The Jane Austen Reading Group

Please note: Due to an instructor conflict, the dates of this class have changed slightly and one or two of the sessions may be held on Zoom.

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth through lively discussion of two of her beloved novels, Emma and Northanger Abbey. Meet unforgettable characters, examine the themes and social observations that continue to resonate today, and consider how Austen’s life in the Georgian era shaped the stories she created. Join fellow readers in appreciating the wit, insight, and enduring appeal of one of literature’s most cherished authors.

Readers should arrive to the first class having read up to chapter 6 of Emma.
