How "happy" are the endings of Jane Austen’s novels? In this episode we chat with Professor Inger Brodey about Austen’s endings: what she includes, what she leaves out, her unique mix of romance and satire, and her technique of “zooming out” that often leaves readers wanting more. Drawing from her forthcoming book, Jane Austen and the Price of Happiness, Inger also shares her thoughts on why Austen ended her novels as she did, her use of various forms of happiness, and how her endings differ from those of other authors she read.Podcast Host: Breckyn WoodTranscript and show notes: https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep4You can learn more about Inger Brodey on her website: https://ingerbrodey.comVisit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TwitterEmail: [email protected]
