Duologues and Scenes from the Novels of Jane Austen

More about the book

Highlighting the pioneering efforts of Rosina Filippi, this book features her original stage directions for adaptations of four beloved Jane Austen novels: Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Pride and Prejudice. Filippi believed that Austen's works would captivate theatergoers just as they have captivated readers, making this a fascinating exploration of Austen's potential on stage. The reprint of the 1895 edition includes illustrations by Margaret Fletcher, adding a visual element to the theatrical experience.
