They're not romances? Everything I've ever seen or heard or read about Jane Austen portrays most of her stuff as romantic stories. The films for Sense & Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Emma were totally about various characters' love lives.
But, that might just be the films as you said. I haven't read them.
sorry, i nearly screamed when i saw you say that austen's work was romance. not at all, not in the way we think of romance.
How do you mean the way we think of romance? How do you think of it?
I think any story where the main plot/conflict or one of the two or three main plots/conflicts involves one or more relationships of romantic or sexual nature is a romance.
