Reading with Jane Austen Webinar Series
Jane Austen & Co. is offering a series of free webinars on the theme "Reading with Jane Austen" from November 2022 through February 2023. Top scholars, including Susan Allen Ford, Devoney Looser, and Christine Kenyon Jones, will discuss various aspects of the theme—from the books and authors Jane Austen read to how books were made in the Regency period.
Visit the Jane Austen & Co. website for details and to register.
Improvised Jane Austen
Improvised Jane Austen tells a tale, on the spot, in the style of the most beloved 19th century authoress. In each original story, you may be introduced to headstrong heroines, steadfast suitors, meddling mothers, charming cads, auspicious aunts, silly sisters, boisterous brothers, verbose vicars, fastidious fathers, and any number of Austenesque auteurs! The cast is entirely female, non-binary, and non-conforming identified folk. Empowering the performers to speak truths that easily transcend from Austen's era directly to our own.
Visit the Improvised Jane Austen website for more information.
