SUMMARY:JASNA NorCal Virtual Reading Group: Wild for Austen: A Rebellious\, Subversive\, and Untamed Jane by Devoney Looser
DESCRIPTION:For our September reading group\, we’re catching up with Devoney Looser‘s 2025 book all about the wilder side of Austen’s writing\, life\, and legacy. \n\n\n\nAs the book jacket explains\, “Thieves! Spies! Abolitionists! Ghosts! If we ever truly believed Jane Austen to be a quiet spinster\, scholar Devoney Looser puts that myth to rest at last in Wild for Austen. These\, and many other events and characters\, come to life throughout this rollicking book. Austen\, we learn\, was far wilder in her time than we’ve given her credit for\, and Looser traces the fascinating and fantastical journey her legacy has taken over the past 250 years.” \n\n\n\nRegister here: https://events.com/r/en_US/tickets/jasna-norcal-september-reading-group-1070101

SUMMARY:JASNA NorCal presents Jane Austen in 41 Objects\, a virtual presentation by Professor Kathryn Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:Jane Austen in 41 Objects is Professor Kathryn Sutherland’s attempt to address a paradox: of all writers Jane Austen is among those very few that we most ardently wish to know but so little survives for us on which to base our knowledge. Summarizing a life in 41 objects is a way of acknowledging that no life can ever be fully known; all our encounters with another life are selective and partial—Jane Austen’s most of all. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProfessor Kathryn Sutherland is Senior Research Fellow and Professor of English Literature\, St Anne’s College\, Oxford.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nVisit jasnanorcal.org for more information and registration \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\njasnanorcal.org for registration and more information

SUMMARY:JASNA NorCal presents  “Austen’s Forgiveable Rakes\,” a virtual presentation by Rachel Gevlin
DESCRIPTION:What do Austen’s novels tell us about attitudes towards rakishness? This talk will consider Austen’s most famous rakish figures—John Willoughby\, Henry Crawford\, and George Wickham—and explore each novel’s narrative handling of these men’s sexual transgressions. Rather than excoriate rakish behavior\, Austen’s novels present these characters with various forgiving conclusions—conclusions that appear to promote sympathy toward men’s sexual missteps that are not afforded to women. \n\n\n\nRachel Gevlin is a Teaching Assistant Professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University\, where she teaches courses on 18th-century literature\, literary theory\, and women writers. Her book project explores representations of marital disunion in the 18th-century novel\, and her writing on Austen has appeared or is forthcoming in English Literary History\, Persuasions\, and Persuasions On-Line. She has given many presentations on Austen to regional societies of JASNA across the country\, and she was a breakout speaker at the 2023\, 2024\, and 2025 AGMs. In 2025\, she received the JASNA IVP Fellowship to conduct research at Chawton\, and she looks forward to sharing her research with the JASNA community. \n\n\n\nvisit jasnanorcal.org for additional information and registration
