19th century writer Jane Austen's understanding of the human heart is laid bare in classic novels like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. They may have been written 200 years ago, but Newcastle University professor Sinéad Murphy says there are still lessons to be learned from austen's work about finding love. We talk to Dr Murphy about her new advice book, called 'The Jane Austen Rules: A Classic Guide to Modern Love'.
