Jane Austen: Claire Harman, Lucasta Miller and Janet Todd October 14, 2010

Jane Austen is possibly the world’s best-loved author, a touchstone for readers and writers alike — yet extraordinarily her books were out of print for many years after her death. Claire Harman’s Jane’s Fame traces her rediscovery and the subsequent explosion of popular interest in her life and works. She joins Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth, and Janet Todd, general editor of Jane Austen in Context, to discuss the author and how she conquered the world.
