Congrats are in order to Alice Davenport, a regional member from Eugene! Alice recently contributed a chapter on 18th-century landscape architecture in the book Jane Austen and the Arts: Elegance, Propriety, and Harmony (Lehigh/Rowman&Littlefield, 2013), edited by Natasha Duquette and Elisabeth Lenckos. Her chapter is entitled "An Adaptable Aesthetic: Eighteenth-Century Landscapes, Ann Radcliffe, and Jane Austen.” If any members are particularly interested in this topic and would like to contact Alice, please contact Kim (see our Contacts page) for her personal email address. You can read more about the book, plus a table of contents, at the Jane Austen in Vermont website by clicking here. |
