![]() I am not alone in this Austen-worshipping phenomenon. I have watched that BBC series twenty-four times. Darcy declare Elizabeth Bennet as ‘the handsomest woman of my acquaintance,’ on at least two dozen occasions. I find a Pavlovian, classical conditioning response whenever I picture myself watching an Austen adaptation, my backside prickles with warmth at the thought of sinking into my couch. It was somewhat however, I partake in this Janeite-spree pretty much every year. I’d like to say this Jane Austen-binge was coronavirus induced. No wonder I didn’t install any shelving solutions during this period, despite spending 23 hours per day inside. ![]() ![]() I say re-watched because I’ve seen and read all these multiple times before. I did, however re-watch Sense and Sensibility (the Emma Thompson one), re-read Pride and Prejudice and Emma, re-watched Pride and Prejudice (the Keira Knightley one), also Bride and Prejudice, and to round things off, the entire six episodes of 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. During those dark months of COVID-19 isolation, I did not bake a single sourdough loaf and made no DIY improvements to my home. ![]()
