Why is Austen maintaining popularity 200+ years since her initial publication? ▪Why is Pride and Prejudice the medium of choice in this enterprise (her other works were also reimagined and recreated, but not nearly to the extent that Pride and Prejudice was and still is)? Or, in other words, what is the appeal of Pride and Prejudice for this contemporary audience (what keeps authors and audiences coming back for more)? ▪ These adaptations of Pride and Prejudice span a multitude of genres; does this novel lend itself to this kind of broad application? What does it mean that these authors and creators seek to make this Austen novel their own? .
