Complete Jane Austen Region 1 DVDs available for preorder at WGBH
Thanks to Alert Janeite Silent Doug, who posted in the comments for the Region 2 S&S DVD, we discovered that WGBH has just about all the Region 1 DVDs for the Complete Jane Austen available for preorder, for release after their broadcast.
Northanger Abbey will be available first, on January 22, 2008. (Is it just us, or does JJ Feild look like somebody just kicked his Newfoundland in that cover photo?) Mansfield Park will be available on January 29. Persuasion will be available on February 12, and S&S, as mentioned below, on March 1.
Miss Austen Regrets so far seems available only “for educational use” (not sure what that means; possibly licensed to play to a large group?) and will be available on April 15, 2008. We imagine the regular consumer version will be available at the same time.
ETA: We’ve added links to the sidebar, to Amazon where available; interestingly, Persuasion 07 is listed as available in mid-January, which actually makes sense, since that is when it will be broadcast. As always, we use links to Amazon only for our convenience; if you are going to buy these DVDs, please patronize the online or brick and mortar establishment of your choice.
Even the BBC is calling it 2008, so we guess it is official!
