Haven't there been enough movies based on P & P? Austen wrote six novels and the minor works. Why don't they look at Edgeworth's Belinda or Burton's Self Control. The latter would be a great one as

I'm reading it and it's excellent. I also recommend as the best book on Austen I've read in a long time, Janet Todd's Living with Jane Austen ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Thornfield

I have not liked last couple of faithful type aausten movies. I didn’t like their exaggerations nor shallow comic tone. Olivia Coleman must go along. The movie where she played Queen Anne was an
