Our beloved Jane Austen published Pride and Prejudice today for the first time in 1813, that's near two hundred years ago - two hundred years people! Well, one hundred ninety-seven years to be exact but that's still a staggering number. It's been published countless times since and re-imagined many, many times over.
In celebration, why not watch it tonight? And if the 6 hr. 1995 BBC Mini-Series starring Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth is too long spice things up and try the 2009 BBC mini-series Lost in Austen starring Jemima Rooper.
Sometimes Jane Austen spinning in her grave is a good thing.
