Talk: The Worlds of Jane Austen with Helena Kelly

Join bestselling author Helena Kelly for a delightful dip into her new book, The Worlds of Jane Austen – a lively and accessible guide that explores the people, politics and places that shaped Jane Austen’s life and work.

In this lively talk, Helena steps away from the quiet world of country houses and tea parties that Jane Austen is often associated with to reveal stories of revolution, war and major social change that she lived through, and that can be seen in her sharp, observant fiction.

Tickets: £15

This event is part of the Pride and Prejudice Festival at Jane Austen's House, 24-28 January 2026
