What Would Jane Do?
Season 3 Ep. 7 Jane Austen and Adaptations (Persuasion episode!)
Were you delighted or outraged by the recent Netflix adaptation of Persuasion? Well then, this is the podcast for you to vent your views! Julia Golding and Kate Macfarlane take a look at the 18th century tradition of adaptations that Jane Austen herself would have known and in fact uses in her own writing. They then go on the discuss what was right (and wrong) about the 2022 Persuasion, comparing it to previous attempts in 2007 and 1995. Find out which one they think got it right. Do you agree? They then go on to discuss whether Sanditon is an adaptation, or indeed, anything to do with Jane Austen! Adaptations are at their most interesting when they have something new to say so they close by comparing Darcys. Stay tuned for Austen news.
