Clergy in the novels of Jane Austen
February 20, 2021 @ 2:00 pm
To speak to us at this event, we are delighted to welcome our member David Richardson who will give a talk on clergy in the novels of Jane Austen. David will speak about the part that clergy play in the novels written by the daughter of a parson, and sister to two others. He will focus on five in particular: ‘the sybarite, the suitors and the spouses’.He offers two questions that you might like to think about in advance:
●How many Austen heroines fall in love with a clergyman? (Clue: remember the advice from schooldays – read the question carefully.)
●Who are the two best-known clergymen in English fiction? (Clue: one is an Austen character; the other is not.)
This event will be free of charge. Please e-mail north@jasoc.org.uk to register interest and receive ID and passcode.
