- Biografia breu
- Rebecca Dickson first encountered Jane Austen while in high school, when she was assigned to read Pride and Prejudice. She's been reading Austen's novels ever since. Jane Austen just might have inspired her to go on to college and eventually get a doctorate in English literature with a specialty in nineteenth-century writers. Though she shifted her focus to American authors, she is an avowed Anglophile and still a committed Austenite. She has published essays on Austen, Kate Chopin, and environmental issues, and she co-wrote with Frank Grady Surviving the Day : An American POW in Japan an account of the POW experience in the Pacific during the Second World War. When not reading and writing about Jane Austen, she is hiking (she leads trips into the Colorado backcountry for the Sierra Club), biking, gardening, knitting, traveling, or visiting Brazil. She also loves cars and other animals and is a committed environmentalist. She teaches at the University of Colorado and lives in Boulder. [from Jane Austen : An Illustrated Treasury (2008)]
