An exhibit on Jane Austen's life and times, called "The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet", is currently on display at the University of Michigan Graduate Library. It includes materials from the library's special collections relating to Austen's times, and several early editions of her works. It runs through March 30, 2018. There is an opening reception with a lecture by the exhibit's curators, Juli McLoone and Sigrid Cordell, on Nov. 30 at 4:00 pm.:

How fun! Will you be going?

Yes, I work at the Graduate Library, so I've seen the exhibit already. I'll be going to the opening lecture this afternoon.

The lecture was wonderful. The two librarians who are the curators of the exhibit spoke about each novel, beginning with Sense and Sensibility, and highlighted a historical aspect of each one.
