Jane Austen’s witty heroines and dashing yet complex romantic interests have been adapted very often to cinema and TV.
Biopic movies have always been popular. The books they’re based on are an opportunity to delve into the lives of those characters.
“Awful film adaptations follow novelists for the rest of their lives.”
