THE REAL JANE AUSTEN on British Columbia public television network
THE REAL JANE AUSTEN will be shown on the Knowledge Network in British Columbia, Canada at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 11, 2005.
This program paints a vivid portrait of one of the greatest talents in English literature - Jane Austen. Viewers discover the woman behind the acclaimed works, revealing her as part of a society much crueler in its treatment of women and harsher in its economic realities than her novels convey. We also see a woman with a tragic love life who did not enjoy the ‘happy ending’ that she often bestowed upon her female characters. Filmed in locations associated with Austen, including her birthplace, this documentary provides a wonderful reconstruction of her life from a young child to her death in 1817.
We’d love to publish your review of the program!
