I’m happy to report, in any case, that the release of “ Love & Friendship” mitigates both the shortage and the surfeit. I refrained from starting that sentence with “It is a truth universally acknowledged,” because it isn’t, and also because that would have been too obvious a way of calling attention to the Austen glut and its attendant clichés. In the past quarter-century or so, there have been too many Jane Austen movies and too few Whit Stillman movies.
