THE ANVILRenowned historian Lucy Worsley leads us into the life of one of English literature's most cherished figures, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the author's birth.
For these live, beautifully-illustrated talks, Lucy invites audiences to step into the world of Jane Austen, the beloved author of illimitable works such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion.
Through the houses, places, and possessions which mattered to her, Lucy takes a fascinating look at what home meant to Jane, and to the women like her who populate her novels. Austen famously lived a 'life without incident', but with new research and insights, Lucy reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who, far from being a lonely spinster, in fact had at least five marriage prospects, but in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged" that this is an event not to be missed!
Suitable for: ages 14 and over
