Queer Georgians with Dr Anthony Delaney

from Austen After Dark

It’s the Georgian era but make it gilded because we’re talking all things queer in Jane Austen’s world with Dr Anthony Delaney! He wrote a book and now he’s going to lay some historical knowledge on us, but he promises to be gentle. Were same-sex attraction and gender non-conformity totally hidden away in the Georgian period? Did history’s favourite lesbian couple have their own Austen-esque story in Ireland? How much did Jane Austen know about queerness, and did it show up in her writing? Queer Georgians is available 4 September 2025 (Queer Enlightenments in North America, 7 October) If you enjoy this podcast, link arms with us for a stroll around the gardens of cinema, as Alice & Kim review period dramas from every era in Fetch the Smelling Salts.
