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/
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.
