Biblioventures (Austen Mondays and Sundays With…)
What began as an early pandemic project has grown into the Rosenbach’s most popular virtual program! Each week, our program manager Edward G. Pettit hosts a weekly, interactive web series based off on a work of classic literature. Next up: Sherlock Mondays beginning on September 18, 2023. You can find past episodes of Austen Mondays and Sundays With… Dracula, Frankenstein, and Jane Eyre here.
