London Branch event

230 pm A talk by Azar Hussein entitled “Jane Austen Faints: A new perspective on an old story”

In December 1800, when Jane Austen was told that the Austens were leaving Steventon and moving to Bath, she fainted. But did she? This talk reassesses the evidence and comes to a perhaps surprising conclusion. 

Azar Hussain is an independent researcher based in London. His research focuses on the eighteenth century and specifically Jane Austen. His work has appeared in Notes & Queries, Persuasions, Persuasions On-Line, and the Jane Austen Society Annual Report.

Followed by a Q & A session and complimentary tea, coffee and cakes
