Illustrated talk on the life and times of the literary great

Acclaimed historian Lucy Worsley leads us into the life of one of English literature's most cherished figures.

A live and beautifully illustrated talk in which Lucy invites audiences to step into the world of Jane Austen - the beloved author of timeless classics such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion.

Through the houses, places and possessions which mattered to her, Lucy takes a fascinating look at what home meant to Jane and to the women like her who populate her novels. Austen famously lived a 'life without incident', but with new research and insights Lucy reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who, far from being a lonely spinster, had at least five marriage prospects but refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.
