Welcome to the World of Period Dramas

As you read my blog, dedicated to period dramas, you’ll find that my story began with Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice. The goal for this blog is to discover more of our interest (period dramas) and have tons of fun in the process. I’m grateful for any feedback I get. I want everyone who comes to this page to enjoy it thoroughly but I know that is not always possible. However, any polite suggestions are greatly appreciated! I am eager to know how I can improve this page and make it more interesting. But please be aware, if you want to change everything, I think it would be good for you to know the best way make something exactly the way you want it is to do it yourself. In other words, why not get your own blog if you don’t like what you see here? But I am eager to discover more book and movies related to this topic so, please don’t be afraid to leave a comment telling me of your favorite period drama or a period drama that you don’t see here but thinks belongs. I am a person and I can only go so fast so please be patient! There’s no way I’m going to be able to put ever period drama ever made on here but, I will promise to do my best. So, take off your shoes, kick back and relax, and welcome to the world where period dramas come to life!

Enjoy!

Thank You,

Under the Greenwood Tree


Written by Thomas Hardy in 1872, Under the Greenwood tree, takes place in a small village in the south of England. The quiet town is in a commotion as a young, beautiful schoolteacher, Fancy Day, comes to ‘teach the children’. Though, this ‘town beauty’ is a quick attraction to the young men! Dick Dewy especially wants the hand of Fanny Day but, that doesn’t mean the richer, better connected men aren’t ready to put up a fight for her as well. Will Fanny chose Dick over the others and, if she does, will her father allow her to loose her chances living a rich, comfortable life that she would have had with another man?

Thank you so much Ladyhawke87 for taking the time to make this beautiful video and for allowing it to be displayed here!
