Becoming Jane
Though young Jane Austen's financially strapped parents expect her to marry the nephew of wealthy Lady Gresham, Jane herself knows that such a union will destroy her creativity and sense of self-worth. Instead, she becomes involved with Tom Lefroy, a charming but penniless apprentice lawyer who gives her the knowledge of the heart she needs for her future career as a novelist. From TMDB

I was missing the UK for some reason and feeling general wanderlust, probably because I was stuck at home and couldn't go anywhere or do anything. So I fell head first into... Jane Austen. As a man, it was honestly a lot of fun. I watched Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Becoming Jane (outlier I know), and honestly I loved a BBC only version of Northanger Abbey starring Felicity Jones and the Onion…

unlabelledView post →Have you seen the movie Becoming Jane? It's supposed to be kinda sorta biographical of Jane Austen. In it she gets her heart broken and says all her characters will always find love, because someone should. It always stuck with me. Writing the story of the life she didn't get to have.

unlabelledView post →Teaching class at RWA's Annual conf next month on research BEYOND Google & AI because IT IS IMPORTANT. I got faked out by a quote that attributed to Charlotte Bronte and turns it it was from Becoming Jane (movie about Austen) that was AI generated but relentlessly quoted as Bronte. NO ONE IS SAFE.
unlabelledView post →Is this from Jane Eyre? I’m not seeing it when i search the text. And I think the inclusion of Jane is because the line is used in the film Becoming Jane.

unlabelledView post →J'ai enfin regardé "Becoming Jane" sur la vie de Jane Austen, film de... 2007 (on ne juge pas). Anne Hathaway, superbe, James McAvoy, beaucoup trop beau avec sa coupe de jeune premier, des robes taille empire, la campagne anglaise... Je suis en joie. C'est mon côté midinette, que voulez-vous.

The owners ensure they're water tight but purposely don't 'restore' cos they're used by film companies. Penny Dreadful, Becoming Jane, Northanger Abbey, Ripper Street & loads of others used this location.

unlabelledView post →Romanticizing Jane. Jane Austen was a nonconformist. She was the seventh child of an Anglican priest and belonged to what we might now call the middle class. She had many books at home, and both parents taught her to read and write, supported her, recognized in her the same talent we all know her now. Moreover, she was unlucky in love: it does not seem that her parents sought to marry her, it is quite plausible that she did not want to marry for economic reasons and the love affairs that we…
