In celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday, we're thrilled to welcome two experts on one of the world's most cherished novelists. Devoney Looser and Dr Zoë McGee will take a deep dive into Austen’s life, writing and legacy. They will also discuss how Jane and her now-overlooked contemporaries used their stories to try to change society's mind and shine a light on what the Regency period was really like for women.
About the books:
Wild For Austen by Devoney Looser You may have thought Jane Austen was a quiet spinster, but Devoney Looser puts that myth to rest. Tracing the author's life and legacy across 250 years, she reveals an Austen far wilder than the one we know.
