I loved this adaptation, unlike last week’s Persuasion, which was badly lit and not very well acted. I thought Felicity Jones was particularly well cast–pretty enough to attract attention from the gentlemen, and young and romantic enough to be influenced by Udolpho. The photography was lovely, and the COSTUMES. Ohmygosh. The bonnets. The costumes. Must get DVD and save frames. Must make. Must own.

I caught the NPR review of this episode while driving into work this morning. I loved Davies’ comment (probably paraphrased badly here) that he was just using special effects, actors, and costumes to do what he loves best: bringing literary characters to life just as he did for his students when he was teaching.
