The inverted commas in the title of this article are crucial to the sort of line I want to pursue when considering film adaptations of Jane Austen novels. I'm interested in what can and can't be filmed. Whatever a filmmaker tackling Pride and Prejudice, for instance, comes up with, it won't be 'Jane Austen', and the attempts that interest me most are those that seem to have accepted this notion and show a filmmaker with a point of view about certain elements in the novel that bears Austen's name. I even begin to question the use of the term 'adaptation'.
