She has spread abroad a notion the 87 Northanger is completely bad.

Rumor (who Virgil told us long ago is not to be trusted) has committed yet further mischief. But it seems that a free adaptation, the 1993 independent Ruby in Paradise (directed and written by Victor Nunez), has been effaced from Public Memory. Many may have heard of the 1987 BBC Northanger Abbey (directed by Giles Foster, written by Maggie Wadey). All who have been faithfully watching the Jane Austen movie festival on PBS this year know at least something of the most recent: the 2007 WBGH/Granada Northanger Abbey (directed by Jon Jones, written by Andrew Davies). The other day a friend told me that many people do not know there is a third Northanger Abbey movie. Welcome, Ellen, and thank you for writing this post for Jane Austen’s World and Jane Austen Today. After reading one of Ellen’s posts, you will never quite view a Jane Austen movie adaptation or read her novels in the same way again. For Jane Austen’s World and Jane Austen Today, Ellen chose to write a comparative piece on the Northanger Abbey. If you haven’t come across her timelines of Jane Austen’s novels, I highly recommend that you visit her website. The author of this guest post, Professor Ellen Moody, needs almost no introduction.
