Postcolonial Austen: Reconciling 21st-Century Globalism And The 19th-Century Novel In Bride And Prejudice, Lisa Tyler

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Producer and director Gurinder Chadha’s 2004 film Bride and Prejudice is an oddly seamless postmodern melding of 21^st-century globalism and the 19^th-century British novel upon which it is loosely based.

All of the characters endure this unfortunate phenomenon.
