10th August : PROF. DAVID MEDALIE ( Prof : Dept of English at University of Pretoria )

Title : Jane Austen Revisited

There is renewed interest in Jane Austen, thanks to the recent films screened. Jane’s observations of society in Regency England, her irony and humour and quotable quotes, for example “Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way” are absolutely fascinating. Prof Medalie will re-ignite our enthusiasm for this remarkable authoress
