As a straight man it’s difficult to express just how little interest I have in Jane Austen (if you think you’re a straight man, but your eyes lit up at the headline, I’ve got some bad news for you).
But for our large readership of non-straight men it’s worth noting that the earlybird season tickets to the Canberra Jane Austen Festival run out on 25 January and with them the chance to save $55.
If you’re just dieing to know more about fashion, etiquette, cooking, bonnets, dance, games, and whatnot from the British Regency period then this is the gig for you. Also lots and lots of Austen.
