Description
Head of the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford, Professor Karen O’Brien, will be giving a lecture on Thursday 7 September in Hong Kong, on the theme of Jane Austen and the English Art of Hospitality. In the lecture Professor O’Brien will explain the conventions and etiquette of visits in Austen’s time, and explore the ways in which being a courteous and good guest and host are fundamental to understanding Austen’s conception of social order and individual moral behaviour. For Austen, the Art of Hospitality is a fundamental part of the art of living well, and one from which we can all learn today.
