Description
Sense and Sensibility, one of Austen’s most beloved novels, is not only about two young women overcoming obstacles in love. It’s also about the struggle to come to terms with romance vs. realism, head vs. heart, restraint vs. expression and appearance vs. reality. Taking both a psychological and historical perspective, we’ll read, enjoy and discuss this 19th century classic, and watch several video clips from film versions of the book. Please borrow or purchase David Shapard’s Annotated Sense and Sensibility and read the first nine (brief) chapters before the first class.
