Event description
Waverley library welcomes you to attend this celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday.
Susannah Fullerton is Sydney's most highly regarded literary historian and lecturer.
The 6 most polished, controlled and elegant social comedies to be found in English Literature were written by a woman whose personal life was unexciting and confined. Jane Austen’s cool judgment, ironic detachment and her genius gave her novels depth and charm and made them some of the most popular novels ever!
Susannah Fullerton, President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia and author of several books about Jane Austen, shares her passion for Austen’s novels and her interest in her life and times. Illustrations bring the Regency world to life and readings will remind audiences just how funny Jane Austen can be.
