Tropes

Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Grittyin 109 titlesVery much on the gritty end. They used only enough artificial light to make night-time scenes basically visible, and lit the interiors with candles wherever possible.Adaptation Distillationin 1,956 titlesSome of the dialogue has been... condensed, to make it more speakable. For example, when Anne is at Lyme she sees a handsome gent admiring her, but doesn't recognise him.All 31 tropes
