I’m Gillian Anderson, and this is Masterpiece Classic.
Both Elinor and Marianne are involved with slippery young men, and they’re learning what it’s like to be emotionally and physically vulnerable. But who taught Jane Austen to recognize and understand these feelings? Was it a young man called Tom Lefroy? Jane met him at a ball when they were both just 20. Writing with the exuberance of a young girl in love for the first time, she celebrates how good-looking he is, how much they like the same books, how many times they danced. But Tom was being primed for a brilliant legal career and was expected to marry not a charming, witty and penniless girl, but a woman of wealth and rank. They never saw one another again. And Jane never married. Years later, when Tom Lefroy was an old man, he confessed to a nephew that, indeed, he had been in love with her.
