Explore Our Exhibition to relive “Emma Across Media” as if it was the opening day. Start by exploring the academic side of Austen’s novel; read academic interpretations of Emma, learn about Austen collector Alberta Burke, and study the psychology of book collecting. Afterward, head over to the adaptations. Here you can have a look at the numerous creative retellings of Emma, including novels and films. Finally, look through the various miscellaneous artifacts, including artwork, music, and more!
“Emma Across Media,” a Goucher College student exhibition, showcases Jane Austen’s Emma and various related media students explored throughout spring 2023’s LIT 266: Austen, Adaptations, & Archives course. Dr. Juliette Wells and the seven dedicated students used Special Collections resources and Dr. Wells’ personal teaching collection to unveil all things Emma.
Goucher is filled to the brim with Jane Austen- related websites. Take a look at the introduction to the Jane Austen Collection and the 2015 special exhibition “Emma in America.”
The Reading Room is a transformed version of this exhibition’s “Bring Emma Home” bookmarks. In the Reading Room, there are personalized recommendations, favorite chapters and quotes from each of the exhibition’s contributors arranged in chronological order, so you can feel like you are reading right along with us!
