What Would Jane Do?
Season 3 Ep.10 Jane Austen and First Impressions
On the 210th anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice, Julia and Kate discuss first impressions (also the first title of P&P). We run through how first impressions were created in Regency England so if you wanted a quick guide to the society of Jane's era - here it is! We then discuss social mobility and what Jane made of that. Could Jane be understood as an author whose plots are about first impressions? We go on to draw out lessons for today, appoint a Darcy and Wickham of this episode, and then on to our Jane Austen news!
