The tell-tale compression of the pages...Wedding bells; soaring music and sunny skies; a kiss shared by the happy couple: Jane Austen's novels, when adapted for the screen, invariably end with the marriage of the hero and heroine. On the page, Austen's endings are more complex.
In this talk, Dr Gillian Dow (University of Southampton) will range across Austen's published and unpublished writing, looking in detail at the choices Austen made when concluding her fictions.
Dr Gillian Dow is an Associate Professor in the English Department at the University of Southampton and was Executive Director of Chawton House from 2014-2019. She has published widely on Jane Austen and her contemporaries and has a special interest in pan-European women writers and translation.
Ticket price is £15 in person or £8.25 for live stream tickets.
