Becoming Jane Austen - Virtual Program

In celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday, please join us for a discussion of Jane Austen's life and some of her lively contemporaries.

Becoming Jane Austen in the late 18th century required considerable imagination and resilience. And while she remains the preeminent female author of her time, she also read other women writers. In the book Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, by Rebecca Romney, the reader comes to know some of the voices that echoed in Austen’s mind. Please join us for a discussion of Jane Austen’s life and some of her lively contemporaries.

Led by Diane Proctor, a former administrator and teacher at Milton Academy, The Hotchkiss School, and Middlesex School.

This is a virtual program on Zoom.  Please register and the Zoom link will be sent to you a few days before the program.

Presented in partnership with the John C. Hart Memorial Library and several other Westchester libraries.
