Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a youtube video. I absolutely love modern retelling of familiar stories, and I am certainly a huge fan Jane Austen. Combine the two, and I'm sold!
Below is the first episode of a 72-episode series entitled "Emma Approved," which is based on Jane Austen's Emma. The creators have done an excellent job modernizing the story while remaining true to the characters and themes of the book. I have only two complaints: 1) it's over and 2) Mr. Woodhouse is not in the series. The new storytelling format of fictional vlogs on YouTube is catching on. The predecessor of "Emma Approved" was "The Lizzie Bennett Diaries", which was a modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. I also follow other similar shows on YouTube.
