What we’re about
We are a monthly, in-person book club for those interested in Jane Austen. We also meet regularly for film screenings, afternoon teas, supper and card nights, museum visits, viewing Jane Austen-related theater and music events, etc. Some of these are shared via our Whatsapp group to preserve group member privacy. You will be invited to the Whatsapp after you attend your first event. We welcome new members!
We have read all of Jane Austen's works! Our future readings may include some of the following and will be based on group member feedback:
-re-read a work by Jane Austen (eg. her novels, letters, and juvenilia), possibly comparing to another work or reading from a different point of view
-read a book about Jane Austen (biographies, literary criticism, etc.)
-read a work Jane Austen read herself (works by Walter Scott, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Mary Wollstonecraft, etc.)
-read a work by someone who read Jane Austen (works by the Brontes, George Eliot, Mary Shelley, Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Virginia Woolf, etc.)
-read a work of popular culture inspired by Jane Austen (sequels written by Jane Austen's distant relative, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife, etc.)
-read other items of interest to group members, especially if relevant to feminism or written by female-identified authors (Wide Sargasso Sea, etc.)
