Claire
Harman was in publishing and has taught English and Creative Writing
at various universities. She is the author of some excellent books
including ones on the unfairly overlooked Fanny Burney and Sylvia
Townsend Warner. She is also the author of a book about the work
of Jane Austen - how it has been received and viewed, the uses to
which it has been put and its lasting influence - rather than just
a biography. It was excellently reviewed and Radio 4's Book of the
Week. As we have our first-ever trip (to Chawton) later in the year
this should be of particular relevance! |
