I've got Vanity Fair on the brain at the moment - I'm writing a paper on Mira Nair's film. She's an Indian director adapting high British Colonial lit, and she takes some really interesting liberties with the text, including a whole new ending that has major postcolonialist implications ...

But I have a habit of locating historical novels by positioning them against Angel's timeline. Erm. And I thought they'd like each other! ... mainly I just thought it would be hot :P
