Anne Hathaway’s skilful portrayal of Jane Austen in Becoming Jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can.
Jon Spence,
I could certainly see why Jane would have been attracted to Tom Lefroy if he was anything like this portrayal by James McAvoy!
Sue Hughes, March 2007, Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine
Sue Hughes, March 2007, Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine
McAvoy knew his portrait of Tom could only come alive with the right Jane, and he found Anne Hathaway almost supernaturally suited for the part. “I don’t think we could have chosen anyone better to play Jane Austen," he says.

To be so bent on marriage, to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation – is a sort of thing that shocks me.
What value would there be in life if we are not together?

The film Becoming Jane has given us an image of Jane Austen that liberates our imagination. I envy readers of my book who come to it with Anne Hathaway’s image of Jane in their mind’s eye. You will not have to struggle against the image Cassandra created to see the Jane Austen who was young and pretty, lively and in love. Anne Hathaway’s skilful portrayal of Jane Austen in Becoming Jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can.
Jon Spence,
