Verstand & Gefühl, Stolz & Vorurteil, Mansfieldpark, Emma
und die anderen Romane von Jane Austen stehen heute für die Zeit des Empire. Oft als Trivialliteratur belächelt und verkannt
sind ihre Werke herausragendende und fesselnde Zeugen einer Epoche.
Sie gehören mit zu den meistverfilmten Büchern
und lieferten den Stoff für viele weitere.
Immer stehen auch die Feste und Bälle im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens. Vor allem die Verfilmungen der BBC zeichnen sich dabei
durch die Verwendung originaler historische Tänze aus.
