Cinematic Versions of Jane Austen
Recently, I blogged about the latest film version of a Jane Austen novel to be released. I write Austen-related adaptations/sequels, as well as contemporary and Regency era books, but many of my readers come to me via an Austen film. They see the movie/TV adaptation and become hooked on the story lines.

Jane Austen’s novels have never been out of print. It would seem that we might say the same thing of cinematic adaptations.
Wow.. thanks for the list. I never knew there were so many films based on the books.. Gives me something to watch!
wow, that’s alot. I don’t think I’ve seen half of them at least.
It is daunting to think how much of the Austen’s cinematic legacy has been lost.
