The Eastern Regional Library Show 6th May 2009
Library staff members Lesley Conway and Pia Butcher run a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.
On 6th May show
There's always something new to write about Jane Austen. One of the latest is Jane's fame by Claire Harman. This is not a conventional autobiography, but about how the novels which were considered modest and genteel, not in great demand during the nineteenth century, have been revisited and reassessed in the twentieth century and become enduringly popular. The novels were not published under her name, but by 'A Lady', and were considered "women's reading" until her nephew published A memoir of Jane Austen : and other family recollections in 1870. From that time interest has grown, critics and academics were converted, in the 1970's she was claimed by the feminist movement, and from the 1980's many television and film adaptations have been made. Many of these are on DVD in our collection, or available from other libraries. Lyn mentioned that one of the most recent fiction attempts to continue the story of some of our favourite characters is the Pride and Prejudice and the Zombies. Not my cup of tea, but there are many other options including The Jane Austen Bookclub, the series by Stephanie Barron which features Jane as a detective and Darcy and Elizabeth : nights and days at Pemberley by Linda Berdoll.

The second book Lyn reviewed today was A winter's tale by Trisha Ashley, which is one of my favourite types of relaxing reading. An English woman in her mid 40's inherits an old haunted house deep in the country, and discovers a new purpose to her life, lots of quirky local characters, and several suitors, including Seth the brooding gardener. The author has a lot of fun with references to other novels, like Cold Comfort Farm, which makes this an ideal read for a chilly winter afternoon, by the fire or the heater.
Music today was from the soundtrack of the movie The songcatcher, which is available on CD, DVD and as a novel.
