Join us for a talk with best-selling author Rebecca Romney!
Jane Austen wasn’t a lone genius. She wrote at a time of great experimentation for women writers — and clues about those women, and the exceptional books they wrote, are sprinkled like breadcrumbs throughout Austen’s work.
So where had these women gone? In Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, Romney investigates the disappearance of Austen’s heroes — women writers who were erased from the Western canon — to reveal who they were, what they meant to Austen and how they were forgotten.
