\"\"<\/a>Elizabethtown College Assistant Professor of English, Dr. Tara Moore, oversaw a craft session and gave a talk at the recent Jane Austen Day event<\/a> at Manor Mill on June 17, in Monkton, Maryland.\u00a0Moore\u2019s talk, \u201cAusten\u2019s Life and After Life,\u201d covered the economics of Jane Austen\u2019s life and her family\u2019s struggle to remain in the pseudo-gentry class despite financial challenges.<\/p>\n

Dr. Moore recently joined the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) and began volunteering at Austen events following a trip to Austen-specific sites in England as part of her faculty-led study abroad course last summer. At this event, she discussed how financial troubles affected Austen\u2019s writing, as Austen was most productive with her writing during periods of housing stability, along with Austen\u2019s prodigious marketing appeal which continues strong nearly 250 years since her birth.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMy enjoyment of Austen\u2019s novels contributed to my decision to become an English major and later an English professor,\u201d Moore said. “Participating in these events\u2014learning how Austen continues to impact readers of different ages and backgrounds\u2014adds depth to my teaching of her works.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event was presented by the JASNA and Manor Mill. It served as a day for Austen fans, also referred to as \u201cJaneites,\u201d to gather and celebrate the life and works of Jane Austen. During the sold-out event, Austen aficionados led discussions on her \u201cbig six\u201d novels, personal life, and the legacy she left that still impacts book publishing to this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
