Keep Calm & Read Jane Austen

History Literature Lecture

What’s Happening?

Her contemporaries paid scant attention to her; Victorians found her passionless and parochial. Yet in the 21st Century, an age where seemingly “anything goes,” the reserve and restraint, modesty and manners of Austen’s characters continue to appeal to many readers. Presented by professional historian and educator Kathy Wilson, this program looks at her world in an attempt to learn more about Jane Austen and understand not only what influenced her writing, but also why we still love her books 200 years later.
