    Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (1813) has been the target of adaptations for almost two centuries, from the 19th century London stage to Hollywood and the BBC. Why? To define some of the perennial attraction of this novel, the class will examine the core characters, themes and vision of Austen's great novel with the help of some historical background and a glance at some literary debates about Austen. Then we'll look at the ways Austen's themes have been understood, misunderstood, and recast by various films and TV miniseries. In particular we will look at examples from the wonderful 1940 film with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier; the 1985 and the 1995 BBC versions, especially the latter with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle; the 2005 film with Keira Knightley; and even Bridget Jones's Diary. Students should purchase, read, and come with the Penguin edition of Pride and Prejudice, edited by V. Jones and available at the Colorado College bookstore. This session will break for lunch and include an afternoon tea. Located in Armstrong Hall, Room 231.
