Longbourn Revisited: The Other Bennet Sister
Friday, 5 June, 2026
Send us Fan Mail(This episode contains spoilers).I only have a few more episodes to go, but this series so far is refreshing, delightful and vicariously quite healing. As a middle child, Mary Bennet has never been the star or even costar of any Pride and Prejudice adaptation, rather an outcast and object of ridicule. But in this reimagining of the story, Mary finally emerges as swan from her oppressive existence at Longbourn, becoming the main character in her own life as she takes a new job in London. Turns out she's a smart, sweet thoughtful woman with tons to offer the world, and desires of her own, and I can't wait for her happy ending."We should sweep away these old tired rules..."This scene could easily turn the most hardened heart into a poetry lover."What if Mary Bennet’s life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters?" This sounds like a great idea for a book and a show.Brief but interesting interview with Ella Bruccoleri on playing Mary BennetSupport the showIf you enjoyed this episode, please click share in your podcast app and tell your friends!
