JASNA NorCal Virtual Reading Group: Wild for Austen: A Rebellious, Subversive, and Untamed Jane by Devoney Looser
September 8 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm PDT
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.
As 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.”
