SHOWNOTES
Beth’s favorite Jane Austen website: Jane Austen Center
Beth’s recommended movie versions of Jane’s novels
Pride and Prejudice – Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth – BBC/A&E, 1995
Sense and Sensibility – Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant – Columbia, 1995
Emma – Gwyneth Paltrow – Miramax, 1996 OR Emma -Romola Garai – BBC, 2009 (Just watch them both!)
Northanger Abbey – Felicity Jones – 2006
Persuasion – 1995
Mansfield Park – Sylvestra Le Touzel – BBC 1986*
*Beth says: This is part of the Jane Austen Collection and has the best version available of Mansfield Park. All six novels were made into films in this collection. They are faithful to the stories, but lack the cinematography that the other more recent & modern adaptations offer.
Non-recommended movies, but FYI, they exist:
Love and Friendship (The movie version of the novella Lady Susan. Beth recommends you read the short novella first and save it for after you’re familiar with the six novels.)
Becoming Jane (It’s not really true to her life, but it’s fun!)
It was all things Jane when we recorded!
