Five of the six editors of the Broadview
edition (Canadian edition) of Jane Austen's novels have enthusiastically
replied "yes" to our invitation to participate in a panel
discussion entitled "Pains and Pleasures of Editing Jane
Austen". This will be a uniquely Canadian event. This event is scheduled for
Saturday noon during the conference.
The moderator
for this panel is:
| Anne
Giardini |

Anne Giardini’s first novel, The Sad Truth About
Happiness, was published by HarperCollins/Fourth Estate in Canada, the UK, the US,
and Australia in spring 2005. She has written and published many stories, as well as articles on ethics, and legal and other topics. She wrote a column for the National Post newspaper for several years. Anne and her mother Carol Shields presented a paper entitled “Martians in Jane Austen” at the JASNA 1996 conference in Richmond, VA.
Anne practices law in Vancouver, where she lives with her husband and three school age children. She is at work on her second novel,
Nicolo Piccolo, which, like Emma, has the getting and giving of advice as its theme.
