The popularity of period dramas in the U.S.?
costume drama are (for example, Charles Dickens, etc) TV Series Jane Austen films / People in the states of the United States? Can you see the TV version of the BBC or the people buying on DVD? Thank you very much for any information!

Pride & Prejudice $6.34 Literary adaptations just don’t get any better than director Joe Wright’s 2005 version of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice.
