Happy Birthday, Jane!

Today, December 16, is Jane Austen's birthday! The excerpt reprinted below comes from a special birthday announcement, via email, from our JASNA President Iris Lutz:

Jane Austen was born 237 years ago today: December 16, 1775.  As we celebrate her birthday, it's my pleasure to announce that the winter edition of Persuasions On-Line, Vol. 33, No.1 is now posted on the JASNA website as a gift to all her admire her work. 

This edition includes selected presentations from the 2012 AGM held in Brooklyn, New York, on the theme of "Sex, Money, and Power in Jane Austen's Fiction."  In addition, the Miscellany offers essays on a variety of fascinating topics, as well as Jane Austen bibliographies for 2008 and 2011.
