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/

The Tea Things of Jane Austen
November 17, 2020 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CST
An interactive discussion with Bruce Richardson, the owner of Kentucky’s Elmwood Inn Fine Teas and the author of 14 books on tea, including A Social History of Tea and Tea & Etiquette. Throughout her novels, Jane Austen was fond of using the term “tea things” as she set the scene in a fine Sussex parlor or the formal Assembly Rooms of Bath. TeaTime contributing editor Bruce Richardson delights his global audiences by sharing what those tea things were and how manners played a significant role in Georgian society.
