Jane Austen's house - a new exhibition - virtual event

Picture
Since the Covid pandemic, many organisations have started to schedule virtual events enabling a wider audience to participate on-line. I’ve attended numerous events organised by Jane Austen’s house in Chawton and last night was able to view the latest exhibition called ‘Jane Austen and the art of writing’. 

It was an hour long talk for the price of £6.50 – which I think is a bargain. At one point an audience of 60 people, from across the globe, were connected and listening to the talk – which was certainly informative and entertaining. 

The curator led us step by step through the latest exhibition, explaining each item in detail and sharing the relevance to Austen’s work. We saw booklets of paper that Austen used for her hand-written manuscripts, additional pages pinned inside as a means of editing her draft but the piece de résistance for me was the first editions of all six of her books displayed together – something for me to look forward to seeing on my next real-life visit. 
​

In addition to the treasured objects shown, it’s the snippets of information, the insight into Austen’s home and ultimately, her imagination that fascinates me. There’s numerous events comping up and many more planned for next year,
