Uh... No.

Austen knows virtue for women. But she knows very little about virtue for men.

Amanda Patchin: “Jane Austen is, more than Plato, more than Aristotle, more than Alisdair MacIntyre, the philosopher of virtue. . . . Thus, she is the author to read as you embark on the new year.” https://t.co/zAmgFgMKWj pic.twitter.com/QRNrGBcDrL

Truly Dumbing Austen Down

First Things: Emma Unframed by Veronica Clarke

“Human” moments, centered around the demands of the body, break up the film’s stylistic uniformity. “I’ve thought a lot about how much the body interfered with some of the most romantic moments of my life,” de Wilde has said. “I love the comedy of fighting your body.” Not too long after we are introduced to Mr. Knightley, we see him naked in his bedroom. In another scene, he throws his jacket to the ground, and then himself, in love-sick frustration. (Flynn does justice to Knightley’s despair.) Emma warms her bare backside by the fireplace as she is helped into her clothes. When Mr. Knightley proposes to Emma, she gets a nosebleed, as if something inside her has snapped. These scenes offer a refreshing reprieve from the constrictions of social etiquette.

The holy foolishness of Whit Stillman sharpens the wit of Jane Austen’s "Lady Susan" into wisdom
By Christopher S. Morrissey

Kate Beckinsale’s masterful performance as the charming but amoral Lady Susan Vernon in Whit Stillman’s hilarious Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship is a rare cinematic experience. Its memory stays with you long after viewing the film. While Stillman’s screenplay takes its inspiration, and plunders all the best lines, from Austen’s La...
