Jane Austen featured on Penguin's multimedia site
June 19, 2009
Penguin has launched a really cool new multimedia site called “From the Publisher’s Office” featuring original audio and video programming. The Radio Room has launched in fine style with two Austen-related programs: a video interview of Austen scholar Juliette Wells talking about “Austenmania, what it means to be a Janeite, etiquette in Austen’s time, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” Also, Stephen Morrison, associate publisher and editor in chief of Penguin Books, launches his First Pages program with an examination of the opening of P&P. We haven’t had a chance to check it all out yet, but it looks great.

I found the interview interesting. Not much new, but as a sort of introduction it was nice. The interviewer made me understand why some spell Austen’s name Austin, but other than that it was fine.
