Rebecca Romney with Sunday Steinkirchner - Jane Austen's Bookshelf
Sat, Nov 8 at 1pm
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, rare books dealer and book specialist on the History Channel reality show Pawn Stars, Rebecca Romney discusses her latest publication, Jane Austen’s Bookshelf.
The book investigates the disappearance of Austen’s heroines—women writers who were erased from the Western canon—to reveal who they were, what they meant to Austen, and how they were forgotten, despite frequently being significant authors. Romney collects the once-famed works of these forgotten writers and physically recreates Austen’s bookshelf—in conversation with antiquarian book dealer Sunday Steinkirchner.
