Description
The Pride and Prejudice Reader's Guide was developed collaboratively in the Fall of 2013 by majors in the Department of English Language and Literatures at Wright State University, this guide provides readers with key information about Jane Austen's novel, whether reading it for the first or the fifteenth time. Students enrolled in Crystal B. Lake's senior seminar on Pride and Prejude worked together to develop plot summaries, character lists, discussion questions, bibliographies, a glossary and other tools that they felt would be helpful for Austen's twenty-first century readers. At the end of the guide, readers can also view posters representing some students' research projects into specific aspects of the novel. This guide and its research was not only part of a course, but also part of a special celebration organized by CELIA: The Ohio Center for Excellence for Collaborative Education, Leadership, and Innovation in the Arts, featuring internationally-renowned experts on Jane Austen, British literature, culture, and history as well as a number of unique community-outreach events, including a Regency Ball.
