English DepartmentEnglish DepartmentThe Global Jane Austen: Celebrating and Commemorating 250 years of Jane AustenDescriptionAusten scholars and enthusiasts are invited to the University of Southampton, Hampshire, for a conference commemorating Austen’s birth in the year 1775, in the port city that was Jane Austen’s home from 1806-1809. We encourage the broadest possible interpretation of the conference theme The Global Jane Austen, and welcome papers on all aspects of Austen’s writing and life, her posthumous reception, her influences, and her writing alongside that of her contemporaries. We particularly welcome papers on adaptations, translations and creative responses to Austen’s work (written and/or performed in all languages), material and textual transmission of her works, and her reception and reputation in countries outside the Anglophone world. Discussion of the Global within her works (and those of her contemporaries) is equally acceptable. The delegate day-rate includes a two-course lunch, tea and coffee, and access to all talks scheduled for that day. A conference dinner will take place on the evening of the 11th. You will have the option to select the Conference Dinner and Accommodation as part of the booking process. Payment using the Online Store can only be completed using Visa and Mastercard Credit/Debit Cards or PayPal. Please select your chosen attendance category.
