Tuesday 11:00 Gameroom Book Discussion: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Discussion Leader – Miwako Ogasawara    Jane Austen’s first novel was published anonymously in 1811, with the author on the title page listed as simply “By a Lady.” It sold out its first print run within about a year and a second run immediately followed. In print continuously since then, it has been excerpted, abridged, illustrated, parodied, annotated, and translated countless times. It has been adapted numerous times for the theater, radio, television and film with perhaps the most notable example being the 1995 film starring Emma Thompson who also won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Yale literary giant Harold Bloom was a major fan including an entire chapter on Austen in his book The Western Canon in which he wrote: “The art and passion of reading well and deeply is waning, but [Jane] Austen still inspires people to become fanatical readers.”
