The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Lizzie’s videos amount to 100 episodes + 10 Q&A, but shorter series enrich the story by offering other characters’ perspectives, most notably Lydia’s (and also Georgiana’s). A playlist at Pemberley Digital’s Youtube channel features them all in order.

The series has also been adapted into a book, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet (2014), and spawned a sequel novel, The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet (2015).

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016 Film)

The story takes inspiration from all 6 of Austen’s major novels (plus Lady Susan), but mostly from Pride and Prejudice. Others stars include Chandelly Braz as Mariana Benedito (Marianne Dashwood) and Anajú Dorigon as Cecília Benedito (Catherine Morland).

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta (2019 TV Film)

Loose adaption set in modern Atlanta, USA. All-black cast. Written by Tracy McMillan, directed by Rhonda Baraka

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

GOOD SIR GUY HE HAS BEEN SLAIN

something something the way the character of guy of gisborne represents violation and also being violated that Intrigues me. something else about how he keeps getting brought back for later robin hood narratives trends as a conflicting rival in love in spite of the violence of the beheading. feels like a kind of necromancy and also burial of a violence, you know. like the refusal to acknowledge the death creates a weird narrative haunting. you've built up a story on top of a whole lot of blood and rage, and then put those characters in romanticized settings.

Out of context quote time:

However, the fact that the church took such enormous trouble to combat the idea (and the fact that earlier commentators like William of Auvergne were not entirely sure how they should refute it) suggests that it enjoyed considerable popular currency, that whatever the church taught them about the sterility of demons, the people continued to believe that fairies were not only sexy but also fertile.

2023 Reading Log, pt. 9

41. Encyclopedia of Folk Medicine by Gabrielle Hatfield. There are some A-Z encyclopedia style books that are interesting and easy reads. This is not one of them. Most of the entries are long lists of what remedies were used for a particular ailment, or what ailments were reputed to have been treatable by a particular remedy. The writing style is very boring and samey throughout, making it a chore to read. I do appreciate the appearance of scientific names when referring to plant remedies, with a question mark in the cases where a common name is used that can be applied to multiple plants. I do not appreciate how native American remedies are often an afterthought, drawn from a much more limited range of sources, and many times not even explaining what tribal tradition they belong to. This book would probably be a relatively useful resource for a research project, although not a one-stop shop. I do not recommend it, however, as a reading experience.

42. A History of the World Through Body Parts by Kathryn Petras and Ross Petras. This book is a historical miscellany, focusing on how human history has been influenced by, well, human organs. It was inspired by a quote by Pascal about Cleopatra’s nose, which is discussed. The book is broken into short chapters about a particular historical person, their body, and how it influenced their actions and legacy. The book is fine, but it is weirdly padded. Each chapter begins with a full page title, and infoboxes, some of which are only a paragraph long, get their own pages as well. So while I did enjoy this book, I do also kind of regret paying full hardcover price for it.

42a. Elf Queens and Holy Friars by Richard Firth Green. I was super intrigued by this book’s premise—that fairy belief in medieval Europe was seen as a threat by the Church to their cultural hegemony. Unfortunately, the author makes some idiosyncratic choices that make it literally impossible for me to read. Long passages from primary sources are quoted. If they’re in French, they’re translated. If they’re in Latin, they’re paraphrased. And if they’re in Middle English, they’re left to stand on their own. I don’t read Middle English or Latin. So this book seems to be written for a specialist audience only, and anyone interested in the topic without the language background can piss off, I guess.

43. The Strange Bestiary by Bruce R. Cordell, Monte Cook and Robert J Schwalb.  I quite liked the bestiaries that Monte Cook Games put out for the Numenera game, so I figured I’d have a similarly high opinion of the bestiary for The Strange, the same company’s dimension hopping alternate reality game. This was not the case. For a system titled “The Strange”, the book is awfully mundane. In The Strange, there’s a Mad Science dimension, a Traditional Western Fantasy dimension, a Lovecraft dimension and a Gothic Horror dimension, which means that fairly uninspired versions of monsters pertaining to those tropes are the dominant contents of the book. There are a few monsters with original and interesting concepts, but they’re drowned out by things we’ve seen before for a dozen different systems.

44. Islands and Snakes, edited by Harvey B. Lilywhite and Marcio Martins. This is an academic book, a collection of papers about the evolution and ecology of snakes on islands. After a general overview of the topic, most of the papers focus on one particular species or species complex. A significant chunk of the papers cover sea kraits, which are snakes I didn’t know much about; they’re eel specialists and more amphibious than other sea snakes, emerging onto islands to rest and digest, and laying their eggs in sea caves or other hidden humid areas. Other topics include the insular tiger snakes of offshore Tasmanian islands, the vipers of Milos Island off the coast of Greece, and the weirdly specialized, and unfortunately now dwindling, water moccasins of Seahorse Key in Florida.

45. Suggestible You by Eric Vance. This book is about the placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis, and other ways that the brain can influence the body. The author comes at the topic from an interesting perspective. He grew up a Christian Scientist, and his parents told him the story of how their faith saved him from life-threatening illness when he was an infant. This loops back around to a discussion of implanted memories, and the instability of memory in general—he “remembers” the event despite being one year old, and in the third person, because of how many times he’s heard the story. Vance is an eager experimental participant, engaging in placebo trials for pain, getting himself professionally hypnotized, visiting acupuncturists and Christian Science healers, and even getting himself cursed.

My RECAP: Brian Stokes Mitchell at Perelman Performing Arts Center in NYC, October 5, 2023

Autumn in New York when it still feels like summer

It was so warm out on this early October day that I didn't even get to wear my Richard Gere pea coat trench, maybe next time. We spent a bunch of time wandering around St. Paul's Chapel and graveyard and visiting the September 11 memorial reflecting pools. The performing arts center is just across the street. This isn't a part of New York City that we've ever visited so we did a lot of exploring. Our next stop was the Tin Building and the Pier 17 waterfront area overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge. It was a really cool spot with lots of built-in outdoor seating and restaurants.

Not a library

The new Perelman Performing Arts Center is a big marble cube of a building with spaces that are designed to be flexible to accommodate all kinds of different performing arts needs. There's also a restaurant and lounge, an outdoor balcony and a giant staircase leading up. I work at Yale and it reminded me of the Beinecke Library because the there are no windows and the marble is designed so the light filters through. It was a pretty cool spot and I would love to see another show there sometime. You can read more about the building in this New York Times article (x).

Songs of Hope and Life

The show was Brian Stokes Mitchell accompanied by Ted Firth on piano and was titled Songs of Hope and Life. It lasted for a good two hours and Stokes did 18 songs including several that I personally hadn't heard him perform live before. You can find the setlist below. Highlights were pretty much all the songs I've never heard live before which were "Hope," "The Best Is Yet to Come," and "Being Alive." And I'll give a goofy honorable mention to "It's Not Easy Being Green" and "Hooray for Tom" mostly because of the surprise green spotlight which honestly cracked me up. When Stokes did "Odds on Favorite" and "Over the Moon" he was in full excitable-boy-mode. He literally sat at the piano and played an instrumental song from the E.T. soundtrack with Ted Firth playing his part standing up. I mean it was objectively adorable.

[side note: I was surprised to hear the Bruce Hornsby cover and it made me think that the Jackson Browne songs on my wishlist (x) might not be too far off the mark :)) Brian Stokes Mitchell "Sky Blue and Black" when?].

Twice in a lifetime opportunity?

Did I mention we were sitting in the front row center? Yeah, in a repeat of good fortune just like at the Town Hall show last April, we were lucky enough to sit in the front row. Which means we were lucky enough to witness the absolute artistry of Stokes singing "This Nearly Was Mine" with no microphone. I will never get tired of seeing him do this. What made this time especially cool was that he moved right up to the edge of the stage, right in front of us, to sing. Honestly, I was frozen in my seat, literally holding my breath at times. Like I can't properly explain how captivating it is to watch someone that talented and professional at their craft sing that close up and to be able to catch every mannerism, every dramatic choice, all of the breaths and swallows, all those small decisions during a performance. Just stunning. Here's audio of the song from that night (x), I know it can't truly capture the actual performance but you can get an idea of how cool it was to have Stokes basically sing this really special song right into your face.

Next up for us is Ridgefield, CT on October 29th. Super excited, can't wait to see Stokes sing again! You can find a link to his upcoming concert dates and other goodies in my pinned post (x).

To take the fairy machinery of medieval romance as nothing more than a convenient narrative device, however, is to ignore the fact that people in the Middle Ages were themselves far from indifferent to truth claims about fairies. As Arthur Brown showed long ago, the torrent of disparaging epithets— nugae, fallaces, fabulae, figmenta — hurled against Arthurian romances by twelfth-century clerics arose from their very real indignation that such things as “disappearing castles, magic fountains, and enchanted forests” should have been represented as credible. If the question mattered to them, perhaps it should also matter to us.

A particularly intriguing account of fairyland as the abode of past heroes appears in the Fasciculus Morum, a preacher's handbook written in the early fourteenth century by an English Franciscan: "But I ask, what shall we say of those superstitious wretches who [have claimed] that at night they see dancing the most beautiful queens and other girls, who in our native tongue we called elves?...And they believe that these can change both men and women into other beings and carry them with them to elvenland where there are already, as they say, those wrong champions like Onewyn and Wade and others. All this is nothing but phantoms shown them by [an evil] spirit."
