Austen Social Scene
On Saturday, March 3rd, our member Victoria Hinshaw and her guest and fellow presenter Susan Forgue delighted the group with their lecture on “London High Society in Jane Austen’s Novels.” The ladies have given this presentation at an AGM and several other events. The members enjoyed learning more about the social customs of Austen’s era, and both presenters gracefully responded to a variety of questions from the audience.
Much to discuss
Sue and Vicky also provided an interactive discussion session, where the members could vote on whether various Austen characters should be admitted to Almack’s. Our two presenters also gave out some beautiful mementos of their presentation: our very own Almack’s card!
