Pt III of III
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
Novels
Our favorite adaptations:
BBC P&P (1995) - the best! Starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle
S&S (1995) - Emma Thompson won an Oscar for Best Adaptation and a new husband
Enjoyable Austen fan fiction:
These are the very best:
Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001) - Colin Firth again! Both a tribute and its own thing.
Lost in Austen (2008) - 4-part BBC TV series: Modern day Londoner switches places with Elizabeth Bennett - adorable!
These are fun too:
Austenland (2013)- rom-com about immersive Austen cosplay
Becoming Jane (2007) - starring Anne Hathaway as Austen in a fictionalized story about her failed romance with Tom LeFroy
Death Comes to Pemberley (2013) - BBC 3-part murder mystery based the book by E. L. James
