Re: Jane Austen Thread

I have only read Pride and Prejudice, though I started Emma before I lost my copy. Which sucks because I was actually really into it. (Emma was so terrible it was entertaining.) I did finally find it, but by then had moved on to other things and never got back into it. Kind of like being interrupted during dinner and losing your appetite once you finally sit down again.

Anyway, I couldn't get into P&P the first time, but then I started watching The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and then I watched the BBC P&P miniseries. I actually found the novel easier to get into having seen the miniseries. The irony for me is that my writing professors always told me I needed more description, and yet (as one of my classmates pointed out!) Pride and Prejudice was very much void of it, to the point at which Darcy just starts talking and there'd been no indication he was even in the room. Stuff like that threw me off the first time.

SA - I should note that I meant Emma the character was entertainingly horrible, not the novel!

Well, not having a great deal of description was Austen's style, but that doesn't make it the best choice for a modern piece of writing... for pretty much the reason you've already discovered in Austen's work re: Darcy's presence.
