December 16 & 18, 2025: Jane Austen - 250-year anniversary events
The library of the English Department is organizing two events to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birthday:
As you know, Jane Austen was born on 16th December 1775 and whether you are a great fan of her novels or are interested in how her work is still being adapted widely today, you will find some stimulating books, films, graphic novels and other material in our upcoming exhibition.
Please join us in the library for the exhibition opening (PDF, 707 KB) exactly 250 years after Austen's birth, browse the exhibition and enjoy a cup of tea and some sweet treats (Tue, 16th Dec, 3-5 pm).
The exhibition opening forms part of the UB advent calendar events.
To round off the anniversary week and to get some relaxation before the final run-up to Christmas, come and watch the 2008 BBC miniseries adaptation of Sense and Sensibility (PDF, 619 KB) in the library on Thursday night (18th Dec, 5.30-8.30 pm).
All are welcome!
