Gresham College Lectures Jane Austen: Patriotism and Prejudice
Oct 31, 2017

Professor Todd will be discussing patriotism in Austen's time and her particular attitude to it; her sense of what Englishness is, materially and politically, and how it manifests itself in daily life; what aspects should be a source of both pride and prejudice; her possibly ironic treatment of the characters embodying her apparent attitudes; and how her views change over her lifetime as war gives way to peace.
