About this event
Annie Guest, author of DESIGN FOR YOUR MIND, explores Jane Austen's use of architecture, interior design, and geography to tell us about her characters and the worlds they inhabit. We'll focus on Austen's treatment of houses in three novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion. We'll also look at how the set design in these novels' treatments in film capture Jane Austen's vision.
