LA DIVINA JANE AUSTEN conversazione di Liliana Rampello, in dialogo con Cecilia Mutti

October 28, 2025 THE DIVINE JANE AUSTEN Conversation by Liliana Rampello, editor of the Jane Austen volumes "Novels and Other Writings" and "Unfinished Novels," Meridiani Mondadori, 2024-2025, in conversation with Cecilia Mutti From Nabokov to Harold Bloom, from George Eliot to Virginia Woolf, from W.H. Auden to Ian McEwan, the array of writers and critics who have paid at least one tribute to Jane Austen is vast. And even more surprising is the fact that millions of people around the world continue to read the novels of this writer, born 250 years ago and raised in a small English rectory, with little experience of the world, whose works, for their lightness, complexity, and stylistic perfection, have been compared to the compositions of her contemporary Mozart. Liliana Rampello, editor of the two volumes of Meridiani dedicated to Jane Austen's Novels and Other Writings, with new translations by Susanna Basso, and of the "Meridianino" Unfinished Novels, will discuss the writer's works and life, demonstrating how every detail of Jane Austen's life is itself a novel. There are inescapable connections between life and novel.
