Episode 6: Patchwork: A Graphic Biography of Jane Austen

In this episode, the Austen Pod Squad chats with author/artist Kate Evans about her graphic biography of Jane Austen which tells the story of Austen in a highly visual way that combines biography with the metaphor of a patchwork quilt as the central device to tell the story of Austen from birth onward against the backdrop of history and themes of colonialism, slavery, industrialization, and class in a book that is illustrated in a gentle color palette, embroidery, and patchwork motifs.
