Austenatiousness: Ros, Tilly @tillysshelf and Kathy on all things Jane Austen - a colloquy for #JaneAustenJuly created by the wonderful Shawn @shawnbreathesbooks. An enormous thank you to Shawn for bringing us together and then turning our conversation into a coherent video.
We discuss our favourite Austen novels, this year's group read Emma and the topic of disability in Austen's work. Kathy also draws on her academic background teaching 18th and 19th century literature to suggest some ideas for the JAJ prompt to read a work by one of Austen's contemporaries.
If you need reminding of the details of Jane Austen July 2025 hosted by Katie, Marissa and Claudia look at @katiejlumsden's Announcement and Recommendations: youtube.com/watch?v=LtgvSM6FxOI
