Jane Austen: Working Woman
November 21, 2020 @ 1:00 pm
Speaker: Liz Philosophos Cooper, the president of the JASNA (Jane Austen Society of North America).
Topic: Jane Austen: Working Woman
“I must keep to my own style & go on in my own Way.” Jane Austen was a working woman and determined professional writer. This illustrated talk will explore Austen’s involvement in the business of publishing novels during a time of rampant financial instability. The Austen family were active participants in both war and finance and these two sectors intertwined in the story of Jane Austen’s writing and publishing.
