Jane Austen and Crime

Which of Jane Austen’s characters commit hanging offenses? Where do suicide and murder appear in her writings? What were the duties of characters who were magistrates and how does Austen use prison imagery in Mansfield Park? Susannah’s talk on Jane Austen and Crime, the subject of her acclaimed book, will answer these questions and more! Susannah will be joining us from Sydney, Australia to show us the darker side of Jane Austen, and welcomes you to join her on Zoom.
