Spanning the long eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries, the Fellows\u2019 research studies a range of women\u2019s literature, politics, and history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fellows will discuss their experiences working in the Chawton House Library, alongside their research findings. These range from the Scottish Gothic to conduct literature and the Bront\u00ebs, female political activism to sexual precarity at the seaside in Austen\u2019s novels, via Romantic-period publishing practices, such as the subscription list and prolific publishers like the Minerva Press. They will also share their authentic Regency experiences living in Chawton House itself, famed for its associations with the Austen family and prime location in Chawton village, close to Austen\u2019s cottage where she wrote and revised her six novels. The Fellows will be joined by Dr Kim Simpson who will share the house\u2019s history and details of Chawton House\u2019s legacy as a research centre for women\u2019s writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We anticipate lively conversation and welcome both general and academic audiences; please come along all of you who are interested in Romanticism, women\u2019s literature, Jane Austen and historic houses! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speakers: Emma Butler, Bethan Elliott, Rebecca Hamilton, Ellis Naylor, Amy Wilcockson, Amory Zhao, Kim Simpson <\/p>\n\n\n\n ————<\/p>\n\n\n\n BARS Digital Events<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wednesday 11 February 2026, 6pm UK time via Zoom Register here: https:\/\/uofglasgow.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_ekjSjojaQPC1mBhlhflsRQ This digital event celebrates and shares the work of six PhD and early-career researchers, all of whom undertook Chawton… Read more »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6289"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6290,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6289\/revisions\/6290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
