  • EN 351: Jane Austen

    4.00 Credits
    Arcadia University

    Jane Austen's novels have produced a cottage industry of literary criticism, film adaptations, modern film interpretations of Austen’s plots, and other literary productions. What accounts for this phenomenon? We'll read six novels to consider that and the following questions: How does her work fit into the tradition of the novel? How did the form of her novels develop over the two decades in which she wrote them? How do the novels reflect the culture in which she wrote? How has the critical response to her canon changed over the almost two centuries since she wrote? Why and how has the film industry interpreted the books repeatedly? Juniors, seniors, graduate students.
