Synopsis "Set In The Silver Sea by Jane Austen and A Gentleman: Sanditon Finished"

On the 27th of January 1817 Jane Austen embarked upon her last novel. Sadly Jane did not live to complete the work. It is generally believed that the title was to have been The Brothers. Today the book is known by the name that the Austen family bestowed on it following Jane's untimely death: Sanditon. Nobody knows how the novel was intended to develop. Many attempts have been made at completion. This is my own effort. That it can bear no relation whatsoever to Jane's unknown intention is of course certain. In view of the eminence of the principal contributor it is hoped by the co-author that an inevitable deficiency of content and style on his part will be allowed for and forgiven, if at all possible. I deem my part of this work, the larger and yet so much the lesser, for reasons which might become apparent to the reader, to be no more than a fairy tale.

Fue una novelista británica que vivió durante la época georgiana. Nació en la rectoría de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenecía a la gentry británica (nobleza rural o burguesía agraria), contexto del que no salió y en el que sitúa todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista.

Ha sido llevada al cine en numerosas ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el clásico Más fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la época actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptación libre de Emma. Otras versiones son la de Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo, la versión más fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que presentó la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jennifer Ehle. El interés que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en día muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida también ha sido llevada al cine con la película Becoming Jane (2007).
