The 'Bibliography' List

Yesterday, I handed in my undergraduate dissertation! You can't imagine the relief!

I thought I would share with you some of the books that I read in relation to my subject: 'Pride, Prejudice and the Modern Woman'.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Of course, the place where it all began. One of my favourite books, and SO much more complex than the average reader may appreciate.

Emma by Jane Austen

I only refer to this in passing in my dissertation, but I'm adding it to the list. Another favourite of mine. And like all of Austen's works, pure genius.

Jane's Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World by Claire Harman

This is an incredibly entertaining read, as well as a fascinating look at Austen's life, works, and how she continues to grow in popularity to this day.

Jane Austen in Hollywood by Linda Troost and Sayre Greenfield

This moves into the more academic works, but it's a brilliant range of essays on Austen works in adaptation.

The Common Reader by Virginia Woolf

Oh Virginia! One of the great female writers addresses the success of another. Obviously, I focused on the Austen chapter, but this book is a must-read.
