In celebration of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday and lasting influence! It is a truth (not) universally acknowledged that legendary author Jane Austen saw a lot of war and conflicts during her lifetime which greatly influenced the writing of her six novels. Why do we think of love and spend so much time with Jane Austen, even when she's not thinking of us? In this presentation, UCSD literature professor Lillian Lu takes a deep dive into Austen's famous style, free indirect discourse, and connects it to contemporary Asian diasporic adaptations of Austen's work. There will be a fun close reading exercise with the audience illustrating Austen's use of free indirect discourse and how her satire operates. Registration encouraged. Refreshments served. Dr. Lu is an Assistant Professor of Literature at UC San Diego, where she teaches classes about eighteenth-century Anglophone literature, the Gothic, and imperial culture. She’s also a fantasy writer, her debut novel is forthcoming in 2027. Visit mysdpl.org/austenevents for other Austen 250 events! San Diego Public Library on Instagram
