Stosowny i malowniczy. O ogrodach i krajobrazie w kilku filmowych adaptacjach powieści Jane Austen.
Appropriate and Scenic. On the Meaning of Garden in Several Film Adaptations of Jane Austen’s Novels.

Summary/Abstract: Oleńska writes about the presence and anthropological meanings of gardens and landscape in films based on Jane Austen’s five novels - "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", "Emma", "Persuasion" and "Mansfield Park". Gardens and landscape are constantly present in the novels although their descriptions, like a description of houses, are rather laconic. Although their clear function is that of scenery they play the essential part of background and symbolic context for the plot. They are above all anthropological. Oleńska emphasizes the importance of the garden as a garden of love to build the corporality of the heroes, as a place where they are liberated from conventions, a place of entertainment and occupations and an instrument of a moral judgment of the heroes.
