Sorry, this course has been cancelled.
Celebrations in Jane Austen’s novels are important plot devices that are usually given an ironic twist. This course will examine the role of weddings, surprise engagements and social entertainment in three of Austen’s famous novels: Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Persuasion
Although this course assumes no prior knowledge of Jane Austen, it would be helpful to read the three novels beforehand and have copies available during the course.
