SUMMARY:New Discoveries About Winston Churchill's Autobiography
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nDr. Gary L. Stiles\, collector and Grolier member\, will discuss his latest book\, A Prelude to Immortality: Winston Churchill’s ‘My Early Life’ (Unicorn Publishing)\, which sheds light on why and how Churchill came to write an autobiography that has had global impact. The book has been continuously in print for more than 95 years in English editions and printed in 31 non-English speaking countries in 27 languages. Dr. Stiles has uncovered 62 previously unknown non-English versions. His book analyses Churchill’s unusual and effective writing approach\, use of contemporary first-person narrative\, and lyric poetry style that vividly portrays dramatic events. Churchill wrote the book to reinvigorate his persona in the public eye\, challenge a new generation to become involved in society and politics\, paint an image of a bygone era\, and tell his own full educational and military saga\, while generating needed income. \nDr. Gary L. Stiles is a widely published writer\, physician\, medical researcher\, corporate executive\, and student of history and art with a 40-year interest in Winston Churchill and his writings. He was the Ursula Geller Distinguished Professor of Cardiovascular Research at Duke University.

SUMMARY:Fashions on Paper: The Words of Regency Dress
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\nDr. Hilary Davidson looks at the words of fashion in use during Austen’s adult life. This lecture is in conjunction with the “Paper Jane: 250 Years of Austen” exhibit at the Grolier Club.\n\n\n\nHow did Jane Austen\, her contemporaries\, and their fashion media describe clothing\, and what did they mean when they did? The language of Regency dress is not necessarily straightforward to understand now. Drawing on new research underpinning her 2025 book\, A Guide to Regency Dress: From Corsets and Breeches to Bonnets and Muslin\, this presentation looks at the words of fashion in use during Austen’s adult life and their slippery associations with actual garments worn during the Regency. \nDr. Hilary Davidson is a dress\, textiles and fashion historian and curator\, associate professor\, and chair of the MA Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice in the School of Graduate Studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. In 2007\, Hilary became curator of fashion and decorative arts at the Museum of London. She presented on the BBC documentary\, Pride & Prejudice: Having a Ball\, reconstructed Jane Austen’s pelisse for this summer’s A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250 at the Morgan Library and Museum and spoke at the Jane Austen Society of North America’s Annual General Meetings in both 2024 and 2025. Research sparked by Professor Davidson’s reconstruction of Jane Austen’s pelisse led to her most recent book\, A Guide to Regency Dress: From Corsets and Breeches to Bonnets and Muslin. \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-fashions-on-paper-the-words-of-regency-dress-tickets-1661348370699?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
