Imagine my Swiss son’s gymnase matura mates keeping up over a ski weekend with the TV Firth P&P. One young Vaudoise protests, “How CAN Charlotte marry Mr. Collins? The other five burst out as one, “Parce qu’elle n’a aucune PROSPECTS!!!” Charlotte’s economic plight crossed all barriers of century and nationality.
Daughter and I loved the British Library Gothic exhibition where the curators amassed in a glass case all the first editions of the racy thrillers named in Northanger Abbey
Oh that was glorious. From the "little jane austen bomb" to the fabulous behind-the-scenes remembrance into my favourite Austen adaptation of all time, the Persuasion film with Amanda Root, etc, to the fantastic balance of academic knowledge with cinematic and theatrical excellence, thank you!
I am in awe! A brilliant conversation centering on-yes! What I most love and treasure about Jane Austen’s books: the narrative voice! And so rarely the focus of “things Austen” in my experience. I adapted Persuasion for Chamber Theatre for the 1984 JASNA AGM in St. Louis-cast of 42 with narrator front and center. Robert Bremen, developer of the technique, was most interested in the topic of your discussion: how do you convey that in film. The power of the camera. The best discussion I have ever experienced. Rich. Thank you all so much--
I loved all Austen adaptations, even 1995 Persuasion, which is not one of my fav Austen novel. And this is a brilliant and stimulating conversation so, please JA House, give us much more👌
Thank you. Lots of ground covered from 3 different perspectives, and so full of interest. Much appreciated. Love Chawton cottage, and couldn't get over the tiny table which was JA's habitual desk.
Lovely. I also laughed often. Austen always makes me smile, as if you are sharing secrets together. Thank you everyone. Like many, I am currently enjoying Mr. West in ACGS. ❤
The only and prime problem with him was that he looked far too old. Certainly to vie for the affection of two young teenage girls. It was absurd. I love him, but sadly the Wentworth of, say, the 2007 version makes more sense.
no film of an hour and a half can even begin to capture JA personally I have never watched any production under 5 hours. I wonder that you have chosen such shallow adaptions

Persuasion 1995 is my favourite!
Samuel West could read me the phonebook at night, I love his voice, it's so calming.
A close second to Alan Rickman ❤
How to spot a cad: pointed sideburns 🤣

That’s why Persuasion is the best of them all, (don’t forget Redgrave also)
Wonderful, thank you. I live in a small Northamptonshire village, in which a former paper mill, provided paper to Jane Austen.

This was just wonderful! I could have listened to a few more hours of this discussion!
I wish I could have seen their adaptation of The Watsons.

Thank you for a wonderful conversation.
Mr Bennet’s delivery of key observations is critical to conveying the missing Austen voice in films of P&P
Really enjoyed this discussion. Thank you.

Just a joy to hear this discussion, thank you! ❤

I re-read Jane Austen's work regularly and gain something new from then every time
Lovely. I also laughed often. Austen always makes me smile, as if you are sharing secrets together. Thank you everyone. Like many, I am currently enjoying Mr. West in ACGS. ❤
Lovely discussion! Really enlightening. Thanks to the three of you!!!
Thank you, it was brilliant and very enjoying
Doesn't limited space also reflect the nature of the society at the time, as well
Okay, this has just started for me and I'm thrilled. BTW, I really enjoy Samuel West in All Creatures Great and Small.
That ended up being one of my favorite shows.
This was just wonderful! Thank you.
This lecture was a HUGE treat! Thank you, I enjoyed it very much! 👏👏👏🤩📚📚📚
Thank you! Just wonderful !
Fascinating. More please! (Minus the constant “Mmmm” of agreement in the background tho. 😆)
Ciaran Hinds as Captain Wentworth for me...woah...
The only and prime problem with him was that he looked far too old. Certainly to vie for the affection of two young teenage girls. It was absurd. I love him, but sadly the Wentworth of, say, the 2007 version makes more sense.
the 1970 persuasion is excellent even though the hair styling is strange It is pretty close to the novel as to script and character
❤️
But Joe Wright’s P&P was set too early, not Regency either, pretty much panned in the New Yorker
Particularly for women!
“Becoming Jane” talks about new novels were.
I found Rozema's MP a shameful abuse of Austen
I've never favored Darcy. I much prefer Edward Ferrars and Frederick Wentworth.
I wish my new favourite had been discussed - there's not enough love for "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" on the Internet... ;)
