Tonight, right after #engchat, Figment has a special pre-Valentine's Day treat for lit lovers: An hourlong live chat with three esteemed YA authors, who will discuss the everlasting appeal of English literature’s most beloved lady: the incredible, inimitable Jane Austen.
Why do we keep coming back to Austen again and again? How is it that her heroines, created 200 years ago, still feel fresh enough to inspire thoroughly modern characters like Bridget Jones andClueless’ Cher? Why are young people still drawn to these stories, these characters, and these situations?
At 8 p.m. ET on Monday, February 13, visit Figment to join Shannon Hale (Midnight in Austenland, Princess Academy), Elizabeth Eulberg (Prom and Prejudice, Take a Bow), and E. Lockhart (The Boyfriend List, National Book Award finalist The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks) to discuss all these questions and more.
In the second half of the hour, the authors will take questions from readers.
