Race in the Regency

Color & Gender in Austen, Bridgerton, and Beyond

Adaptations of Regency literature, like Jane Austen's Sanditon, have made modern readers and viewers more aware of the positionality of people of color during the Regency period in England.

Join us in-person at the Lawrence Branch for an illustrated lecture exploring the complex history of other literary representations of people of color during the Regency era.

Presenter: Mary Helen Truglia, Director of Writing Tutorial Services at Indiana University-Bloomington.

This presentation is part of the Culture, History, and Society programs hosted by the Lawrence Branch of The Indianapolis Public Library. Made possible by The Indy Public Library Foundation.

Before the presentation, please review our list of IndyPL materials and web resources.
