Why is Jane Austen so Popular?

From books, to film, TV, and theater, Jane Austen is everywhere! Celebrate Austen’s 250th Birthday with Lisa Brown, former Regional Coordinator for the Central and Western New York Region of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Discover why the 18th Century English novelist is still popular today!
