Jane Austen Movie Night: “Austenland”

Portland Center Stage 128 NW 11th Avenue, Portland, OR, United States

In honor of our fresh and bold adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, we're screening the 2013 romantic comedy film Austenland. Based on Shannon Hale's 2007 novel of the same name, it stars Keri Russell as Jane, a single thirty-something obsessed with Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice, who travels to a British resort called Austenland, a British theme resort where guests immerse themselves in a romantic fantasy worthy of Austen herself. However, because Jane's limited funds do not allow as many privileges as other guests, her chance at a fling with her very own Mr. Darcy may be limited as well.

Jane Austen’s Shadow Stories – A Conversation with Arnie Perlstein

Mother Foucault's Bookshop 523 SE Morrison St, Portland, OR, United States

Join us on Thursday, January 24 at 7 pm for a conversation with Arnie Perlstein. Arnie is a local independent literary scholar/sleuth specializing in what he calls Jane Austen’s (and Shakespeare’s) “shadow stories.” He claims that each Austen novel has a second, submerged, parallel fictional world, which subverts its romantic “overt story.” After an intro to his “shadow story” theory, Arnie will zero in on Austen’s most famous and popular novel, Pride & Prejudice. He’ll challenge the universally acknowledged “truth” that Mr. Darcy sincerely reforms after Elizabeth Bennet rejects his sexist first proposal; and, along the way, he’ll suggest that Jane Austen herself was a gender-fluid, radical feminist, who, if she lived today, would be in the MeToo and LGBT vanguard!

Like one does.
