Course Information:

As a feature of eighteenth-century life, illness was frequently used as a plot device and lens for characterisation in Jane Austen’s iconic novels, at a time when medicine was primitive and mental health was trivialised. On this course, explore physical and mental illnesses, accident and remedies in four of Jane Austen’s iconic novels: Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma and Sense and Sensibility through interactive seminar discussions and lectures.
