Drinks and Dinner with Jane Austen
Welcome
back from break! A few people from the Eighteenth-Century Reading Group
and the Nineteenth-Century/Victorian Reading Group have decided to
co-host three casual meetings over the course of January and
February---we're calling it "Dinner and Drinks with
Jane Austen." We will be reading and discussing Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion,
and some of the most crucial (and some of the most recent) Austen
criticism across several delicious Bloomington dining and drinking
locations. You need not be a specialist
in C18 or C19 British literature to attend! And, of course, if you are
in need of transport to any of the events, you may contact me at
raseiler@indiana.edu and I will personally send over a phaeton or
barouche for your convenience.
The dates and locations are below--while most of the time our respective reading groups do not require RSVPs, we are hosting these events at restaurants, so please contact me (again at raseiler@indiana.edu) at least 24 hours prior to the event so I can have a decent estimate of the headcount for reservations. Reminders will be sent out closer to the dates!
Dinner with Austen: Sense and Sensibility
Friday, January 24th @ Farm
Drinks, ordering, and casual chatter begin at 6 p.m. Discussion goes from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Dinner with Austen: Persuasion
Friday, February 7th @ Uptown
Drinks, ordering, and casual chatter begin at 6 p.m. Discussion goes from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Group postponed until next semester
Hello everyone,
Due to low-turnout and end of the semester craziness, we will be postponing the group until next semester. At that time, we will discuss a new reading schedule. Best of luck with final papers, exam prep, and/or grading!

New group meeting time!
Hi everyone!
It looks like Tues is no longer convenient for everyone. Rachel and I have agreed that Thursdays might be better. Let's meet Thursday, November 14 at 5:00 pm at the Pourhouse. We'll talk about Journal & what we want to read next. Happy Halloween!

If fate does not yet again take the wheel, then Journal for next Tuesday
Hello everyone!
Due to a scheduling error, I am just now learning that I have a mandatory meeting to attend. Rachel & I decided to just postpone for next week, when I am sure there will be a tornado or hurricane or some other divine interference. Perhaps a plague. As long as locusts do not descend upon our town, we will meet next Tuesday, October 22 at 5:00 pm at the Pour House. See you then!

Journal for this Tuesday
Hi everyone!
We will finally be reading Journal of the Plague Year for this Tuesday's meeting. Please read as much or as little as you have time for. Any comments will no doubt be helpful to Rachel, who is including a chapter on this text in her dissertation. We look forward to seeing you 5:00 pm Tuesday at the Pour House on Kirkwood!
