Abstract
[en] This thesis explores how the 2008 series Lost in Austen offers a contemporary and original version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. It focuses on how a twenty-first century woman, Amanda, enters the story and disrupts the original plot. By comparing this series with the more faithful 1995 adaptation, the study shows how adaptations can reshape and reinvent a classic novel to fit contemporary expectations.
