The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe, a free ebook by the gals is now offere on Girlebooks. Their highest rated book? Pride and Prejudice, of course. You can download these books and other great classics in several formats.

Seen Over the Ether: A Room With A View

Click here for my review of A Room With a View, 2007. What did you think of the new Andrew Davies adaptation that just aired on PBS’s Masterpiece Classic? Did it compare to Merchant and Ivory’s 1985 cinematic gem? Did you think the ending make sense? To my way of thinking, it was completely wrong. E.M. Forster mentioned 50 years later that George would return to Florence, not die on the battlefield.
Seen over the Ether: Emma and Sense & Sensibility

PBS Masterpiece Classic resumed The Complete Jane Austen last Sunday with the rebroadcast of the 1997 adaptation of Emma. My favorable review of the film sits in the post below. Ellen Moody expressed different thoughts about Mr. Knightley in her blog, Ellen and Jim Have a Blog, Too. Click here to read why she thinks there’s something odd about him.
Ellen is the creator of the Jane Austen almanac. If you haven’t yet come across her calendars of Jane’s novels, click here. They are remarkably useful.
Kaye Daycus compared the two Emmas in her Fun Friday review. I wonder what she’ll come up with for this Friday?
As always, there’s a lively discussion going on at Austen Blog. This time it’s Emma’s turn. Join in the fun and leave your opinion.
Over at Jane Austen Today, the second guest blogger, Barbara Larochelle, moderator of the Sense and Sensibility discussion group at The Republic of Pemberley, gives us her thoughts about the new film adaptation of Sense & Sensibility. I believe she likes it.
