King's College, London
Emma Newport is running a three week summer course at King’s College London, exploring Austen’s England as well as her place in the literary pantheon. It is open to all who wish to study Austen in an academic environment at a Russell Group university in England.
Studying Austen in London gives students access to an extensive range of original resources held at the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery and others. The course will include visits to a range of locations with cultural and historical relevance to Austen, including trips to Bath and Alton and a guided walk tracing Regency London. Throughout the course, there will be film screenings of all six major novels when we will examine in depth Austen’s heroes and villains and the England in which they lived.

Thank you, Ellen. Is the Horncastle Regency Festival a yearly event? It looks deliciously exciting!
I attended the annual JA Festival in Bath last September; I highly recommend it to all JA fans.
Darn it, not enough vacation! If Ms. Newport is reading, please make it two weeks. American businesses are stingy with their vacation time. :)
This sounds SO tempting!
I couldn’t help noticing that the course start date is 2/7/12. That date has already passed and isn’t during the summer so I don’t understand the real start date. There was a mistake in the course start day, I’m assuming? I would be really interested to know about this.
In UK (and I believe most countries around the world), the day is first entered, then month and at the end year. So the course it is indeed during summer, starting 2 July, 2012. In Mexico we have the same ordering.
