Description

The first comprehensive television biography of Jane Austen, the first indisputable genius of the English novel. This definitive documentary will satisfy the surge of interest in her life following the acclaimed BBC adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, and forthcoming productions of Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility and at least two Emmas. Fast-paced and witty, this film visits the stately home of her brothers, the ballrooms of her friends, and the beach at Sidmouth where she fell in love. Descendents of her aristocratic family and contemporary writers including P. D. James act as guides through her life.
