Empire line dresses, boundless Georgian estates and provincial dances... As a new version of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility comes to our screens, we’ll be looking at the enduring appeal of the Jane Austen adaptation. How does each generation make the stories their own, and is there a danger that we lose sight of the original novels?
Jane talks to Professor Janet Todd, general editor of the Cambridge edition of the works of Jane Austen and to writer and journalist, Kathryn Hughes.
Sense and Sensibility begins on BBC ONE on Tuesday 1st January at 9.10pm.
