The central consciousness of all of Austen's novels is a woman, and the reader's perception of the fictional world Austen creates is inevitably guided by that consciousness. These talks will attempt to sidestep the influence of this powerful figure, and to explore from a different angle the variety of men that Austen has created--fathers and sons, brothers, cousins, lovers, clergymen, villains, servants. Consideration will be given to filmed adaptations of the novels as well as to the written texts.

Time travel to the 18th century and experience a day in London through the words of Jonathan Swift ("Description of the Morning" and "Description of a City Shower") and the engravings of William Hogarth ("Four Times of the Day"). No doubt you will be happy to return to 21st-century convenience (not to mention hygiene) but you will also see why Swift and Hogarth's contemporary Samuel Johnson would say: "He who is tired of London is tired of life!" It was (and remains) a vibrant, varied place!
