About the event

Drawing Room Talk: Jane Austen and Needlework
‘How do you like my trimming?’: Accessories, Making and Jane Austen’s Novels

We are delighted to welcome acclaimed Austen scholar Professor Jennie Batchelor for a fascinating and intimate evening talk in the Drawing Room of Jane Austen’s House, examining the needlework that Jane Austen practiced in the home and the important role that stitched items and embroidered accessories play in her novels.

Jennie Batchelor is an academic, author and speaker. She is Head of Department and Professor of Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Studies at the University of York, and Patron of the Kent branch of the Jane Austen Society. She has written and edited several books on women's writing, eighteenth-century dress and early women's magazines, including the perennial favourite Jane Austen Embroidery.

This event will be filmed for an online audience.

After the talk, join us for drinks in the Historic Kitchen and raise a glass to our favourite authoress!
