greeting-card- elizabeth -bennet- mr - darcy It’s Valentine’s Day and on such an occasion it’s only appropriate to recognize arguably the greatest love story ever told. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice is a very romantic novel. Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy are literature’s greatest lovers and remain the standard by which all couples in a love story are compared. When Jane Austen created the spirited Elizabeth and the brooding Mr. Darcy she probably had no idea that she was setting in motion two hundred years of fascination. Very few pieces of writing have entered our cultural consciousness and have remained as fresh and captivating as this tale.

Looking for something to read as the festive season winds to a close? Well turn off the TV and warm your heart with Christmas themed reads that will satisfy the Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice fan who can appreciate a good retelling or variation inspired by her work. The one thing that we can all probably agree on is that reading a Holiday romance around this time of year makes everything feel just a little bit more magical.   There’s just something that makes us want to curl up somewhere cozy with a familiar, feel-good story.   Even though it may be cliché, the thought of sitting by a fireplace, reading nook, or getting into bed early to settle down with a new tome is a comforting and wonderful experience.   Nothing quite celebrates the feeling of the season like an engaging and utterly charming book.

Elizabeth Bennet  and Fitzwilliam Darcy are arguably  Jane Austen 's  most beloved characters, moreover they are one of the most celebrated couples in literature.  Their story of Pride and Prejudice  (1813)  is one of the earliest models of the classic love/hate relationship seen often in novels and specifically in romantic comedies.

I had the pleasure in being invited to guest blog at  Karin Quint 's Dutch Jane Austen website : Jane Austen.nl , in which I wrote about The Magic Feeling of Watching Pride & Prejudice (2005)   film. Her website is also celebrating the 10th year anniversary of the P&P (2005) movie with a P&P viewing party  for P&P fans (to celebrate this movie's Dutch Cinema release : September 22, 2005 ) this week, on Friday ( September 25th )! In return, I asked her to guest blog here (thanks a lot,  Karin ) and talk about this movie as our   P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary  event  here continues...She's not a big fan of this movie, but she does like other things about it and watching it, loves the movie soundtrack, and appreciates director Joe Wright 's  different approach and artistic choices in adapting Jane Austen 's classic Pride and Prejudice novel into a 2-hour film. Read Karin 's different perspective on Joe Wright 's...

I am always baffled and downright mystified by how many self-described Austen fans disparage the 2005 feature film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice . It’s understandable that many, including myself, have a deep and abiding affection for a beloved work of fiction and that this same affinity yields very strong feelings. However, what I don’t quite comprehend is the reasoning behind the disdain, which can be frequently assigned to purists and/or devotees of the seminal 1995 BBC/A&E mini-series . First and foremost an adaptation can't possibly be an exact replica. Film is an entirely different medium and it needn't be precise in order to have merit.  by    slightly everything

It’s hard for me not to think of Pride & Prejudice (2005) and not think of how the cinematography, particularly the scenes of nature influence my enjoyment of this film.The imagery is lush and the locations are sumptuous. After all, what is a Jane Austen adaptation without landscapes playing a major role? The influence of her garden and the surrounding fields of the English terrain are evident in her writing of the outdoors. by   norika21

JAFF is a sub-genre inspired by the original narratives of  Jane Austen 's  (1775-1817) beloved novels.  JAFF novels run the gamut of numerous sub-categories. The varieties are classified according to the story’s main theme, which include: prequels , sequels , re-tellings , variations , continuations , mash-ups , paranormal , bio-fics , mysteries , anthologies , young adult , and moderns .  It is because Jane Austen left her characters' lives to continue in our imaginations that we want them to.  Each new imagining is just that, a conception of what those lives might be as envisioned by other writers.  The timelessness of Austen’s work is a marvelous thing.  Of course, Jane Austen’s writing is unparalleled, but these explorations are nonetheless compelli...
