For this very special episode, we're joined by actress Susannah Harker, who played Jane Bennet in the classic 1995 BBC adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' as well as author and Austen expert Gabrielle Malcolm. We discuss their thoughts on "The Other Bennet Sister," a new BBC series (available on Britbox in the U.S.) based on Janice Hadlow's novel of the same name. The series continues 'Pride and Prejudice' through the perspective of perhaps the most overlooked Bennet sister, Mary. We talk about bringing marginalized characters to the forefront, how 'The Other Bennet Sister' pays tribute to other P&P adaptations, and why Austen's masterpiece continues to inspire great art.
