Why We Should Care about Hallmark's "Loveuary" Movies

In this talk I examine Hallmark's 2024 Jane Austen "Loveuary" movies and address why it's important that we watch these films as testaments to Austen adaptations in current popular culture. This talk will address the four films but particularly the portrayal of Jane Austen in Love & Jane and the way An American in Austen revamps the Lost in Austen series for an American audience.

'Loveuary' was so fun this year-of the two films you talked about, An American in Austen was my favorite! I also had the same hang-ups about Love & Jane. Looking forward to checking out your essay on this!

Hi, everyone! Wondering where you might be able to watch these films? Some were available on Hallmark's streaming service called Hallmark Movies Now. www.hmnow.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwy8i0BhAkEiwAdFaeGON8AFKV8tl0ubFkfLsiN-k6vAQQ40UgmOVnimmlEpdNwzOrMnnxfhoCOFIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
