May be an image of 2 people and text that says 'JASNA-SC January 27, 2-4 pm Inger Brodey "Hastening Together to Perfect Felicity, How Are Austen's Anyway?" Bishop Gadsden Brodey's forthcoming book tries to untangle the purpose behind Austen's oddly rushed This question that many scholars noted; however, few have given Austen credit for having chosen these endings deliberately for her own purposes. Brodey attempts answer this puzzle drawing evidence rom Austen opus as a whole, well from the habits of authors whom Austen knew.
