JASNA NorCal presents“The Forgotten Tale of Doctor Syntax, the Regency’s Most Popular Fictional Character” – In person and virtual event
The Regency’s favorite travelling clergyman has reached the Bay Area! Join us in the Terrace Room at Margaret-Jacks Hall on Stanford Campus (or online) for a talk on what was, by some measures, the most popular poem of Austen’s day, The Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque (1812). JASNA NorCal member Ben Wiebracht and three of his students, co-winners of the 2024 JASNA New Voices Award, will share key insights from their semester-long project on Doctor Syntax.
