One Very Superior Party

with KIM WILSON

In Jane Austen’s Emma, snobbish Mrs. Elton criticizes the society parties held in Emma’s village of Highbury, and plans to host “one very superior party” to show what a truly elegant party should be. Just in time for the holidays, in this informative talk, accompanied by amusing illustrations of Regency-era parties, games, foods, and table settings, Kim Wilson will show participants what Regency parties would have looked like and how they can easily recreate one at home.

A popular speaker, Kim travels regularly throughout the country giving entertaining and inspiring lectures to audiences at conferences, corporate events, museums, botanical gardens, cultural centers, historic sites, literary festivals, bookstores, libraries, literary societies, and garden clubs nationwide. She was a featured lecturer for the Fall 2014 program of the Royal Oak Foundation, the American partner of the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland and lectures regularly for Road Scholar.
