About the Event

During the years when Jane Austen was writing the novels that would later make her famous, including Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, her naval captain brother and his family spent time in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Their experiences were a source of inspiration for Jane when she wrote her naval novels, Mansfield Park and Persuasion.
