Bride and Prejudice(UK) was at best making mockery of such a great work as Pride and Prejudice. Its so sense-less, i wonder how Gurinder Chaddha can call it an "adaptation" of P&P. It lacks both spirit and plot of the actual work by Jane Austen.

hi Bookworm

I actually studied P&P for my English Lit.
I can't think of a better hero and heroine in all the books I have read. It is such a contemporary novel and equally relevant to today's world don't you think.
I have read Emma and also S&S by the same author,but preferred P&P.It was in a class of its own

Why is this thread no more active? I find very few posts on English literature nowadays??

Hi all,

I have been a fan of Jane Austen ever since my school days when I first read an abridged version of Pride & Prejudice, I read the complete version of it again and again...It's written with such a great taste of romance(love), marriage, life and a good sense of humour that the characters in the novel never die in your memory...Most of all, I like the conversations in the novel, especially the ones between Darcy & Elizabeth and Elizabeth & Jane...Equally good are the settings of the story and ofcourse one can't appreciate enough, the subtleness of the feelings of love that Darcy and Elizabeth develop for each other gradually (well, not exactly gradually but it seems so!)...I saw a movie version of P & P, it was good though not as good as the novel...I read Emma, it was also a masterpiece...I didn't read Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey or any of her other novels! which is the best among them?

IT IS NOT ONLY EMMA BUT EVEN THE OTHER NOVELS OF JANE AUSTEN THAT MAKE VERY ISDEAL ARM CHAIR READING. i THINK JANE HAS PROVIDED AMPLE REFERENCE TO OUR INDIAN MOVIE WRITERS

I love Sense and Sensibility and yes, K & K is a tamil version of it, though I prefer the original book.

Emma, Pride & Prejudice; and Sense & Sensibility are my favs of Jane Austen...

and no movies can compare to her book....:thumbusp:

Pride and Prejudice was my all time favourite.

Hi! I just came by here, thinking of starting a Pride and Prejudice thread, bcos I m studying it in school and yay! There is already a discussion.

Just wanna ask you guys a question for a class debate: Do you think that Darcy is a sympathetic character?

[shenacatro]

I'm still reading her emma.going good

I came across Persuasion - a jane austen book, not well known, though.

An absolute classic.

Jane Austen is truly the greatest english writer.
