Susannah Fullerton @ Newcastle Region Library

Susannah Fullerton, President of the Jane Austen Society in Australia comes to Newcastle Region Library.
Susannah will be in town to talk about her new book "Brief Encounters".
This is a look back in history at all the literary identities that have travelled to Australian shores, why they came, what they did when they arrived here, their opinions of Australia and Australians and how their future work was influenced by the time they spent in this country. Susannah looks at writers such as Charles Darwin, Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.

Susannah is one of Australia’s leading authorities on early 19th and 20th Century writers and is a very engaging and lively speaker to listen to.
Friday 21st August, 6.30pm, Newcastle Region Library, Laman St.
