Why does Jane Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice still matter so much today? Why the many adaptations, endless pages of fan fiction, and legions of devoted “Janeites”? We’ll introduce ideas and questions about this cultural obsession in this one-hour lecture and then explore each in more detail in a six-week course this fall.
Once upon a time, Dr. Guy Guidici taught literature to some of the state’s most inspiring university students in a marvelous cross-disciplinary curriculum. Today, he writes, edits, and develops educational materials for students across the globe. Lately, he’s also enjoyed teaching a series of Adult Electives at First Presbyterian Church on historical topics ranging from the Christian Call to Hospitality to Living Through the Reformation, managing to work Hamlet into practically every course.
