Jane Austen & Dido Belle: A Visit with Renata Dennis

04 Jan 2024

Description

JASNA member Renata Dennis joins us to discuss the fascinating story of Dido Belle, a woman of color caught between two identities. Dido was the daughter of an enslaved woman and a British naval officer but was raised as a gentlewoman in the household of William Murray, Earl of Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice of the Court of the King's Bench. Until recently, she was lost to history.  Renata also shares her thoughts on Dido Belle as the inspiration for Jane Austen’s character Miss Lambe in Sanditon.Transcript and show notes:  https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep7Visit our website:  www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookEmail: [email protected]
