The first movie that came to mind when I saw this cartoon is Netflix's redo of Persuasion, which SO MANY PEOPLE HATED because of the alleged "modernity." (I really like the movie, and I stand on this hill.) #AmReading #AmWriting @bookstodon #books #Bookstodon #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #Regency #Georgian #JaneAusten @romancelandia
Elle does a great job of introducing the year of Austen and listing the best events to attend. The article is worth a read! https://www.elledecor.com/life-culture/a64178562/jane-austen-250-birthday-england-uk/ #AmReading #AmWriting @bookstodon #books #Bookstodon #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #Regency #Georgian #JaneAusten @romancelandia

My first Austen.
Quite different from what I expected.
Everything seems to be about wealth and money.
Interesting and challenging - I just did not get a few sentences and verbs and expressions.
And I think we overanalyse and project too much when reading classics.
Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must find a wife in Kdrama .”
Free after Jane Austen in P&P 
We see social mobility throughout Austen and the Brontës' work, from low social order to rich heiresses. Austen was very keen on telling the story of social mobility during her lifetime because she also lived it.

When it comes to essays like this, I tend to skip around but this time, I read it from start to finish. Colm Tóibín on PERSUASION and Rebecca Kuang's humorous look at how PRIDE AND PREJUDICE shaped her family's life are both great reads. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/15/much-darker-than-pride-and-prejudice-authors-pick-their-favourite-jane-austen-novel

A friend lived near Basildon Park, which played Netherfield in the 2005 P+P. I toured the home, and it was AMAZING. Since so much of the property was used in the 2005 version, the house had an exhibit celebrating the movie. (Basildon Park is NOT mentioned in the article.)

Oho - a D&D character alignment chart using the characters of the 1995 BBC screen adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Pride & Prejudice.
Checks out, IMO.
This question is familiar to me because I asked a variation of it a couple of months ago. I love the idea of living in a village like Meryton. What about you?
