Course description
Why is Pride and Prejudice considered one of the so-called Great English Novels, and why is its author, Jane Austen, so perennially popular? This class offers an in-depth examination of Pride and Prejudice— from its composition and historical context to its narrative techniques and its many critical and creative afterlives in literature, culture, and film. Students will come away from this course knowledgeable about the figure of Jane Austen, methods of literary and cultural criticism, and the novel as a major literary form.
This course counts toward the post-1800 requirement for English majors.
