Fwiw, I am an absolute and dedicated Janeite, but for me the glory of her works is in the language, the texts. Costume dramas invariably miss this.
Clueless however captures the spirit of Emma Woodhouse perfectly.

As some of you know, I am an absolute, unapologetic Janeite. She is the master.
The worst Austen would do to any adversary would put them in an excruciating 10-page conversation, with a spirited but clumsy younger sister playing on a musical instrument, before a final cutting, devastating silence.

And the way they use a key passage read aloud from Persuasion by her sister Cassandra, as part of the drama in the fourth episode is a brilliant piece of television.
My usual Janeite hostility to period dramas confounded. This was excellent stuff.

Janeite friends, were you wondering about the menu for the birthday dinner you're going to hold to mark Jane Austen's 250th birthday, on December 16th?
Perhaps you might get some menu ideas from this book, which @tomkeirstead.bsky.social just spotted at a local baking supply store?

Hmm no expert. Wikipedia says academically speaking, the Janeite phenomenon can be seen as the very first "subculture" with all the attendant aspects, including pejorative but also positive. There are certainly many fanfics published in 1920s and 30/ including one by Richard Kipling!
