Critical Memoir And Identity Formation: Being, Belonging, Becoming, Nancy Mack Nov 2014

Critical Memoir And Identity Formation: Being, Belonging, Becoming, Nancy Mack

English Language and Literatures Faculty Publications

Critique can function as more than a scholarly pursuit; it can become a valued skill for surviving as an outsider within an academic context. Because universities are complex, largely reproductive systems, being a hard worker and following the rules does not necessarily lead to reward or even much notice.

Toeing The Line: The Morality Of Dancing Pride And Prejudice And Regency Culture, Laura Gray

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Many of the social interactions in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are reliant upon decidedly ambiguous rules. The characters in the novel are constantly toeing a line between trying to express their feelings in a forthright manner and restricting themselves in order to maintain propriety. No one knows how to maintain a balance between these two actions, as a result, true feelings are hardly ever properly expressed, and their ability to form connections suffers. All of the characters endure this unfortunate phenomenon.

Rules Of Engagement: Mr. Darcy's Courtship In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Victoria Lane

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) is most commonly regarded as a story of love. The narrative does indeed follow a marriage plot line, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet do fall in love and get married, but where within the narrative do we see any true sentiment revealed? The linear plot stretches from beginning to end; from their first meeting to their inevitable marriage. The space between must then be filled with the act of courting; each party's attempt at establishing a connection. However, the majority of the development of the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy is devoid of …

Just What A Young Man Ought To Be: Politeness And Easy Manners As The Infallible Passport In Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Ethan Baumgartner
