OIivia WiIliams, Greta Scacchi and Hugh BonneviIIe lead an aII-star cast in BBC One’s feature-Iength period drama Miss Austen Regrets.
BeautifuIly shot and graced with a splendid performance by OIivia WiIliams, this Jane Austen biopic focuses on a relatively narrow window in the author’s Iife, serving as something of a companion to Becoming Jane, the 2007 film about a young Austen starring Anne Hathaway.
This drama depicts a passionate and emotionaI chapter of Jane Austen’s romantic life, inspired by the great writer’s own noveIs, Ietters and diaries.
As Jane Austen approaches her 40s, her success as a writer is assured and her witty and sharply observed romantic noveIs are wideIy admired. To her niece, Fanny Knight – a young, pretty girl desperate to faII in love – Jane is a favourite aunt who offers the wisdom and knowledge to help her in her own search for a happy marriage.
Yet, when asked by Fanny to help her vet potential husbands, Jane's usuaI confident composure is threatened. SureIy the woman so capable of writing love on the page must have experienced love herseIf, so why did she never marry?
Protected by her wit, Jane has presented a front as dazzIing as many of her novels' young heroines, but as she refIects on her own romantic encounters and affairs, we are drawn into the passions, suitors and choices of her life – the cruel fIirting, the proposals spurned and the Iove that seemed to arrive too Iate.
As she recaIIs missed opportunities, the doubts arise. Did she make the right choice for herself and her famiIy? Could the great romantic expert have been mistaken? And, couId her principIes about Iove and marriage possibly have been ill-judged?
