JASNA-MISSISSIPPI UPCOMING EVENTS
MONDAY, MARCH 29TH, 7PM: JASNA-MISSISSIPPI BOOK CLUB, THE OTHER BENNET SISTER, BY JANICE HADLOW
The Other Bennet Sister is described on amazon as follows: "What if Mary Bennet’s life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister, a debut novel with exactly the affection and authority to satisfy Jane Austen fans."
SUNDAY, APRIL 18TH, 3PM: JANE AUSTEN BINGO WITH JASNA MEMBER LISA BROWN, REGIONAL COORDINATOR OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW YORK & CREATOR OF THE GAME
Do you know who Pen Harrington is in Pride and Prejudice? How about Miss Smith—the one in Northanger Abbey? Or Lady Mary Grierson in Persuasion? Instead of calling out a letter and number, as in traditional BINGO, our caller provides the name of a character in the novel. As with traditional BINGO, if you have that character on your card you mark it. You might be shocked to learn how many characters Austen created and how many you might not know! Let me know if you would like to sign up for this fun afternoon of Austen bingo!
TUESDAY, MAY 4TH, 7PM: "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU" OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "DARTH DARCY: THE INFLUENCE OF JANE AUSTEN'S PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IN THE STAR WARS SEQUEL TRILOGY"
On that day, JASNA-MS member Wesley Saylor will discuss Pride & Prejudice in space! The classic regency romance apparently played a big role in the creation of this sequel sci-fi trilogy during the audition process, in the relationship between Rey & Kylo Ren, and even in the cinematography! Please join us on “Star Wars Day” (May 4) as JASNA-Mississippi member Wesley Saylor explores the connection between Jane Austen and one of the most beloved sci-fi franchises in the last century.
SUNDAY, JUNE 13TH, 3:00PM: JASNA TRAVELING LECTURER ROGER MOORE
Join us for our third collaboration with JASNA-Middle Tennessee. That afternoon we will host JASNA scholar Roger Moore, the current Traveling Lecturer for the Central Zone. More details on his presentation to come.
