The exhibition features working women in Austen's home county of Hampshire in the Georgian era, pairing voiced extracts from her novels and letters with dozens of objects illustrating their daily lives.

Middleburg, Virginia, about an hour from Washington, D.C., is the state-side answer to a Cotswold's craving, with sprawling horse farms and rolling vineyards.

I saw how similar Austen's family dynamics were to my own a couple of centuries down the line. When Austen's father stepped away from his post as a clergyman, it forced the family to leave their genteel rectory home for a series of ever more insecure living quarters.

The film uses Austen as more of an entry point into a broader, comfortingly clever story about a 21st-century woman who navigates familiar emotional dilemmas.

Tranter emphasized that when actors don period costumes, they often revert to speaking in posh accents, ignoring the diversity of voices from that era.
