Janeite Social Calendar

Upcoming programs are listed in the calendar below.

If you feel that “There is a monstrous deal of stupid quizzing, & common-place nonsense talked, but scarcely any wit,” then we encourage you to attend any or all of these events on our Janeite Social Calendar, for “It is such a happiness when good people get together — and they always do.”

From lectures to teas to dances to discussions to Jane’s birthday celebration, you’re sure to enjoy yourself in the company of other Janeites. Don’t fret should you find yourself required to go alone because “from the whole she deduced this useful lesson, that to go previously engaged to a ball, does not necessarily increase either the dignity or enjoyment of a young lady.”

We look forward to seeing you soon!

      We meet four times per year. Our schedule for the remaining 2013 is a public meeting on Sept. 14 and a members birthday celebration on Dec. 14. We announce the new calendar on that date.
