Jane Austen in Pop Culture

Join us for a talk about all things Jane Austen with author Tirzah Price! In celebration of 2025 marking Jane Austen's 250th birthday, Price will be Zooming in to discuss Austen's lasting impact on pop culture. From cheesy 2000's rom-coms based on her work to eclectic spin-offs like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Austen's work has persisted in our minds and media for centuries—even if you've never read an Austen novel, you've likely seen, read, or enjoyed something inspired by her! Price will delve into the what's and why's of Austen's continued impact on pop culture, including Austen's impacts on her own work.

This program is sponsored by Beyond the Page, the National Endowment for the Humanities and Madison Community Foundation. Price will be Zooming in for this discussion. The discussion will be screened live in-person at the library, but attendees are welcome to join remotely as well. Registration is not required for in-person attendees. Participants who wish to attend remotely should email Kelly at a21ja2V3aW4gfCByZ3BsICEgb3Jn before noon on November 20 in order to receive the Zoom link.
