As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen, the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema will host a Jane Austen Film Seminar with Dr. Michael Kramp, Professor of English at Lehigh University, on Saturday, September 27. This seminar will treat the history, global reach, and ongoing allure of Austen’s stories on screen. We will consider the various ways in which Austen’s novels and ideas have been adapted and deployed and explore the different impacts of her narratives around the world.
