2025 marks Jane Austen's 250th birth anniversary. In a year of events to reflect on the life, times and legacy of this great English novelist the British Association for Local History and partners are organising a study day in Southampton, May 2025. This is firstly a note of the upcoming event, with fuller details to be shared in due course.
A key theme of the study day will be the wider world of print in which Austen wrote and published. The organisers are seeking expressions of interest from a speaker, or two, who may be interested and able to talk to this theme. Please contact Joe for more information: joe.saunders@york.ac.uk
