About this listen

On the pilot episode of Period, we look at how women are portrayed in Pride & Prejudice (2005). We interview the director of the Jane Austen House Museum, Lizzie Dunford, about which Pride and Prejudice adaptation Jane Austen would have liked the best. Does this film accurately represent the lives of Regency era women? (Sort of.) Is everything Mr Bennet's fault? (Probably.) Should Matthew Macfadyen have walked out a lake in a drenched shirt? (Absolutely.) We discuss at length while wearing our flounciest floral dresses.
