About this event

Other

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.
