NEW DATE: Book discussion of Jane Austen’s Juvenilia

The last pieces of Austen’s writing we will read are the first she wrote. Join us in reading and discussing her Juvenilia: mostly shorter works she wrote between the ages of 11-17. They are said to be funny and provocative, and were likely written to entertain her family.

Note that there are many editions of her Juvenilia. Ray Moore’s and Peter Sabor’s are both complete and highly rated. Sabor’s include some notes in the margins that Austen wrote, as well as significantly more explanatory notes. As a result, Sabor’s version is about 575 pages to Moore’s 335 (and is more expensive). Choose whichever edition makes sense to you!

I will announce the location as the date gets closer—it will be in or near Columbia, MD.
