ENGL 205: Storytelling: Pride and Prejudice

Course Description

In this introduction to the tools and purpose of collegiate literary analysis, we read Jane Austen's novel _Pride and Prejudice_ for what its popularity suggests about the function of "Literature" during the twenty-first century. Students will read the original novel followed by its adaptations in film, novelistic sequels/prequels, graphic novels, and children's literature. The course also serves as a introduction to the social value of imaginative fiction. (YR).
