The Real Versailles
An engaging and innovative companion to the BBC drama.

An engaging and innovative companion to the BBC drama.

The controversial new series is beautifully filmed and historically problematic.

A game with tremendous charm and playability.

A recent MOOC reaches out to new audiences and invites further reflection on the history of the Gothic.

Zombie girls, decapitations, and Austen's own humour shining through.

A success in various respects, the BBC's adaptation still fails to do justice either to the novel or the period in which it's set.

Though frequently humorous and not afraid of whimsy, this programme treats its subject matter with a genuine seriousness.

A pleasant, gentle film with little sense of historical accuracy.

An entertaining portrayal of a courageous woman.

This series needs to rely less on the lurid and scandalous stories of its protagonist and pay more attention to the world in which he lived.
