 Laura Berquist This years talk: " Jane Austen and Virtues" Synopsis:
Jane Austen is an author of remarkable perspicuity, one who is able to teach about virtue without preaching, and who shows her readers how virtue leads to happiness. We can learn about virtue from her, and also learn how to encourage virtue in our children. She teaches by example, and by moving the will of her audience to love the good. We need to do the same.
