The Jane Austen Collection [Box Set]

The Jane Austen Collection [Box Set]

The popularity of the adaptations of Jane Austen's novels, nearly two hundred years after ... more

their original publication, is staggering. Much is
attributed to her use of such universal themes as
marriage, social pressure, and the generation gap;
many love her strong, spirited and unpretentious
heroines and her emphasis on reason, moderation,
fidelity and consideration; but most of all it is
her sparkling dialogue, razor-sharp wit,
marvellous characters and ingeniously intricate
plots that have made her a small screen
success.All these are intrinsic in the BBC
adaptations. Emma perfectly balances humour and
romance; Persuasion has a great strong heroine;
Sense and Sensibility features the duelling of
spirited sisters; Mansfield Park can claim
Austen's most outrageous supporting characters;
Northanger Abbey marvellously satirizes gothic
romances while the electric sensuality of Pride
and Prejudice has, with the courtship of Elizabeth
and Darcy, remained everyone's favourite love
story.

Jane Austen Collection (9 Discs) DVD

Set Comprises: Pride And Prejudice: The arrival of the wealthy Mr. Darcy in the ... more

neighbourhood causes great excitement within the
Bennet family. One of her five daughters  Mrs
Bennet feels  is sure to capture the heart of the
wealthy young aristocrat. That fate befalls the
spirited Elizabeth. Judging him on first
impressions and the malicious gossip of friends
she rejects his advances. However  as she busies
herself with the stormy romances and scandal of
her sisters  she once again finds herself in his
company. Gradually her opinions of this proud
young man begin to change...   Sense And
Sensibility: Jane Austen's tale of two devoted
sisters with totally differing attitudes to life
and love. Filmed on location in the stately homes
of picturesque Dorset and Somerset.   Mansfield
Park: True virtue triumphs over superficiality in
this distinguished BBC production of Jane Austen's
celebrated novel Mansfield Park.Set in 18th
century England  Jane Austen's tale of virtue and
vice  tells of young impoverished Fanny Price who
arrives at the elegant country estate of her uncle
 Sir Thomas Bertam. Snubbed by everyone except her
cousin Edmund  Fanny begins her long struggle for
acceptance by her shallow relatives who believe
wealth automatically means quality. When Fanny
finally wins the respect of her snobbish relatives
 she incurs the displeasure of her uncle by
rejecting the handsome philanderer Henry Crawford
because she has fallen in love with Edmund.  
Northanger Abbey: A tale of intrigue  adventure
and romance. This enchanting BBC dramatization
captures the spirit and wit of Austen's classic
novel Northanger Abbey. The setting is
eighteenth-century Bath  a society of decadence
and deceit  into which Catherine Morland arrives
bursting with freshness  integrity and a passion
for macabre Gothic novels. In a time when
materialism  not love  governs marriage 
Catherine's head is full of fantasy and fiction 
of maidens being abducted to sinister castles and
heroes riding to the rescue on white horses. When
romantic Henry Tilney invites her to his ancestral
home  Northanger Abbey  a dark mystery starts to
unfold that makes her blood run cold. Are her
fantasies coming true? What does the brooding
General Tilney want from her and will the truth
destroy her chance for love...?  Emma: This
splendid BBC dramatization brings to life all the
glorious wit and sharp humour of Jane Austen's -
arguably her finest - novel Emma  recreating her
most irritatingly endearing female character  of
whom she wrote "no one but myself could like."
Emma presides over the small provincial world of
Highbury with enthusiasm  but she will find that
it is all too easy to confuse good intensions with
self-gratification. the often insensitive  ever
well-meaning  incorrigible Emma Woodhouse having
engineered the marriage of governess  companion
and friend to Miss Taylor  now turns her attention
towards making a match for Mr. Elton  the local
vicar  and her new prot'ƒ‰g'ƒ‰e
Harriet Smith. Her one voice of reason and
restraint is Mr. Knightley  who has known her
since she was a child and who watches her
behaviour with wry amusement and sometimes anger. 
 Persuasion: "At nineteen  to involve yourself
with a man who had nothing but himself to
recommend him! Spirit and brilliance  to be sure 
but no fortune  and no connections! It was
entirely prudent of you to reject him." Anne has
spent over seven years regretting being persuaded
to reject the young Captain Wentwort.

All Jane Austen, All the Time

Advantages: It's a reasonable chick flick.
Disadvantages: It's very predictable.

When Sylvia's husband leaves her for another woman her friends rally round and start a book club to take her mind off her troubles. None of them are lucky in love. Jocelyn has decided she doesn't need love and fills the void with breeding dogs. Prudie is a high school French teacher ignored by her husband and tempted to have an affair with a student. Bernadette has been through several marriages and has decided she's entitled to be eccentric. Sylvia's lesbian daughter Allegra is having problems with her lover and Grigg, the only male member of the group is pining after one of the women but is unable to articulate his love. As the book club reads through the work of Jane Austen, they find themselves drawing ever closer parallels between their lives and the stories. Writer-director Robin Swicord knows her audience. She sticks to tried ...

The Jane Austen Book Club - Delightful Movie

Advantages: Insightful, entertaining, beautifully acted.
Disadvantages: None.

teacher who is battling an attraction to one of her students while her marriage slowly falls apart, and Grigg, a science fiction enthusiast who is attracted to Jocelyn and accepts to join the club in order to get to know her better. Unfortunately for Grigg, Jocelyn recruited him into the club in an attempt to hook him up with Sylvia, who, incidentally, is still in love with her ex-husband. Deciding that the club will be concentrating their efforts on Jane Austen's classic novels, the group meet up once a month in order to discuss one of the novels. During these discussions, the comments of the members begin to reveal their true natures, and friendships solidify and spill out into the 'real' world - a world devoid of Jane Austen. In between the book club meetings, life goes on as usual with Sylvia's ex husband constantly popping in to ...

Review of The Jane Austen Book Club (DVD)

All The Austen Without The Read

Advantages: Excellent entertainment
Disadvantages: Some of the productions are better than others

Jane Austen needs little or no introduction to both modern readers and viewers. She was one of the pioneers of the modern novel and her work continues to be read widely - not just for its historic value but for its entertainment too! Whilst some consider it to be "women's literature" this is simply because her heroines are young women. Frankly it is a gender-inspired argument as ridiculous as to say that Shakespeare is for men. Her novels are carefully crafted and exquisitely written snapshots of her era and if her social concerns are not as wide-ranging as, say, Charles Dickens' the wickedness of her wit is sharper through being muted. Since she unfortunately died at the early age of forty-one it is possible to present all Austen's mature works within one collection. This dvd set contains adaptations of all her adult novels and as ...
