The Jane Austen Festival of the century may be over, but fourteen of the presentations can now be heard on our audio archives that you can access on our website. Several thousand visitors from around the world came to Madison for a week to enjoy lectures and panel discussions, performances and movies, exhibits, music and dance, tours and readings (and even a game show) devoted to this early 19th-century writer. Now you can hear Margaret Drabble's eloquent talk on Austen and fathers, screenwriter Andrew Davies entertaining and insightful lecture adapting Jane Austen to film, and many other fascinating and provocative festival highlights. To listen, just click on the speaker or event name.
Our Web Archive of the Jane Austen Festival is being extensively reorganized. We will post an announcement when our work is complete. Apologies for any inconvenience.
