Searching for Jane Austen

Are you curious about Jane Austen's life? UW-Madison's very own Prof. Emily Auerbach has just published a book that explores the contrast between Austen's texts and her life. What's more, she will be speaking about and signing copies of her book at Borders at 7 pm this coming Thursday, December 7th.

This is the class blog for English 167 (The Novel in 19th-Century England) at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, sections 312 and 313, for fall 2006. Lectures by Prof. Ortiz-Robles; discussion lead by Mike Shapiro.
