Lost in Austen is available for purchase on DVD today. You can find it here on Amazon.com for £11 (i.e. $50 . . . not really, but the dollar is quite sickly right now).
BBC’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles will be released on October 27th. It’s currently listed here for £25.00; is it worth it, those lucky ones who have seen it? How does it compare to the book?

This is a gorgeous film. If you have the chance to see it near you (it's a limited film), do not hesitate to do so. Probably one of the best productions I've ever seen.
"No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet."
Lady Montagu, 1752
You were Elizabeth I. Perhaps the most famous European monarch of all time, Elizabeth I faced so many difficulties to ascend the throne that when she eventually got there she was a very determined, courageous woman, hardened by her hardships. She had a fiery temper and if she decided she wanted to do something, little could stop her! She was a great Queen who led England to victory against the Spanish and left her mark as one of the most positive absolute monarchs to have ruled England, which after the terrible 'bloody' Mary must have been a relief to the English people.
