Virtual course: Mondays Apr 3 and 17, May 1 and 15 7:00-8:30 pm ET
What is to become of a talented woman in a society that believes that her abilities are best spent amusing herself, entertaining her family, and educating her children? Jane Austen took up this question most directly in Emma, which focuses on a heroine who is an “imaginist” and which also features a supporting character whose musical gifts greatly exceed what is expected of an accomplished woman. Austen, an inventive writer beginning in her teenage years, knew well what it was like to aspire to more than women were supposed to and to face hard choices about balancing creative work and family obligations. We will read and discuss Emma in relation to Austen’s life and career, her involvement in the publication of her novels, and the critical praise her works received during and after her lifetime. Winner announced on March 13!
