Sharmini Kumar – Austen Con

Uncategorized

A fantastic mix of live and online events, Saturday the
6th of November 2021 heralds the greatly anticipated
fourth annual Austen Con; a much-loved celebration and
exploration of all things Jane Austen.
One of England’s most beloved novelists, Jane Austen was born in 1775 and wrote from a young age, initially to
amuse her family. Her six major novels, of which Pride and Prejudice is probably the best known, are set amongst
the British landed gentry and lauded worldwide for their wit, romance, and social commentary.
Running in the beautiful surrounds on Melbourne’s Abbotsford Convent, this year lucky ticket holders can partake
in activities that range from crafting, a speed dating game and dancing, an escape room, the art of letter writing
and lively discussions on an array of Austen inspired topics with a wonderful mix of guest presenters and expert
enthusiasts.
