- Inhalt
- Among the canon of English writers of the 18th century, one name is sure to be mentioned by all scholars of English literature: Jane Austen. Moreover, Austen is still a household name outside of academia and her six novels are still widely read, enjoyed, criticised or actively rejected by modern-day readers. Despite the often overt gender-bias contemporaries levelled at female writers, Austen already enjoyed popularity in her own time. Two hundred years later, her popularity has not waned, but the reception of Austen s narratives and characters has certainly changed with the invention of film.
This block seminar will approach the works of Jane Austen from two different perspectives: We will look at all six of Austen s novels and assess her narratives through contemporary literary discourses. In particular, the situation of women in the Regency period considering female authors like Austen as well as the landed gentry women (single, married and widowed) Austen depicts will be centralised. On the two Saturday appointments, we will then look at exemplary filmic adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Emma to analyse how filmmakers of the 20th and predominantly 21st century have adapted and translated women s struggles to not only a new medium but also a new time, i.e. the time of the respective audience.
To this end, the works and films listed under Obligatory reading and Obligatory watching need to be read or watched until the beginning of the class to make sure all participants are on the same page. More material (predominantly secondary sources) will be made available on the VC shortly before the course. To gain access to the VC, all students who sign up for this class on FlexNow will receive an email plus a course plan before the course.
Guest auditors are very welcome and asked to send an email to the lecturer to sign up for the course.
