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
