![]() ![]() Austen adaptations are an excellent vehicle for demonstrating acting abilities as they require both emotional depth and comedic ability, though obviously, this varies from character to character. Interestingly, despite the vast quantity of these movie adaptations, of which many are critically acclaimed, no one has yet won an Oscar for their performance in one. With six novels and other short or incomplete stories and more successful adaptations than failures, there’s much to consider when discussing the best performances in these movies. Now, it seems we get a new adaptation every few years, whether it be a true-to-Austen period drama or a modernized version (or a mix of both). However, most of the adaptations that we know and love are from the 1990s onward as this is when they became such a frequent fixture of the box office. The earliest of which was of Pride and Prejudice in 1938 as a TV movie, though there are no copies of this available anymore. As one of the most beloved writers around the world, there have been countless adaptations of Jane Austen's novels on both the big and small screens. ![]()
