Pride & Promiscuity: The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen ~ Arielle Eckstut
What if Jane Austen’s heroines had been imagined in a less prudish time? What if the Georgian Period has not restricted women to chaste creatures of delicate virtue? What if the love stories we adore from Austen’s clever mind had been conjured now? What if, god forbid, there was sex in Pride and Prejudice?? Arielle Eckstut contemplates these, and imagines daring sex scenes for our most beloved of Jane Austen’s heroines in Pride and Promiscuity: The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen. A deliciously funny addition to the Austen fans collection, this slim volume is definitely worth reading. (2001)
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!

One thought on “Pride & Promiscuity: The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen ~ Arielle Eckstut”
I love that concept! Besides the Jane Austen continuation books, the great thing about movie adaptations is that directors and writers can re-imagine innuendo and add more passion where it’s only suggested in the original novels. One example is the affair between Maria Bertram and Henry Crawford. The 1999 version makes it especially risque when they’re both caught in flagrante by Fanny.
