- **Event Description**: Happy 250th Birthday, Jane Austen! 

Join us for a lively exploration of the many adaptations of Jane Austen’s beloved works with writer Jennifer Rose, from the earliest mash-ups in 1913 to the wide array of modern film versions. We’ll take a closer look at the different creative approaches these adaptations have taken over the years, highlighting both faithful interpretations and imaginative reimaginings. The presentation will also include a brief overview of Austen’s life and novels to provide helpful background. To top it off, we’ll celebrate Jane’s birthday with cupcakes!

Jennifer Rose is the author of two books of poetry, The Old Direction of Heaven(Truman State University Press, 2000) and Hometown for an Hour (Ohio University Press, 2006), winner of the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize and the Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry. Excerpts from her coming-of-age prose memoir have appeared in Ploughshares and Fourth Genre.

A Jane Austen fan for many decades, she serves on the JASNA Massachusetts steering committee and is working on a contemporary version of Austen's Persuasion. Her talk will include readings from that manuscript, as well as a discussion about how she has approached the task of adapting Austen's story. 

When not reading Austen or writing, Jennifer works in the field of downtown revitalization. She is also a life-cycle celebrant, officiating at weddings, funerals and other ceremonies. She lives in Waltham.
