In addition...Let's not forget the film adaptations! In addition to the Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice adaptations mentioned, the library has a number of film versions of Emma and Sense and Sensibility, and one each of Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey. The most recent Sense and Sensibility adaptation (BBC, 2008) comes in a two DVD set which includes the magnificent and thought-provoking "Miss Austen Regrets," with Olivia Williams playing Jane Austen. I find that, whether I enjoy the the movies a lot or not so much, they urge me to go back to the novels, which are a perpetual delight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
