Persuading the Undergraduates that Pride & Prejudice—and sometimes Emma—Were Not Just Dumb Girlie Books
2024-10-28 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Instructor: Eileen Conway (in-person course) Fee: Members $75 | Non-Members $95
Eileen Conway, a retired Anglican clergywoman, taught English at the University of Alberta for almost twenty years, chiefly to freshmen. This task happily often involved “Persuading the Undergraduates that Pride & Prejudice—and sometimes Emma—Were Not Just Dumb Girlie Books.” Quite often, happily, she succeeded.
In this fall’s course at the Centre, we’ll look at all the six novels completed in Austen’s lifetime. The order will be: Northanger Abbey, Sense & Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, and Pride & Prejudice. You might want to start now!
Our starting point will be the hypothesis that a novel is not a treatise, but a dialogue between author and reader. And a “a good time will be had by all!

Lecture 4: What can be done PRACTICALLY to diminish inequality while retaining individual freedom?
