2023 March event hosted by JASNA-MN For our March meeting, we will talk amongst ourselves on the topic of Jane Austen retellings, adaptations, reinterpretations, companion pieces -- e.g. books, articles, fan fiction, YouTube videos, podcasts, TikToks, movies… Pick any one of the following questions and come to the Zoom meeting prepared to discuss in 3 minutes or less: Was there some insight from any one work that shed light on a character, scene, or event that made you understand Austen better? Is there an interpretation you found ridiculous, delightful or both? Is there a work you’d like to talk us into reading/hearing/watching? How and/or when did you come into the Jane Austen world? What drew you in (“arts and allurements”)? What keeps you here? We will create a shareable list which we will post on our JASNA-MN website Forum (here) at the comments section.

What a fun day that was! It only took a week or two to recover. Thanks again Gina & Rick King for their generosity. It was a great fundraising day for JASNA, JAHM, and Chawton House.

After our JASNA-MN discussion regarding My Dearest Miss Fairfax , by Jeanette Watts, I was reading some on line about the postal service, and followed a link which I thought others might also enjoy. https://janeaustensworld.com/2011/02/19/the-obituary-of-charlotte-collins-by-andrew-cape/
