One of the greatest and most beloved English writers, Jane Austen played a major role in the development of the novel as a genre.

We will study Austen’s role within a tradition of women’s writing, with attention to both her predecessors and successors. We will examine her works in relation to the cultural context of the late 18^th and early 19^th century and will also survey the growing body of scholarship on Austen.
