I love Knightley and now am a terrific fan of Jonny Lee Miller. The other Mr. Knightleys were very good but as I read Charity Envieth Not..I could see JLM as I read Knighley's thoughts. I trully appreciated the interaction between John and George..it gave both characters more life.Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-65065471473507282932011-03-03T09:48:09.010-07:002011-03-03T09:48:09.010-07:00JLM as Mr. Knightley is my perfect ideal man!

I just love his basic character, It would be great to find a non-fictional hero just like him. JLM as Edmund in Mansfield Park is also superb. As was mentioned by the director of Emma, JLM has a basic stillness about him and has such incredible subtlty in his facial expressions that if you don't watch very closely, you will miss his feelings expressed and think him very dull indeed. I recommend to watch the characters of Edmund and Mr. Knightley very closely, especially facial expression and the look in his eyes in his scenes and you'll see so much more of the character than you might at first think. <br /><br />I'm so glad the complete Mr. knightley chronicles will available soon as I'm making myself wait until both books are available to read his story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-90407185887046198672011-02-22T07:02:20.686-07:002011-02-22T07:02:20.686-07:00Knightley is one of my favorite Austen heroes, so ...Knightley is one of my favorite Austen heroes, so I'd love to read more about him!<br /><br />Margay1122ATaolDOTcomMargay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-68111745924324926982011-02-21T09:37:02.534-07:002011-02-21T09:37:02.534-07:00I enjoyed this thoroughly interesting interview.

Just wanted to stop by and learn more about Ms. Cornthwaite! I loved her writing and especially enjoyed how her Highbury was just like Jane Austen's.

Emma is not my favorite but perhaps it's because I don't have the sense of their personalities as you have described. I would love to visit Ireland. (I loved your recent pics) My favorite Mr. K is Jeremy Northam and Mark Strong. I left a comment on the previous site as well.

This was a fascinating interview. I lived in Ireland for a year when I was 14/15 (early 90's), and my dad was temporarily relocated for work. We did our version of the British Isle tours when there and visited Oban, which I recall much as described. I was reading through Victor Hugo at the time, but your reminiscences here make me wish it had been Austen. Lovely interview - thank you ladies!<br /><br />Oh, and I fully agree that Jeremy Northam was the best Knightley, though all have been excellent, in their own ways.Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-67133136717954848472011-02-19T17:30:19.443-07:002011-02-19T17:30:19.443-07:00Very interesting post.

My Mr Knightley will always be Jeremy Northam, but every actor has brought something different and interesting to the role. <br />By the way, a very small thing, the picture you have of Jeremy Northam is from his portrayal of poet Randolph Henry Ash in 'Possession' and not his performance as Mr Knightley in 'Emma'.<br /><br />GillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
