The real Jane Austen 5-8

A BBC documentary produced in 2002 and directed by Nicky Patterson. The narrator Anne Chancellor is related to Jane Austen herself and played the part of Caroline Bingley in BBC' s "Pride and Prejudice" (1995).

This video was up until recently in user's "inmypooropinion" channel which was closed. The only reason I upload it is because it was a favorite with some people. But, as I recognize the effort and time to prepare a video, I felt that I should give my due to "inmypooropinion" and in case he/she creates a different channel and wants to use his/her videos again, he/she can notify me with a private message to withdraw it.

It's so sad that women had to choose between love or self preservation. Jane Austen was revolutionary.

Not a lot of say for unmarried women living with their parents in those days....sad. However I suppose if you still live with your parents these days and they decide to move shop and they havent got the room you pretty much in a similar position. Hopefully the vultures wouldn't be circling as much as in janes case though,

Is Henry played by Jack Davenport? I can't see him properly, but I think I recognized his voice!

The way Jane's brother and wife moves in with such haste resembles, the prospect that Mr.Collins could have taken the Bennet's home in P&P and the way John Dashwood and his wife Fanny in how they took over Marianne's, Elinor's and their mother's home in S&S.
