JANE AUSTEN & THE COUNTRY HOUSE with Linda Young

Wednesday 15 Sep 2010, 10:15 AM – 11:45 AM

Jane was, like Elizabeth Bennett, a gentleman’s daughter – though poor, she was sufficiently genteel to have the entrée to a number of great families and their stately homes.  This talk traces some of her visits and her perceptions of fine houses, the people who inhabited them and the style in which they lived.

Dr Linda Young is a Senior Lecturer & Course Director in Cultural Heritage & Museum Studies at Deakin University.
