Jane Austen on Screen

Rating:
Summary: Best book to date
Review: This book is much better than the previous "Jane Austen in Hollywood" and would suit anyone interested in the adaptations. I would recommend it highly to janeites and film students alike. Highlight chapters are "Janeite Culture: What does the name jane austen authorize?" and "Sense and Sensibility in a post-feminist world: sisterhood is still powerful". This book is a refreshing look at the adaptations by not hammering the film ethusiasts vs literary purists debate throughout the entire book; rather, dedicating one chapter to it. It is comprehensive study and good value for money.
