AFTERNOON TEA WITH JANE AUSTEN with Barbara Summerbell

Tuesday 15 Jul 2008, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Within Jane Austen’s Georgian world, hospitality was the framework which fuelled and oiled all social relationships. 

Social occasions demanded attention to consumer items, be they fashionable clothing, fine china or a Pembroke table. 

Join Barbara Summerbell in a conversation to explore the decorative arts within Jane Austen’s writings.   

Barbara Summerbell, a Melbourne University graduate in literature and history, has researched the Regency world with particular reference to the nuances related to consumerism in Jane Austen’s writings.
