To celebrate ‘the exquisite touch’ of Jane Austen, Auckland City Libraries is hosting free talks from celebrated author and lecturer Susannah Fullerton.
Jane Austen's brilliantly witty, elegantly structured satirical fiction has inspired countless movies, sequels and even dating guides. Her language, humour and wit continue to delight and entertain new readers all over the world.
Susannah Fullerton is a literary lecturer known for her engaging, entertaining style who appears at reader courses and forums all over the world to rave reviews. She has written two books about Jane Austen and is the President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia.
Her volume Jane Austen: Antipodean Views is a collection of opinions about Jane
