ENG 262 - Topics in 19th Century British Literature

Type of Course: Seminar
Spring 2013 Topic: Jane Austen in Contemporary Culture
This course explores the current cultural impact of the novels of Jane Austen, one of the most important writers of the Regency period. We will read these works with attention to historical time-period, Austen’s contemporaries’ views, and recent literary criticism to place Austen’s work within the context of its intellectual, literary, and cultural history. To fully encompass Austen’s legacy, the course will take up the current commodification of Austin’s novels through cultural responses in film adaptation. In this exploration, we will reconsider Austen’s political and social engagement through her domestic novels. For undergraduate English majors, this course satisfies the Period (C-2) requirement.
