Online Events Calendar
One of the (few) bright spots of the pandemic is the number of virtual programs — talks, exhibits, tours, discussions, and more — available online, removing the requirement of in-person attendance. The Jane Austen/Regency world has a growing number of online events of interest to our community. We’ve set up this Online Event Calendar to help you find some of them. Please check the listings and be sure to convert the event times (which are local to the organizers) to your location. To submit an event for the calendar, email news@jasnanorcal.org Note: JASNA regional events are also listed on the organization’s web site: http://jasna.org/conferences-events/

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.
