Austen versus Poe at Gore Place

On Sunday, November 17 at 3 p.m., be in the crowd to witness the literary fight of the century! (The 19th century, that is.)

Over the past few years, two colleagues in the English Department—Rebekah Mitsein, who teaches a course on Jane Austen at Boston College, and Paul Lewis, who teaches a course on Poe and the Gothic—have argued which of these authors is more interesting. Now, they bring the debate to Gore Place. The gloves will come off in this no-holds-barred rumble in which Elizabeth Bennet will finally meet her match in Madeline Usher and ravens will fly over Pemberley! The debate will take place in the 1793 Carriage House at Gore Place. Free parking.

$25 General admission; $20 Members and Card to Culture. To order, visit goreplace.org.
