Jane Austen

The 1999 film adaptation of Mansfield Park doesn’t quite work, but then, for many of us, neither does the book. Why is this Jane Austen novel so problematic for us?

A masterpiece of intimacy, passion, and second chances that also happens to feature a great cast, the 1995 Persuasion is the best Austen movie adaptation yet.

Netflix's Bridgerton has brought the romance of the Regency era to streaming. But with Season 2 not yet greenlit, we have a few PBS drama suggestions for what to watch next.

The CW, a network that is best known for its superhero series based on DC comic book properties and teen-focused dramas like Riverdale, is working on a new anthology series based on the works of none other than Jane Austen.

The popular Succession actress Sarah Snook will lead a new feature film adaptation of Jane Austen's final complete novel, Persuasion. 

In the wake of a new theatrical version of Emma and the U.S. broadcast of new series Sanditon earlier this year, 2020 has proven a pretty great year to be a Jane Austen fan. And with everything going on in the world right now, there may still be no better time to turn to Austen’s works for some much-needed escape.

This year's new big-screen adaptation of Emma is funny, fresh, and fast-paced with great direction and an amazing cast. Let's take a look at what works, and unfortunately, what doesn't in the film. 

Sanditon is the only novel by Jane Austen to feature a black character. But given the diversity of late Georgian society, wouldn't her contemporary readers have assumed people of color were there anyway?
