Courtesy of A&E, today we launch our Author Spotlight feature with a special giveaway celebrating the romantic works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Sir Walter Scott, Henry Fielding, Baroness Emmuska Orczy, Richard Doddridge Blackmore and Richard Alexander Hough – and celebrating them in A&E’s spectacular DVD format. From the A&E Romance Collection Special Edition DVD Set description:
These acclaimed adaptations of literature’s classics transport us to amazing worlds: the chivalrous pomp of Ivanhoe, the bodice-ripping adventure of Tom Jones, the intimate side of monarchy in Victoria and Albert, and so many more.
And now it’s even easier to lose yourself in the captivating drama of these beloved, masterful small-screen adaptations. Offered in a brilliant, slimmer case that still contains every moment of these classic programs, this must-have collector’s set stores all 14 DVDs of acclaimed drama and still leaves room on your shelf (for more wonderful A&E® DVDs!).
Long celebrated for their lavish production values, brilliant scripting and unforgettable performances — with star turns by everyone from Colin Firth to Sirs Nigel Hawthorne and Peter Ustinov — these films represent the very best of the genre, and any discerning fan of quality programming and intelligent entertainment will be delighted to own them.
We are pleased and privileged to offer this new space-saving SPECIAL EDITION presentation of A&E®’s best-selling ROMANCE COLLECTION.
