Autumn with Austen: “Persuasion” with Dr. Andrea Gazzaniga
Thursday, September 26, 2024
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us at the Cold Spring branch as we discuss the classics! This month, learn all about Jane Austen’s Persuasion.
Similar to last year’s Shaking Up Shakespeare series, Autumn with Austen is a short program series taking place at the Cold Spring branch, where we will Shake Up the ways in which you view this piece of classic literature. Austen’s works are timeless and have been the inspiration for many of our favorite modern-day tales. Join us each month as we explore Austen’s works through a classroom-style discussion, theatrical workshop, and a Victorian-era tea party!
This month, Northern Kentucky University’s Dr. Andrea Gazzaniga joins us for a lecture and discussion on Persuasion. The first 15 registrants will receive a free copy of the book to keep, so sign up to reserve your spot now!
