Jane Austen was a wide and voracious reader all her life, enjoying both pulp fiction and high-end literature alike.Many of the books she most enjoyed were by women who were both fashionable and popular in their day, but who are largely overlooked today.
In this lively session, actors Hollie Hales and Charlotte Warner will present readings by some of these inspiring women – from Frances Burney and Maria Edgeworth to Charlotte Smith and Ann Radcliffe.
Through these works we’ll enjoy some of the works that inspired Jane’s own writing, and her literary journey.
After the performance, visit our exhibition ‘Jane Austen and the Art of Writing’ to see some of the works on display.
