I'm not involved in this, just got the e-mail about it, but thought it might be of interest to some of you.
The website http://danceweavers.ca/janeausten.html has a link partway down called A Weekend with Jane Austen which is a pdf - didn't want to use that directly in case the list might bounce it. Christine ------------- The theme for April 19-21st overall will be Love and Technology, so many of the planned activities will connect to that theme in some way. Many elements of the progamme are already in place, but more will be added soon. A few highlights: Print technology in the time of Austen (Mackenzie House Museum Print Shop) Print: the dawning of celebrity culture and the popular press "Beyond Jack Tar and Polly Portsmouth: Relationships at Sea" by naval historian Victor Suthren, organizer of last year's Sailors on the Lakes 1812 bicentennial launch Lecture on Jane Austen by Professor Robert Morrison, back by popular demand Millinery and the art of flirting Etiquette, class, and the schooling of the body in Regency England Marriage and the courtesans - a tangled web Regency Fashion Show by Charlene Roberts Georgian Food & Historical Sites & Book Table and much more! Keep tuned for regular updates. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
