olde_fashioned: (read -- Vigee LeBrun)
A very large and very random batch of Regency and Jane Austen themed icons from various icontests. Some of these are a bit old, since I haven't posted an icontest dump in quite a while. ;-) Nearly all of the Jane Austen adaptations are represented, some art and fashion plates of the period, and there is also a Pride & Prejudice journal header and a matching friends only banner.

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Since this was part of the Complete Jane Austen season including ITV's laughable Manfield Park and the less-than-perfect Persuasion, I was dubious at best about what to expect from Miss Austen Regrets. I had thought it would be lame and sentimental without any substance, and riddled with inaccuracies. Having watched this last night, I was most pleasantly surprised.

I am going to say again that ever since seeing the Kate Beckinsale adaptation of Emma with Olivia Williams as Jane Fairfax (who played Jane Austen in Miss Austen Regrets) I have always believed she would be an excellent Jane Austen if she ever got the chance to play her. Imagine my surprise (and delight!) when I learned she would indeed get the chance.

Now for the review, which, due to my rather liking the film, is not very sarcastic, I'm afraid. Apologies to those of you who came here hoping for a laugh. ;-)

the only way to get a man like Mr. Darcy is to make him up! )
