Program Description

Details

Register and join us on Zoom with Anglophile and author Claire Evans as we travel back to the late 1800s, when cash-strapped lords, viscounts, and dukes of Great Britain shifted their focus from hunting foxes and pheasants to more lucrative targets: cash-flush Gilded Age American socialites who were willing to trade their family's money for an ancient title and an often chilly reception into the British aristocracy.
