It's a truth universally acknowledged that a girl in possession of a big TV must be in want of a lot of PBS costume dramas. Happily, I've just learned that PBS is going to be showing The Complete Austen. Suddenly these dark winter nights are looking a mighty bit brighter. My love for Jane Austen has spanned-- gasp-- 21 years. I bought my first Jane Austen novel, Sense and Sensibility, in 1986 with a Christmas gift certificate from my Aunt. I have a complete set (the Penguins) at home and a second complete set (the Oxfords) at work. One never knows when one might be in need some of her wit; it's really best to be prepared.
