Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma are novels so deeply rooted in the values and ideas of Regency England (c. 1811 – 1820) that it seems impossible to adapt them to our modern "Sensibilities" (pun intended). Yet, Hollywood has produced several Austen adaptations set in the turn of the 21st century. Today with special guest and Austen fan Liz DeKok, we look at three of these, Clueless (1995), Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), and the somewhat obscure Prada to Nada (2011). Do these values translate? And how have Austen's novels contributed to the tropes and cliches of the Romantic Comedy?Special thanks to our editor LoganTweet at us @talkingtropes if you have a Jane Austen adaptation hot take.Follow our guest Liz @lizdekok for more Austen takes and memesWatch the video podcast here: https://youtu.be/QVBgs3sJgqE
