Period Drama for advanced students?
|
One of my students is keen on watching period drama by Jane Austen (Emma, Pride&Prejudice) and I am thinking of giving her a list of period dramas from 18-19 century based on (famous) books, so she can watch the films AND later learn about the writer / read the original or translated book.
Which writers / period dramas would you recommend?
Apart from Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Brontě sisters, Thomas Hardy and George Eliot or Wilkie Collins � Moonstone or E. Gaskell �s North and South, M. Alcott �s Little Women, E.M. Forster �s Room with a View...
BTW, I didn �t know there is a series Daniel Deronda by BBC. :-D Gotta watch it...

Hello dear Nika Jana,
I �d love to help you out as you �re always so giving and helpful, but sorry I don �t know any.
Then I had a thought, it �s not a period drama but the BBC Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Irons is fantastic, if you think your student would be interested in that kind of thing, too.
Hope someone else can give you the information you really need.
Hugs
Julia

I would like to recommend going online to sites like Amazon.com or Netflix.com and searching for Masterpiece Theater, and BBC. You should come up with a fine list this way. There are so many versions of Jane Eyre, for instance, she could be watching the same story until she graduates from college. Please share your both of your lists of favorites when through! |

It �s an early 20th century one, I �m afraid, but I would recommend Edith Wharton �s �Custom of the Country � (1913).
�Brideshead Revisited� by Evelyn Waugh (1945) is also fantastic. There is a great tv adaptation of it starring Jeremy Irons. |
