Jane Austen 248th Birthday Bash!
Sense and Sensibility: An Annotated Edition from Harvard University Press, PLUS: The Making of the Harvard Annotated Editions of Austen’s Novels with HUP Editor Heather Hughes
The next meeting of the Boston Austen Book Club will be on Jane Austen’s 248th birthday, Saturday, December 16 at 2:30pm, and we will meet online.
We will be discussing the Harvard Annotated Edition of Sense and Sensibility, as well as the making of the all the Austen Annotated Editions from Harvard University Press.
My friend, poet and Harvard University Press editor Heather Hughes (https://birdmaddgirl.com/), will be joining us to talk about her work, as she was instrumental in the production of this series from HUP
Thank you so much to Heather for agreeing to join us. I cannot WAIT to book nerd out with Heather and my fellow BABC Janeites!
UPCOMING
We WILL meet in-person, on a weekend date in Jan or Feb 2024, to make up for not having a Summer 2023 meeting. We will be going to Salem’s “Jolie Tea Room” for High Tea.
We’ll meet to discuss Austen Adaptations for the Screen. (Please keep your “Pride & Prejudice: Keira Knightley vs Colin Firth Version” fighting civil, as we will be in a fancy place.)
If you are interested, I’ll be taking reservations closer to the event. It is $37/person. When I have a better idea of the date and time, I’ll follow up with you all to get you signed up.
Dress is medium fancy, like if you were going to a Kentucky Derby party or a slightly dressy NYE event or something like that.
More info on this Make-up Meeting after the holidays. It should be tons of fun!
Hope to see you on the 16th of December for Jane’s 248th birthday!
