Lifelong Learning Lecture: Jane Austen and the Marriage Plot

Guest Speaker: Dr. Helen Heineman, President Emerita, Framingham State University

Jane Austen is the quintessential author of happy endings. Her novels provide love and mutual respect, but she also weaves a resistance to marriage into the fabric of her novels, which juxtapose romantic happiness and mutual fulfillment. This lecture covers aspects of Jane Austen‘s life and her prevailing interest in the marriage plot, which in her life, was always out of reach.
