Wit Beyond Measure
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader in possession of Austen novels must be in want of a podcast. Hosts Catrina and Elle are lit majors who love reading these books through a modern and historic lens.

Episode 15
Somehow Elle and Catrina didn't know that this BBC miniseries existed! Starring Ramola Garai, Michael Gambon, and Johnny Lee Miller, this adaptation more closely follows the book, while still adding its own unique twist.
This week we talk about what makes this adaptation unique and how it affects the overall story. Did this version give us the big sweeping romance Austen novels have become known for? Or did it stick closer to the text? How does it compare to the film adaptations?
But most importantly, how much do we love Johnny Lee Miller's version of Mr. Knightley?
