Featured Guest Speaker: Paula Byrne

Paula Byrne's 'The Genius of Jane Austen' is subtitled 'Her Love and Theatre and Why she is a Hit in Hollywood' and represents an expanded edition of her critically acclaimed 2002 book 'Jane Austen and the Theatre' in which the central thesis was that Austen's comic genius was decisively shaped by her love of theatre.
