Event
The Love and Lore of the Seaside in Jane Austens Time
Award-winning novelist Julie Klassen will present highlights from her research into English seaside resorts and bathing customs of the Regency era: the popularity of resort towns and their social activities, bathing machines, beliefs about the medicinal value of sea bathingand even the drinking of sea water! This research provides the framework for The Sisters of Sea View, book one in the On Devonshire Shores series, set in Sidmouth, Devon. Julie will also describe the interesting events surrounding the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Kent and their baby daughter (the future Queen Victoria) who appear in book two, A Winter By the Sea. Reading the books would be helpful but is entirely optional. Talk followed by Q & A.
