JASNA Central and Western NY is delighted to present our first Buffalo area meeting. If you live in the Buffalo area and love Jane Austen's work, please join us for coffee and an engaging opportunity to talk about Sense and Sensibility. As Anne Elliot said in Persuasion, "My idea of good company, Mr. Elliot, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation..." All you need is an interest in Jane Austen's work, and you will find good company. The coffee is optional.
Susan Harris-Gamard is a writer and avid traveler living in Clarence, NY. A JASNA member since 2008, she has had the privilege to attend many AGMs, including last year’s in Victoria. Her love for Austen began at university in 1996 while taking a course called “Gothic Women’s Fiction” taught by Austen Scholar Deidre Shauna Lynch. After returning to graduate school, Susan decided to focus on Jane Austen and completed a Master’s thesis in 2013 entitled “Marianne’s Narrow Escape: Redeeming Female Ruin, Sensibility, and the English Landscape through the Picturesque.” As your new co-regional coordinator, she looks forward to future sojourns into Austen’s novels through a monthly book discussion group held in Buffalo and many future events yet to come.
