Co-curators Dale Stinchcomb and Juliette Wells show some of their favorite letters by Jane Austen in the exhibition A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250.
This exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum immerses viewers in the inspiring story of Jane Austen’s authorship and her gradual rise to international fame. Beginning as a teenager, Austen cultivated her imaginative powers and her ambition to publish. Encouraged by her family, especially her father and her sister Cassandra, she persevered through years of uncertainty.
