	40444	Lecture-Discussion	1G	2:00PM -3:15PM	TR	301 Architecture Building	Wood, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/15-12/09/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Jane Austen Section Info: Topic Section 1G: Jane Austen Jane Austen stands for many things she should not: prim mistress of the drawing room of English literature, romance novelist, and cash cow for the period film industry. In this course, we will attempt to rescue Austen from Austen Inc. by examining the fictional innovations, unsparing wit, and genius for characterization that created the enormous readership for her novels in the first place. We will study Austen?s larger novelistic craft?as a pioneer of female subjectivity in prose, a fashioner of sentimental crises, and commentator on a society she both despises and lovingly details?while not neglecting the micro-issues of Austen?s irresistibly caustic style. The gender politics surrounding this style?Austen?s barely successful constraint of her verbal brilliance within the respectable parameters of the marriage plot?will be a major focus, as will the history of Regency Britain on which she casts an oblique but probing light. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
