If it ever
so happens that I get to confess my love for Jane Austen, people usually assume
– if they don’t just think I’m an even
bigger nerd than I was before – I just really enjoy the Pride and Prejudice movie with Kiera Knightley. Now, I really do love
that film. I probably watched it over twenty times and I will admit that with
every time my crush on Mr. Darcy became bigger (gah!). Still, when I say I love
Jane Austen I’m not just talking about that movie. I am actually talking about
all her novels, but also about the really cool spin-offs that have sprung up in
the last 200 years. In the last two years or so that I have been reading
Austen’s novels, I’ve stumbled upon lots of these new adaptations. Because I think
some of these gems are worth checking out, even if you’re not into Regency
novels and stuck-up guys in tight pants, I decided to share my favorite ones
with you today.
