THAT HAMILTON WOMAN
directed by
Alexander Korda
The romance of Emma, Lady Hamilton and Lord Horatio Nelson might just be the most infamous romance of the Napoleonic age. She was an reputedly beguiling beauty and he a brilliant naval hero, both married to others, yet scandalously engaging in an love affair that shaped history. This 1941 movie staring Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier as the two ill-fated lovers has just been re-issued on DVD by Criterion Collection and may be one of my favorite romantic movies short of Pride and Prejudice.

New Austen Inspired Book
A MATCH FOR
MARY BENNET
by Eucharista Ward
Jane Austen’s minor character Mary Bennet from Pride and Prejudice is not exactly heroine material. Prim, judgmental and pedantic, Mary gets a make-over and a new outlook on life. Her evolution throughout the course of the book is surprising as two new men, one a rakeish charmer and the other a stoic Minister help her to discover that there is more to life than her Godly studies, music and books.

ACCORDING TO JANE
by Marilyn Brant
In this contemporary novel, Jane Austen’s ghost inhabits teenage Ellie Barnett’s thoughts, guiding her through twenty years of life’s romantic and unromantic dilemmas. Since we all know that Auntie Jane never steered any of her heroines in the wrong direction, Ellie has excellent advice, or does she?

LADY SUSAN
by Jane Austen
One of the lesser known works, Lady Susan just might be the sleeper novel of Jane Austen's oeuvre. Meet Lady Susan, the "Mistress of deceit," who is tagged the most "acomplished coquette in England" by society, and for good reason. She flirts with married men and steals other ladies beaux right under their noses, all without a whiff of conscience. Written in Austen's late teens, it's unguarded and exhuberant style is highly memlodramatic and outrageously fun.
