ENG 206 - Reading Austen1 course unit This course explores the novels of Jane Austen and their contemporary revisions. Roughly half of the course consists of an intensive, critically, and historically-contextualized study of four of Austen’s novels. The other half consists of a cultural materialist study of the revisions, sequels, and film adaptations of Austen produced predominantly in the 1940s and since the1990s. In this way, we explore the evolving importance of Austen to her readers as well as the ways such adaptations reflect and shape the meanings of her novels under changed conditions of production. Meets departmental Transformations approach. Meets general academic requirements HU and W.
