XxCoolBritannaxX Your favorite film adaptation of Mansfield Park? Sep 12, 2008 3:56 PM Mansfield Park, for me and I know a lot of people, is one of Jane Austen's harder novels to come to grips with. So do you feel that any of the three film adaptations have come close to the spirit of the original novel? Or has there yet to be one that truly represents Mansfield Park?
CiaoBella Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict Author Chat Aug 11, 2008 5:07 PM Greetings fellow Janeites! For those of you that have read the book Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler and might have questions for the author, there will be a chat with Ms. Rigler on Tuesday, August 12th at 7 pm Pacific time and 10 pm EST. You'll also have a chance to win one of 5 free copies of Laurie's book. Here is the blog site for more information: http://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/ For those of you that haven't read Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict here is a book review from Publishers Weekly: A clever time-travel setup functions as the prime attraction for this breezy debut novel. Courtney Stone, a single Los Angeles woman recovering from the double whammy of a broken engagement and a failed friendship, wakes up after a night of self-medicating with her drug of choice, Jane Austen novels, to find herself in 1813 England. She's inhabiting the body of Jane Mansfield, a manor-born Englishwoman who, at 30, has yet to find a husband, confounding her humorless, Miss Bossy-corset stand-in mother. While still haunted by real-life memories, Courtney, as Jane, soon gets swept up in this Austenesque world of decadent meals and grand balls, gentlemen in form-fitting knee breeches and traveling with her friend Mary, whose brother, Charles Edgeworth, appears to have an interest in Jane that Courtney struggles to understand. As her identity starts to meld with Jane's, Courtney rethinks who she wants to be (and to be with) in any time period. While her 21st-century anachronisms can be comical, Courtney, for such an Austen addict, is unconvincingly naïve about Regency norms. Fans of the ever-expanding inspired-by-Austen-lit garden party will find a winner here; it doesn't hurt that Austen has a brief, comical cameo.
elle86 Persuasion BBC soundtrack? Jun 6, 2008 8:56 AM I've been looking online and can't seem to find the soundtrack to the new version of Persuasion - and the music is really beautiful. I believe Martin Phipps composed it.... does anyone know where I could find it? Any help would be much appreciated! :)
