Buy This Item Sense & Sensibility Collector's Set (Sense &... by BBC Warner  Available from Amazon  $34.99  on 11-14-2008     1) Sense and Sensibility From acclaimed writer Andrew Davies (BBCs Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth) comes this enchanting new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel about love and marriage. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor, sensitive to social convention, struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love? 2) Miss Austen Regrets A biopic unraveling the secrets of the elusive author based on Jane Austen's actual letters and diaries. 3) Persuasion Anne Elliot fell deeply in love with the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth at the age of nineteen. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne was persuaded to break off her engagement. Eight years later, Anne has lived to regret her decision. She never stopped loving Wentworth, and when he returns from sea with fortune and rank, she can only watch as every eligible young woman in the district falls at his feet. Reader Reviews If Becoming Jane intrigued you earlier this year,then MISS AUSTEN REGRETS will wrap you in a mystery of intrigue and what ifs almost as good as Austen herself could write. Olivia Williams takes on a "possible" Miss Jane Austen and inhabits the woman everyone admires, but of whom so little is really known. If you are a fan of the HBO series Five Days (HBO Miniseries) then you will know why this screenplay is so outstanding in depth and character in a tight time frame; Gwyneth Hughes is the writer and she turns out wit,sass and wisdom the same way,if not more ferociously, than Austen's characters ever did. Hughes asserts that Jane is a flirt and "sure, as we become of a man's attachment,we become indifferent" and "Rich is just another word for safe!" Hughes has Austen even complimenting a man who had read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE for observing that "She only gave her heart to Darcy once she saw how big his house was!".This "created" Jane is fascinating and is a masterpiece of invention based on little fact.This Jane is NOT her "marry-only-for-love" heroines.Hughes has invented a far different Jane that proposes that she was not at all like her characters.This may upset some people,but WOW does it open possibilities for the world of the real Jane Austen.
