"Jane Austen: The Complete Collection" includes 6 BBC productions: "Emma", "Mansfield Park", "Northanger Abbey", "Persuasion", "Pride And Prejudice" and "Sense And Sensibility". "Emma": This splendid dramatization brings to life all the glorious wit and sharp humor of arguably Jane Austen's finest novel, recreating her most irritatingly endearing female character, "Emma," of whom she wrote "no one but myself could like." "Mansfield Park": Jane Austen's story of virtue and vice tells of young and impoverished Fanny Price who arrives at the elegant country estate of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertarm. True virtue triumphs over superficiality in this distinguished, BBC production of Jane Austen's celebrated novel. "Northanger Abbey": A tale of intrigue, adventure and romance, this enchanting dramatisation captures the spirit and wit of Austen's classic novel. The setting is eighteenth-century Bath, a society of decadence and deceit, into which Catherine Morland arrives bursting with freshness, integrity and a passion for macabre Gothic novels. In a time when materialism, not love, governs marriage, Catherine's head is full of fantasy and fiction, of maidens being abducted to sinister castles and heroes riding to the rescue on white horses. When romantic Henry Tilney invites her to his ancestral home, Northanger Abbey, a dark mystery starts to unfold that makes her blood run cold. Are her fantasies coming true? What does the brooding General Tilney want from her and will the truth destroy her chance for love? "Persuasion": This beautiful dramatization of "Persuasion" conveys all the passions and frustrations of Jane Austen's most mature heroine Anne Elliot, as she finds herself persuaded to reject her chance for true love. "Pride And Prejudice": Jane Austen's witty and romantic novel springs vividly to life! This realistic production truly captures all the nuances of the 18th century life among the English gentry, a society obsessed with profitable marriage contracts.
