Readers have long enjoyed Jane Austen's novels for the witty
narration and commentary on the characters. Austen's canny and comedic
insight has sparked the imagination of playwrights and filmmakers, inspiring
theatrical versions of her novels. What do we make of this recent rage
and interest in Jane Austen? Is it just another Hollywood fad? Or have
we returned to Austen for other cultural reasons?
Professor James Thompson, an expert of this period, lead us
into a discussion surrounding the interest in Jane Austen and the unique
qualities of her works which prove so enduringly popular.
