JASNA NorCal presents James Nagle, “Ending the Regency Marriage” – a virtual presentation
March 21 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm PDT
Jane Austen’s writings focus on forming the Regency marriage, from the courtship to the proposal. Unfortunately, ending the Regency marriage was also a fact of life (hello, Mr. Rushworth!). In Jane’s time there was no such thing as a no-fault divorce; instead, the process was long, complicated, very expensive, and engendered a great deal of societal disapproval. In this Zoom presentation, James Nagle will explain the ins and outs of this laborious process in the context of Austen’s works and the broader Regency period.
James Nagle is a semi-retired lawyer and member of JASNA’s Puget Sound region. He is the former secretary of JASNA and has spoken at numerous AGMs and to various regions. We’re looking forward to welcoming him virtually in March and hope that you’ll join us!
