HIATUS ENCORE: Jane and Anna Maria Porter with Devoney Looser
Manage episode 436424547 series 2805882
HIATUS ENCORE: Sisters Jane and Anna Maria Porters’ books took Regency-era England by storm just a few years ahead of Jane Austen, and their lives were chock-full of fascinating (and insufferable) characters, intriguing romantic escapades, event-filled interludes at the homes of wealthy acquaintances and desperate gambits to stay one step ahead of the poverty line. Joining us is ASU Regents Professor of English, Devoney Looser, whose new book is Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontes. Kirkus Reviews calls it “a triumph of literary detective work.”
Discussed in this episode:
Artless Tales by Anna Maria Porter
Thaddeus of Warsaw by Jane Porter
The Scottish Chiefs by Jane Porter
The Hungarian Brothers by Anna Maria Porter
“The End of the English Major” (The New Yorker, 2/27/2023)
