JASNA Victoria - Jane Austen in North American Periodicals: Highlights of the First Hundred Years
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Join the Victoria Region as we welcome JASNA President Mary Mintz for her talk on "Jane Austen in North American Periodicals: Highlights of the First Hundred Years."
The articles that discuss Austen provide an interesting story of a woman author who was deeply appreciated for her writing and for her biography - for the most part. Perhaps, not surprisingly, her greatest advocates and defenders were other prominent women. Critical standards and critical language were vastly different from the 21st century interpretations we enjoy today. Continuous attention, appreciation, and even controversy helped ensure that her reputation remained alive for the first hundred years of her afterlife among North American readers.
Mary Mintz holds master's degrees in library science and English literature, with a specialization in 19th century British literature. After a 40-year career, she retired as the associate director for outreach at the American University Library in Washington, D.C., as well as the humanities and honors librarian.
