If anybody wants to understand printing of the era better, let me
know. I volunteer in 2 printing museums and have presses scattered
liberally about my premesis (print shop, garage, living room).

The website http://danceweavers.ca/janeausten.html has a link
partway down called A Weekend with Jane Austen which is a pdf -
didn't want to use that directly in case the list might bounce it.

The theme for April 19-21st overall will be Love and Technology, so
many of the planned activities will connect to that theme in some way.
Many elements of the progamme are already in place, but more will be
added soon.
A few highlights:
Print technology in the time of Austen (Mackenzie House Museum Print
Shop)
Print: the dawning of celebrity culture and the popular press
"Beyond Jack Tar and Polly Portsmouth: Relationships at Sea" by naval
historian Victor Suthren, organizer of last year's Sailors on the
Lakes 1812 bicentennial launch
Lecture on Jane Austen by Professor Robert Morrison, back by popular
demand
Millinery and the art of flirting
Etiquette, class, and the schooling of the body in Regency England
Marriage and the courtesans - a tangled web
Regency Fashion Show by Charlene Roberts
Georgian Food & Historical Sites & Book Table
and much more!
Keep tuned for regular updates.
