http://bit-of-ivory.com/2005/11/09/pp-rant/ "on which I work with a brush so fine as to produce little effect after much labour" -- Jane Austen Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:57:51 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.41 http://bit-of-ivory.com/2005/11/09/pp-rant/#comment-787 Wed, 30 Nov 2005 16:42:00 +0000 http://bit-of-ivory.com/?p=747#comment-787 Thanks very much for demonstrating that it is historically inaccurate for the Bennett house to be full of animals as this 2005 movie shows. While I like the new movie, it struck me that this aspect cannot possibly have been historically accurate, and you have confirmed it.

It may not be as historically accurate as it could be, but it has a certain scope to it, a size that other adaptions (such as the beeb’s Colin Firth version) don’t quite manage to convey. I love both versions, the size of the newest one and the detail of the older one (after all, I suppose it could be argued that the p&p does focus on a small number of families so why does it need size?) and I would definately say ‘see it’ then at least you can decide after.
