating students. and i think i was so encouraged i made it into a book. and i think that the reason why is they don't want wisdom from upon high. right? they want their work to be meaningful. and so if you see meaning in your work, as opposed to what finance is now, which is ro

and just before 9am, historian lucy worsley will be here to talk about jane austen, and the author'sesume his party's election campaign today with a speech linking british military actions abroad with terrorist attacks in the uk. he will say a government has a responsibility to minimise the chance of attacks and ensure that police have the resources they need. the former labour home secretary charles clarke disagrees. he's simply wrong. the core attacks, from 9/11 and beforehand, have come from forces which are about trying to destroy the whole of our society. this is before the iraq war, before the wars in syria. and there are about eliminating the ability of young people to go to an event like they did in manchester arena, eliminating programmes like this, to create a society under the caliphate, which really removes all our democracies. we will be talking to the security minister, ben wallace, aboutjeremy corbyn's comments, and about this week's events in manchester, at 7:10am. tributes are continuing to the 22 people killed in the manchester bomb attack on monday. this is st ann'

artist, a guy called graham short, had actually managed to put some little tiny pictures of jane austenhank you very much. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. high—pressure is the dominant feature. the onshore flow keeping things chilly across eastern coastal areas. the very best of the sunshine to be found across the northern half of britain. the best of the temp reaches out to the west. there is enough about that clouds are there to bea enough about that clouds are there to be a risk of a spot of rain on the breeze across the south—east. that risk transferring come mid—afternoon in the form of showers out towards the south—west of england. wales and certainly the north midlands, parts of eastern england thenjoin north midlands, parts of eastern england then join much of the north midlands, parts of eastern england thenjoin much of the north of england, northern ireland and scotland in having a glorious afternoon, plenty of sunshine around. some low cloud lingering on from the morning across parts of the north—eastern quarter of scotland. the wind still
