In order to stop Laura from begging (temporarily at least) I decided to have a look at YouTube to see what I could find that was Jane Austen related. (Ok, so maybe I am just procrastinating about writing the first essay – but hey, it’s all related!) YouTube was interesting however. There are A LOT of music video tributes to the adaptations – both films and television series. While they are not particularly exciting, they are fun and there are some interesting choices in music. Generally most are fluffy and romantic but I came across one video set to the song ‘Maneater’ by Nelly Furtado. It portrays all of Austen’s leading ladies (and other female characters) as ‘maneaters’. A bit of a stretch I would say (as did the producer of the video actually – her comment was ‘please don’t hate me!’) but it is still entertaining.

Have a look HERE.

Or for something a little more traditional you might like this ONE.

The number of video tributes is amazing, outshone only by the number of fans responding to them.  Have a look yourself using the keywords ‘Jane Austen’.
