Pride & Prejudice ...or Sabotage?
The plots of English novelist Jane Austen explored the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. She used wit and irony to sabotage the status quo, skewering class and gender assumptions. University of Hartford Professor Emerita Catherine Stevenson will parse the social satire in several works, then home in on Mansfield Park, her most puzzling, controversial novel. Its heroine, so different from Emma or Elizabeth Bennet, offers a not-so-veiled critique of aristocratic slaveholders, familial patriarchy, and even the Church of England. Thursdays, October 30, November 6, 13, 2–3:30 p.m. Sponsored by President’s College Lifelong Learning at the University of Hartford.
