Jane Austen discussion

Historium Press has reprinted Austen's classics featuring many of our favorite J.A.F.F. authors. What an honor to be among such a talented group! We each were tasked with writing the Foreword for one of the novels. I was selected for Persuasion. Please take a look at the link below to find this charming collection.

Thank you, Jan (I've also updated the link)!

How did you procure such a fabulous writing assignment?

Mirta, I looked at your website so I answered my question. Did you ever read Paul Cohen. she did a couple of modern and Jewish Jane Austin. I remembering Persuasion more than P&P. Jane Austen in Scarsdale. I never found she wrote others. but that was ages ago.

Jan, it all started when The Historical Fiction Company read and reviewed my book, "Celestial Persuasion." I was contacted by their affiliate company, The Historium Press, when they began their new project of reprinting Austen's classics. I nearly fell out of my chair as I read the email!

I haven't read Paula Cohen's work. I am not a big fan of modern interpretations, but that's only because I favor historical or period pieces. My own work tends to focus on incorporating that love with Judaica and Jewish Argentina.

Very cool Mirta.

For serious reading: The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen
For everyday reading: The Everyman's Classics Jane Austen. (small and light hardcovers)
For showing off: a volume of Chapman's first edition of Jane Austen.
For binge-watching: The BBC's old Jane Austen Collection (both on a physical television and on the computer).
For when I'm feeling unusually "janeite": The Jane Austen BBC Full-cast radio dramatizations.

And for when you are feeling unusually 'non-janeite' you can always watch the hideously bad Dakota Johnson version of what is obviously NOT Persuasion.......................................................!!!!!!!
