Pride And Prejudice - The arrival of the wealthy Mr. Darcy in the
neighbourhood causes great excitement within the Bennet family. One of her five
daughters, Mrs Bennet feels, is sure to capture the heart of the wealthy young
aristocrat. That fate befalls the spirited Elizabeth. Judging him on first
impressions and the malicious gossip of friends she rejects his advances.
However, as she busies herself with the stormy romances and scandal of her
sisters, she once again finds herself in his company. Gradually her opinions of
this proud young man begin to change...
Sense And Sensibility - Jane Austen's tale of two devoted sisters with
totally differing attitudes to life and love. Filmed on location in the stately
homes of picturesque Dorset and Somerset.
Mansfield Park - True virtue triumphs over superficiality in this
distinguished BBC production of Jane Austen's celebrated novel Mansfield
Park.Set in 18th century England, Jane Austen's tale of virtue and vice, tells
of young impoverished Fanny Price who arrives at the elegant country estate of
her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertam. Snubbed by everyone except her cousin Edmund,
Fanny begins her long struggle for acceptance by her shallow relatives who
believe wealth automatically means quality. When Fanny finally wins the respect
of her snobbish relatives, she incurs the displeasure of her uncle by rejecting
the handsome philanderer Henry Crawford because she has fallen in love with
Edmund.
Northanger Abbey - A tale of intrigue, adventure and romance. This
enchanting BBC dramatization captures the spirit and wit of Austen's classic
novel Northanger Abbey. The setting is eighteenth-century Bath, a society of
decadence and deceit, into which Catherine Morland arrives bursting with
freshness, integrity and a passion for macabre Gothic novels. In a time when
materialism, not love, governs marriage, Catherine's head is full of fantasy and
fiction, of maidens being abducted to sinister castles and heroes riding to the
rescue on white horses. When romantic Henry Tilney invites her to his ancestral
home, Northanger Abbey, a dark mystery starts to unfold that makes her blood run
cold. Are her fantasies coming true? What does the brooding General Tilney want
from her and will the truth destroy her chance for love...?
Emma - This splendid BBC dramatization brings to life all the glorious
wit and sharp humour of Jane Austen's - arguably her finest - novel Emma,
recreating her most irritatingly endearing female character, of whom she wrote
"no one but myself could like." Emma presides over the small provincial world of
Highbury with enthusiasm, but she will find that it is all too easy to confuse
good intensions with self-gratification. the often insensitive, ever
well-meaning, incorrigible Emma Woodhouse having engineered the marriage of
governess, companion and friend to Miss Taylor, now turns her attention towards
making a match for Mr. Elton, the local vicar, and her new protÉgÉe Harriet
Smith. Her one voice of reason and restraint is Mr. Knightley, who has known her
since she was a child and who watches her behaviour with wry amusement and
sometimes anger.
Persuasion - "At nineteen, to involve yourself with a man who had nothing
but himself to recommend him! Spirit and brilliance, to be sure, but no fortune,
and no connections! It was entirely prudent of you to reject him." Anne has
spent over seven years regretting being persuaded to reject the young Captain
Wentwort.
