- In six extraordinary works, she cast her ironic but ultimately sympathetic eye on the life of privilege in Georgian England. But her work was not appreciated until well after her lifetime. Jane Austen's books have been in print continuously for over two centuries. They have been made into movies sometimes several times in a single year. Her wit and wisdom remain undimmed, though the world s
DVD Reviews of Biography - Jane Austen
DVD Review: Disappointed........
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this DVD very disappointing. It attempted to present an interesting position about Jane Austen's life but it fell short in the area of facts about her life. Nothing can be worse, in my opinion, than when a documentary distorts the facts about a famous person's life but it is even worse when they get some of them completely wrong like this one did. Their attempt to make a more worldly perspective on Jane Austen was interesting but I found this annoying because it was the focus of the whole documentary after a while. At this time in history it seems that everyone is trying to make things more global! I am glad that women in Iran are reading Jane Austen and that India is turned on by it, that is great, but I wanted to know more about Jane Austen herself not have to endure some feminist plateau so that somehow we could take a simple Regency woman's writing to push our own subjective views or cause. I also resented that the only man on the DVD that liked and talked about Jane Austen was portrayed as a person who was effeminant. Why can't a man like Jane Austen's books? Just because Jane Austen's female characters were strong does not mean they were feminists. The kind of feminism that we experience now in the USA, something I am glad exists, did NOT exist in Jane Austen's time. If you read her letters you would see she is a proper, subservient female of her own era. Certainly I have nothing against her characterisms of strong women, though. I would have liked to see in this DVD more attention to the accurate details of Austen's life and work is all.
