Reviews:
“…A veritable smorgasbord for fans of Austen, as artists, poets, and writers come together to explore why, at 250, Jane is still inspiring, enthralling and infuriating us.”
– Helena Kelly, author The Worlds of Jane Austen
“ Reading Encounters is like discussing Austen with your best friends if your friends group were to include the likes of Julia Quinn and Natalie Jenner among many other talented authors.” – Mary Mintz, Associate Librarian Emerita, American University
“For us, in the twenty-first century, there’s so much to entertain in this carefully curated collection. Savour in sections, or gobble it up in one sitting as we celebrate 250 years of Austen’s life, her writing, and her enduring legacy.” – Dr Gillian Dow, Uses of Austen: Jane’s Afterlives
“Fizzing with originality and creative energy, each contributor reveals their own deeply personal encounter with Austen’s work, finding new relevance and importance in the great novelist en route.” – Hannah Grieg, historian, author and film consultant.
