Dormouse to Donkey Carts: carriages of Jane Austen’s era
18 September @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Amy Bracey has been driving horse-drawn carriages since she was knee high to a grasshopper and her love for them became a career when working for the National Trust, cataloguing their carriage collection. She is Project Curator for The Carriage Foundation, an educational charity, and advises museums and individuals across the globe on the care, conservation, history and research of horse-drawn carriages.
This illustrated presentation will explore the modes of transport mentioned in Austen’s novels and what they represented in the subtle language of her writings.
