Jane Austen in the 21st Century
Well, it makes a change from Buck Rogers…
This JA is recreating the world of Jane Austen (known here as The Great JA) in the 21st century, starting with Emma.
Meridian-ITV/A&E drama, 1996, starring Mark Strong and Kate Beckinsale - screenplay by Andrew Davies.
The happy couple, seen enjoying one of Mr Knightley’s many jokes.
That Shirt, in its prime
Encouraged by Andrew Davies’ fearless approach to adapting The Great JA for TV (including Pride and Prejudice, starring That Shirt), this JA set out to make Knightley (known as ‘Mr’ to his family and friends) as sexy as Colin Firth.
Only you, dear reader, can judge if she’s succeeded. Buy The Importance of Being Emma - paperback or download - from Choc Lit. In the meantime, you can read some thoughts about Mr Knightley.
Next on the list is Persuade Me, to be published later this year.
And number three will be Northanger Nights.
