‘What’s your favorite fandom?’ The lasting legacy of Jane Austen's literature

Fan Effect

Producer KellieAnn is excited to host a first episode of a series exploring, “What’s your favorite fandom?” Church News’ Reporter Mary Richards and KSL Newsradio’s Heather Kelly join to discuss the lasting literary legacy of Jane Austen. Together, they explore why the six novels by Austen have resonated through the ages, the best-and-worst movie and television interpretations, historical and biographic context, the Regency Era popularity (particularly in Utah with Old Glory Historical Dance and the Utah Regency Society), and, notably how to get into the world crafted by Austen. *Warning: There is some audio distortion in this episode due to a recording software error.*
