Jane Austen and the Buddha with Dr. Kathryn Duncan
In the final event of our Asia & the Regency series, we learn about Buddhism and what Austen can teach us about the Four Noble Truths with a special talk from Dr. Kathryn Duncan (St. Leo University). Like Buddhism, Austen's novels explore both suffering and happiness. This talk will introduce a unique and novel approach to reading our old Austenian favorites in a new way, which is further explored in Dr. Duncan's new book Jane Austen and the Buddha (2021).
