Acclaimed historian and TV presenter Lucy Worsley is heading to York on her new tour this autumn.
Following on from her sold-out Agatha Christie tour, Lucy is inviting audiences to step into the world of one of English Literature’s most cherished figures: Jane Austen.
An Audience with Lucy Worsley on Jane Austen is at York Barbican on Monday 14 October 2024.
Known for her timeless classics such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion, Jane Austen is a beloved author and staple of English literature.
In this live talk, Lucy will take a look through the houses, places and possessions that mattered to her and reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom.
Lucy Worsley said: “Join me as we trace the footsteps of Jane Austen through the rooms she lived in, the landscapes she painted with words, and the revolution she began in women’s lives.
“We’ll celebrate not just the brilliance of her work, but the daily triumphs and trials of the woman behind the novels.
“This tour is more than a historical journey; it’s a personal pilgrimage to uncover the many layers of Jane – her wit, her resilience, and her inspiring legacy. Although she did it lightly and ever so quietly, I believe that Jane Austen changed the world.”
Tickets are available from £41.30 via the York Barbican website.
