Reading Group: Evelina

September 29 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm EDT

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!

A monthly, in-person book club for those interested in Jane Austen. We have made our way through her major works together and will generally cycle through these types of works moving forward:

-read a work by Jane Austen (eg. re-reading her novels from new perspectives, letters, and juvenilia)
-read a book about Jane Austen (biographies, literary criticism, etc.)
-read a work Jane Austen read herself (works by Walter Scott, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Mary Wollstonecraft, etc.)
-read a work by someone who read/was influenced by Jane Austen (works by the Brontes, George Eliot, Mary Shelley, Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Virginia Woolf, etc.)
-read a work of popular culture inspired by Jane Austen (sequels written by Jane Austen’s distant relative, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife, etc.)

We will also meet to watch film adaptations, and enjoy other events connected to Jane Austen and the Regency period.

Maryland Region member, Kiera Boyle-Toledo, leads this discussion group.  Anyone is welcome to join.  Please visit the Meetup page to join the group and for more details https://www.meetup.com/i-declare-after-all-there-is-no-enjoyment-like-reading/
