Bunches of frabjous things to relate:
1) BBC is remaking Jane Austen's Persusaion for 2007. See a few brief glimpses
here at YouTube. Captain Wentworth looks absolutely scrumptious and since this is on the top of my fave Austen novels, I hope they do this one justice.
2) May I present, the
AustenBlog? As they say on the website, AustenBlog is a compendium of news about Jane Austen in popular culture: mentions in newspaper articles, books and magazines; film adaptations; paraliterature such as continuations of the novels or modern retellings; Austen-related events; and other manifestations of the delightful way in which Jane Austen and her work have informed today’s popular culture. As our tagline says, “She’s everywhere.” Aaaannnnddd, it's syndicated for LJ!
austenblog 3) Yet another Jane Austen goodness... A
blog devoted entirely to Jane Austen quotes. Yum. Not sure if it's syndicated on LJ yet, but I'll make it myself if it isn't.
4) BBC's Jane Eyre is FINALLY coming to PBS in January!!
