Patchwork: A Graphic Biography of Jane Austen

By Libraries Sheffield

Overview

For the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, writer and artist Kate Evans will be speaking about her new graphic biography of Austen

In her later years, Jane Austen made a patchwork quilt. She folded thousands of tiny scraps of fabric over slips of paper and painstakingly stitched them together. In Patchwork, Kate Evans employs these slivers of cloth to illustrate Jane Austen’s life story. Evans teases apart the threads that connect Austen’s beloved novels, the events of her life, and the fabric of society in Regency England.

Kate Evans will be speaking about this major new work of graphic biography. Her patchwork quilt of embroidered images from the book will also be available to view.
