Description

250 years after her birth, Jane Austen remains a giant in the cultural zeitgeist. Her works have been adapted hundreds of times over multiple mediums, and she remains one of the most popular writers in the English language. Yet little is known about Jane Austen the person. The majority of her letters were likely destroyed, leaving us only 161. In the absence of her own direct testimony, where do we find the real Jane Austen? In her books? In her family and friends? In the "world" of Jane Austen or in the many iterations of her life and afterlife? Finding Jane Austen is a scripted podcast that seeks to uncover the historical Jane Austen. This podcast will introduce both seasoned Janeites and new readers to the life and works of Jane Austen through accessible scripted programming and interviews with top Austen scholars to recreate Jane Austen's life and world. Finding Jane Austen is researched, written, and narrated by Dr. Anne Fertig. Jeanette Patrick and Jim Ambuske are the executive producers.
