Janeite
The term Janeite has been both embraced by devotees of the works of Jane Austen and used as a term of opprobrium. According to Austen scholar Claudia Johnson Janeitism is "the self-consciously idolatrous enthusiasm for 'Jane' and every detail relative to her". Criticism of Janeites mirrors to some degree criticism of Austen herself, that the enthusiasts' interests and Austen's focus herself are on the parochial or regionally social in a world that includes mass political movements, warfare, and the rise or decline of empire.
Janeitism did not begin until after the publication of J. E. Austen-Leigh's A Memoir of Jane Austen in 1870, when the literary elite felt that they had to separate their appreciation of Austen from that of the masses. The term Janeite was originally coined by the literary scholar George Saintsbury in his 1894 introduction to a new edition of Pride and Prejudice. As Austen scholar Deidre Lynch explains, "he meant to equip himself with a badge of honor he could jubilantly pin to his own lapel". In the early twentieth century, Janeitism was "principally a male enthusiasm shared among publishers, professors, and literati".Rudyard Kipling even published a short story entitled "The Janeites" about a group of World War I soldiers who were secretly fans of Austen's novels.

7 Nights - 7 Days
by: JeanetteHey, like a fallen angel I was on your side
You lighted the fire deep in my soul
Do you remember the stars shining bright?
I should retire under your control
In seven nights and days
Oh, you didn't think your thing would come crashing down
In seven lonely dreams
Oh, I know that you're not the one I'm waiting for
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, I carried the can
'Cause I let you go, all our bridges were burned
Oh boy, it's on the cards, I don't wanna return
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, you blew your chance
Love was not forever in your heart
Due to that we have to live apart
Nothing's forever, no use to try
There's no solution, don't make me blue
We tried together, I kiss you goodbye
This endless confusion should not come true
In seven nights and days
Oh, you didn't think your thing would come crashing down
In seven lonely dreams
Oh, I know that you're not the one that I'm waiting for
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, I carried the can
'Cause I let you go, all our bridges were burned
Oh boy, it's on the cards, I don't wanna return
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, you blew your chance
Love was not forever in your heart
Due to that we have to live apart
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, I carried the can
'Cause I let you go, all our bridges were burned
Oh boy, it's on the cards, I don't wanna return
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, you blew your chance
Love was not forever in your heart
Due to that we have to live apart
