Articles by Angela appear in the Jane Austen Society UK Reports and in other publications; her chapter Jane Austen and the Theatre features in the Edinburgh University Press’s forthcoming Jane Austen and the Arts.
Her latest talk is JANE AUSTEN AND LONDON:
In a letter from London, the twenty-year-old Jane writes “Here I am once more in this scene of Dissipation & vice, and I begin already to find my Morals corrupted.”
This lively presentation, illustrated with many images, reveals how Jane’s youthful perception of London changed and developed over the years, bringing her happiness, and profoundly influencing her writing and her life experience.
