Teen Austen

On Saturday, June 25, we will discuss Teenage Writing by Jane Austen, Katherine Sutherland and Freya Johnston, editors, via Zoom at 1 p.m. Hawai‘i Standard Time. In these stories, written “to be shared and admired by a named audience of family and friends … devices and themes which appear subtly in Austen’s later fiction run riot openly and exuberantly across the teenage page. Drunkenness, brawling, sexual misbehavior, theft, and even murder prevail. It is as if Lydia Bennett is the narrator.”

Email JASNAHawaiiNei@gmail.com for the link or join via Zoom.

The book is available from
Jane Austen Books, $12 plus small shipping charge
Oxford University Press, $12.95, audio guide and interviews available
Barnes & Noble, $12.95
Amazon $12.95 (also available in e-reader and used versions)
