A Preview of Persuasions No. 29
The forthcoming issue of JASNA's journal, Persuasions No. 29, has gone to the printer! Featuring essays from "Discovering Emma in Vancouver," the 2007 Annual General Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, it promises to be a fascinating collection.
Highlights of the new issue of Persuasions include the plenary talks by Jocelyn Harris, Juliet McMaster, Janet Todd, and Jean Barman and a variety of discoveries about Highbury, including its political geography, its relation to London, its inhabitants on the autistic spectrum, and even its apples! Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club, writes about adaptations, and other essays examine Austen's own adaptations of horrid novels, contemporary plays, and poetry.
