Renowned literary scholar Janet Todd reflects on how Jane Austen has inspired and challenged her through different phases of her life.
A free event in celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday.
Janet Todd is a novelist and internationally renowned scholar, known especially for her biographies of women writers.
Janet will talk about her recent book Living with Jane Austen, which shows why and how - for over half a century - Austen has inspired and challenged its author through different phases of her life. Part personal memoir, part expert interaction with all the letters, manuscripts and published novels, the book reveals what living with Jane Austen has meant to Janet and what it might also mean to others.
Please join us for this free event. We anticipate high demand for tickets. If you book but need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can release places for others.
