Product Description

Ever since William Caxton set his first printing presses rolling in the 15th Century, the demand for truly great writers has always exceeded supply. Nevertheless there are a select few who richly deserve this much coveted title, although no two people will ever agree on who the accolade should be awarded to because we all have our own particular favorites. But one name that appears with great regularity is Jane Austen, the author of such classics as Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. With 21st Century film adaptations of her novels, and the life story of Jane Austen herself, proving to be successful, her writing is as popular today as when she first put pen to paper, more than two hundred years ago. So, what is it that makes Jane Austen a great writer? Step back in time and enter the elegant period of history known as the Regency and find the "Lady" who breathed life into such sparkling characters as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, who have in turn gone on to inspire more recent romantic novelists to follow in Jane Austen's footsteps.

    This short and delicate biographical sketch of Jane Austin did for me what I had hoped it would. It introduced me to the real Jane Austin and the events in her life that shaped her into the beloved authoress that she is. Highly recommend watching it if you consider yourself to be a Jane Austin fan!

    No Sound!!! As there seems to be no way to make a request for a refund regarding a video, I am writing it here in the hope that someone from Amazon will read it and take an action. Similar things have happened previously(e.g. billing me for a Prime 00.00 video). I have rated this item with one star because you cannot enter a review without a rating. Obviously, I would not have entered any stars were it not required.

    The narrator became annoying; everything began to be “delightful”. About half of the presentation is spent on the various locations Miss Austen lived and her family (brothers and sister). The presentation then goes forward to tie Miss Austen's real life to the stories and characters she developed and shared. Overall, it is about average for a biography.

    A bit slow, but fairly complete history. Lecture format a bit pedantic, but good info not generally including in most online Jane Austen biographies.

    I am not usually fond of documentaries but this historical rendition of Jane Austen's life seemed to be more interesting that I usually find biographies. I guess I am just a Jan Austenoholic.

    boring, poorly done, not very informative. I wish I had paid attention to the rating before renting it. Not even worth $1.99

    This has a male narrator and focuses on the locations of her life. Very enjoyable.
