Becoming Jane Austen

Becoming Jane Austen

Becoming Jane Austen in the late 18th Century required considerable imagination and resilience. And while she remains the preeminent female author of her time, she also read other women writers. In the book Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, by Rebecca Romney, the reader comes to know some of the voices that echoed in Austen’s mind. As we celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary, please join us in a discussion of her life and some of her lively contemporaries.
