Darcy’s Passions: Pride and Prejudice Retold Through His Eyes: A Novel, by Regina Jeffers – A Review

Mr. Darcy. That iconic romantic hero who launched a thousand sequels! A quick and very unscientific audit of Amazon.com listings revealed over thirty-five books published in the last fifteen years inspired by him! That’s a lot of Mr. Darcy out there being a haughty heartthrob. Now in his latest outing, Darcy’s Passions: Pride and Prejudice Retold Through His [...]

Regrettably more times than not, I have found the work falls short; but this is not the case with author Helen Halstead’s sequel Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride. I knew [...]

Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen’s most popular if not most adapted novel, and its famous hero Mr. Darcy has been interpreted in many different ways. There have been several excellent period adaptations of Pride and Prejudice which present Darcy’s character differently, particularly Fay Weldon’s 1980 and Andrew Davies 1995 versions. These two adaptations master [...]

“And now, let me talk to you of something else. I have another person’s interest at present so much at heart, that I cannot think any longer about Frank Churchill. Ever since I left you this morning, Emma, my mind has been hard at work on one subject.” The subject followed; it was in plain, [...]

New Contemporary Novel
THE MARRIAGE PLOT
by Jeffrey Eugenides
Is love and romance in the 21st-century anything like Jane Austen's early 19th-century world? Author Eugenides presents his take on why one need not go back in time to write a novel about marriage, for just as in the Austen canon, the main crux of this story revolves around the question of who will marry whom.
