Hi Joy!

And welcome to our board! I think that your judgement on 'enthusiast' is astute. Whenever I read Jane Eyre, I find that I start including phrases and words from the book in everyday conversations (just last night I said to someone 'exactly! ...precisely!'

I think I have seen all of the available adaptations of Jane Eyre. I thought that the 1983 BBC version was the best, although I still had some problems with it. Once I was able to get a copy of the 1973 version, however, I had no doubt that it is the finest. Even if you are only looking for fidelity to the book. The script includes most of the repartee (nearly all, I'd say!) and much of the poetry (one of the things I love about JE is how poetic Charlotte's prose is). And the acting... just makes me one happy 'enthusiast'.

I've been working on ways of getting it released too. But until then, there are people here that you can get a copy from. So far there's only the last 4 episodes, because the first one never aired in the US. However, it aired in Canada. So, I'm trying to see what I can do with the TV station here.
