Thursday August 19 – JASNA NY Monthly Discussion Group

Thursday, August 19 at 7 pm 

The focus is Mansfield Park and its connection to classic fairy tales. Specific questions will follow, as well as a short reading assignment. (Hint: don’t just focus on Fanny.)

No group meeting in September.

Thursday,  October 28 at 7 pm (NB: fourth Thursday)

“ ‘My sore-throats, you know, are always worse than anybody’s’: Mary Musgrove and Jane Austen’s Art of Whining” is an article by Jan Fergus that will serve as our starting point for a discussion of Austen’s ability to make us exclaim “I know someone just like that!”

“And they lived happily ever after…” Let’s consider how likely that phrase is for the various pairs — not just heroes and heroines — that marry in Austen’s novels.

Contact Sarah Rose Kearns  at rose@janeaustenspersuasion.com on how to attend.

All discussion group meetings currently scheduled to be held over Zoom.
