With: 1 Comment

Must I write about this woman? I suppose since she was a main character in Season 1. The entire audience around the world had to endure her arrival back into Sidney Parker’s life. Creation of the writers and not of Jane Austen, Eliza serves a purpose in the storyline. It’sContinue Reading

With: 1 Comment

Lady Susan is a creation of the writers of Sanditon and not mentioned in Jane Austen’s text. Interestingly enough, Jane Austen did pen a short novel entitled Lady Susan, thought to be written sometime in 1794 but not published until 1871. Sophie Winkleman, who is actually Lady Frederick Windsor, marriedContinue Reading

With: 2 Comments

Miss Lambe is a creation of Jane Austen and described as seventeen, half mulatto, and the possessor of an immense fortune. Miss Lambe is a young lady–probably a niece–under Mrs. Griffiths’ care, richer than all the rest, and very delicate health. You can see below from Jane’s text the mentionsContinue Reading

Lord Babington – a creation of the writers of Sanditon, the television series. He’s a good friend of the Prince Regent and a friend and acquaintance of Sidney Parker and Mr. Crowe. He’s an admirer of Esther Denham and an excellent catch as a husband. His love story with EstherContinue Reading

The Stringers (Young & Old)

With: 1 Comment

The Stringers. Two characters in the series are developed far beyond what Jane Austen had in her original text. There is only one instance of the name “Stringer” in the Sanditon novel. But it occurs to me that we ought to go elsewhere upon such occasions, and that old StringerContinue Reading

With: 2 Comments

Clara Brereton, played brilliantly by Lily Sacofsky, is for me the most complicated of individuals in Sanditon. Clara, as we see her in the screen production, is the product of her past and circumstances of poverty, who has one goal in mind – survival. Jane Austen set the stage, introducingContinue Reading

Edward Denham

With: 2 Comments

Everyone loves a villain. I think it’s safe to say that Edward Denham fits the bill in many ways. He’s seducer, a manipulator, and a conniver among many things. He’s motivated by greed and has no moral compass or conscience to guide him. Jane Austen created Edward and penned theContinue Reading

Esther Denham is a character to pity and love. She shows enormous growth through Season 1, and is part of a HEA scenario with Lord Babington. Without Esther, there wouldn’t be much rejoicing at the end of Sanditon, which provides a bit of balm to our hearts while dealing withContinue Reading

With: 2 Comments

I am combining two hypochondriacs in one post because they are so similar they deserve to be together. It’s interesting to note that in Jane Austen’s original Sanditon another sibling named Susan is not in the television production. It must have been a creative decision on Andrew Davies’ part toContinue Reading

After writing about Tom Parker, it’s time to look at Mary Parker. Below are the clips from Jane Austen’s novel, Sanditon, and the peek given into Mary’s personality. And Mrs. Parker was as evidently a gentle, amiable, sweet-tempered woman, the properest wife in the world for a man of strongContinue Reading

Gosh, where do you start with this guy? I suppose we can take a look at how Jane Austen created him in the first eleven chapters of Sanditon and then take it from there. Mr. Parker’s character and history were soon unfolded. All that he understood of himself, he readilyContinue Reading

A heartfelt thanks to the talented writers, cast, and crew who have worked so hard to give us two new seasons of Sanditon. Thanks to PBS Masterpiece and Red Planet Pictures for bringing Sanditon back for the fans to enjoy.
