Storyline
The year is 1795 and young Jane Austen is a feisty 20-year-old and emerging writer who already sees a world beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice, and dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable - marrying for love. Naturally, her parents are searching for a wealthy, well-appointed husband to assure their daughter's future social standing. They are eyeing Mr. Wisley, nephew to the very formidable, not to mention very rich, local aristocrat Lady Gresham, as a prospective match. But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sparks soon fly along with the sharp repartee. His intellect and arrogance raise her ire - then knock her head over heels. Now, the couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible dilemma. If they attempt to marry, they will risk everything that matters - family, friends and fortune. Written by Orange

Trivia
Anne Hathaway learned to play the piano and worked with a dialect coach for the preparation of this movie. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: In the cricket match, the ball is blatantly thrown not bowled (requiring the arm to stay straight throughout) at the start of the scene. Under the rules of cricket, this would actually void the stumping and even give a free run (in other words point) to the opposing, batting side. Hardly a reason for the bowler's side to celebrate.
