• Willoughby’s Return by Jane Odiwe

  
  Laura's Reviews — Authority: 422
  Willoughby is the Austen bad boy that I can’t quite find it within myself to hate. He does more despicable deeds than most Austen bad boys (he impregnated and left Eliza and then ditched Marianne for a lady with more money!), yet he comes clean with Elinor and tells her that he did indeed love Marianne, but had to ...

• Austen-fest Day 1 – Bride and Prejudice

  
  Fleur Fisher reads — Authority: 127
  I’m not usually a lover of resettings of Jane Austen’s plots. Yet this film kept calling to me. And so when it caught my eye on the DVD shelf in the library I picked it up, paid my £3 and brought it home. I’m glad that I did. The vibrancy, the colour and the sheer enthusiasm sold it. And the transposition of ...

• Emma - Jane Austen

  
  Aneca's World — Authority: 128
  EMMA, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In it, we have her two greatest comic creations -- the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. In it, too, we have her most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a ...

  Fleur Fisher reads — Authority: 127
  What do you do when the temperature drops, the wind howls and the rain pours? I often escape in a book. And this book took me on a walking tour with Jane Austen. First we walked near Jane’s childhood home in Steventon. The church walk and the woodland walk were both lovely. We saw the homes of many of Jane’s ...

• Miss Austen Regrets

  
  Aneca's World — Authority: 128
  The story of this movie stemms from one episode in JAs life, a marriage proposal she accepted only to refuse a few hours later, and imagines what would have happened had she regretted that action, as the plot of Persuasion seems to suggest. It might be strong temptation to examine Jane Austens real life the truth is ...

Monica Fairview has written a tale that perfectly captures Austen’s original characters, while managing to fill out and change our perceptions of the “villainous” Caroline Bingley. The Other Mr. Darcy starts on the day of Mr. Darcy and ...
