CED 357 - Audacious Austen!

Institution:

Jefferson Community College

Subject:

C- Continuing Education

Description:

Audacious Austen! Writing in the early 1800¿s, Jane Austen wrote commentary so biting, honest, and courageous that critic A.L. Rowse has said that being known by her ¿must have been like encountering the Last Judgment,¿ yet Austen was content to publish her novels anonymously and doubted their literary value. Join us as we examine Austen¿s life and times as she skewers husband-hunting, landed gentry, social-climbing, and those who make, break, and enforce the rules in three of her great novels: Northhanger Abbey in which a would be ingénue searches desperately for things that go bump in the night; Emma, wherein Emma Woodhouse attempts to turn another young woman into a home improvement project, and Pride and Predjudice, which covers everything the mother with too many daughters needs to know about eligible bachelors. The workshop meets for two hours on 4 successive Monday evenings. (CED 357 701) Instructor: Ann Clark - Moore Mondays, February 23 through March 2, 9, 16, 2009 6:00 ¿ 8:00 pm Cost: $50
