“In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”
Jane Austen, author of one of the most swooned-over declarations of love of all times, could not have known that her novel would spawn an endless list of adaptations, some of which have by now perhaps even eclipsed the novel in their popularity. In this course, we are going to perform in-depth close readings first of the novel, and then of two of its most famous adaptations, Andrew Davies’ 1995 BBC series, starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, and Sharon MacGuire's 2001 film Bridget Jones's Diary, starring Colin Firth and Renée Zellweger.
