Just how did Jane Austen become the celebrity author and inspiration for generations of loyal fans she's become today? Learn more from Devoney Looser's The Making of Jane Austen. Check out the video.

​The Making of Jane Austen was named to Publishers Weekly's Best Summer Books (Nonfiction) for 2017 and its Top 10 Forthcoming Titles in Literary Criticism, to Real Simple's 7 Books to Commemorate the Life of Jane Austen, and to Bustle's 13 New Nonfiction Books by Women that Will Nourish Your Brain All Summer Long. 
 
​Looking for 3 minutes of super-awesome, Jane Austen rollerskating action with bonus Janeite history? Watch The Making of Jane Austen book trailer.

Is  It  right  for  your  book  club?

Yes, definitely! The paperback edition now includes a brief reader's guide with discussion questions. I'd love to hear from you if you're considering choosing it.

This book works best in clubs familiar with Austen's fiction OR its film adaptations. (You could read or watch Pride and Prejudice and then choose this book.)

Janeite  Fun  from
the  Extra  Illustrations
