Jane Austen authority and retired Dawson prof publishes first book
February 26th, 2026
To say retired Dawson English teacher Elaine Bander has had an almost lifelong love affair with 18th聽and 19th聽century novels is no exaggeration. Ironically, she avoided Jane Austen novels until her third year of university at McGill. Then she read Emma for a course and was hooked. She moved onto other novels, letters, and fragments.
Since that time, she has made her way to becoming a premiere Jane Austen authority, presenting and attending conferences at Jane Austen gatherings near and far. And now, her first book, Reading with Jane Austen, a labour of love, has been published by Bucknell University聽Press for release on March 10.
