Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This concise documentary, from the Famous Authors series, offers a look at the life of the woman considered the greatest of female novelists, Jane Austen. Although only 30-minutes long, this is a nice, quick overview and features the only existing renderings of Austen and her family, as well as modern footage of the location of her family home. The narration is informative, without being intrusive. It runs through Austen's all-too-short years as the daughter of a country parson, her closeness to her sister Cassandra, and her sedate life that never included high society, despite her innate ability to sharply depict the mores and fallacies of the Regency period. --N.F. Mendoza

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 24, 2000
This review is from: Famous Authors Series: Jane Austen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I bought this tape and was disappointed. At 30 minutes, it covers only the barest of details about Austen's life and brings no insights to bear on the subject.

It's just photo after photo mixed with terrible video shots of current day Austen sites like Bath.

Very dreary and not a bit worthy of Jane Austen. Low budget and low interest.
