Join us at Homewood Library for our Annual Planning with light refreshments.
October 11, 2025
Ellen Seltz will be presenting a lovely program on Title, Rank and Precedence in Austen's time.
Social standing and social expectations are significant factors in the lives of Austen's characters - and her original readers - but the nuances of rank and protocol are often vague to a modern audience. In this presentation, we'll use media, games, and excerpts from Austen's books to explore the history and terminology of the peerage, as well as how formal and informal hierarchies affect her characters' relationships.
Location: Homewood Library in the round auditorium at 10 am.
Refreshments to share are always welcome!
