My problem with this, I think, isn't the adaptations per se--because of course there are already many works that attempt to modernize and reinvent Austen--but the use of the same titles and the packaging (the Austen Project) of these as a set of Jane Austen books (even though her name isn't on the cover). Something about that just makes it feel like these are supposed to be a "new and improved" substitute for the real thing.
