Jane Hayes hearts Mr. Darcy. No, really she has a life-size cutout of Colin Firth, in character as the Jane Austen hero, standing in her apartment. Shed rather watch him fall in love with Jennifer Ehles Elizabeth Bennet for the thousandth time than make out with her own date. She has Darcy was here spelled out in blocky letters over her bed. But the way we know for sure is that, on the 2013 Austenland movie poster, Jane (Keri Russell) holds up a tote bag that reads I Mr. Darcy.

Two hundred years after her untimely death, this is what we think of when we think of Jane Austen. Darcy-themed T-shirts. Lizzie Bennet action figures. Colin Firth in a soaking-wet top. Lonely women who nurse visions of Regency elegance and old-fashioned courtship. Movies in which studly men profess undying love to beautiful women in the midst of astonishingly cinematic rainstorms.
