On Saturday 27 May 2023, we will be returning to Jane Austen’s novels with a ‘Sense and Sensibility’ Study Afternoon. Please join us for a fun and informative afternoon to explore Austen’s first published novel and discuss the text, themes, characters, and its importance in the Austen canon.

The afternoon will include talks from a variety of speakers about aspects of novel including a presentation and discussion about who is the real heroine of the novel. There will also be interactive activities including a quiz during the course of the afternoon. We recommend you read or re-read the novel before the meeting so it’s fresh in your mind.

Afternoon tea will follow the end of the formal program and any contributions are welcome as usual.

We look forward to seeing our members there.
