Tea time in der Bibliothek: Celebrating Jane Austen

This year marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, and what better way to celebrate her timeless work than by picturing the writer herself as a friendly ghost, guiding us through the story of her 1818 novel „Northanger Abbey“, whispering her clever commentary from the past.
While we delve into selected passages of the text together, we will focus on how Austen masterfully parodies Gothic fiction, while also exploring the novel's themes of romance, coming-of-age, social critique, and the power of imagination.
Als Rahmenprogramm kann sich jede(r) beim englischen Tee bedienen.
