I didn’t mean for this to become the all-Jane Austen blog, but I stumbled on this AP article on Andrew Davies, the screenwriter behind the famed 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation and behind this Sunday’s new take on Northanger Abbey. For a guy who talks about making changes to novel texts in his adaptations, he’s all the way at the “faithful” end of the continuum of adapters.

Keith,
I think you might have linked to the wrong article. This story is on CNN.com and it’s from the AP. I checked for a New York Times feature on Davies, but couldn’t find one. Though there is a Times story on Northanger Abbey. No big deal, but if there is a Times profile, too, I’d like to see it.
Fixed. I’m just a doofus.
