4. JANE AUSTEN  Jane Austen was born December 16th, 1775 at Steventon, Hampshire, England to Rev. George Austen, (the local rector, or Church of England clergyman), and his wife Cassandra

5. AUSTEN’S EDUCATION  1783: Jane and her older sister were taught by Mrs. Crawley, who was a sister of one of their uncles.  1785-1786: Jane and Cassandra attended Abbey Boarding School  Jane was almost too young to benefit from this.  Learned piano, how to draw, etc. from family  Read novels all the time  Her father had over 500 in 1801.

6. EARLY ADULTHOOD  Austen enjoyed attending social events (dances and parties) and visiting London, Bath, Southampton, etc. where she attended plays.  1801: family moves to Bath

7. AUSTEN’S LOVE LIFE  1795-1796: brief fling with Thomas Lefroy  He couldn’t afford to marry her.  Possible serious relationship with a nameless man in Devonshire.

10. AUSTEN’S GRAVESTONE: WHAT’S MISSING?  In memory of JANE AUSTEN, youngest daughter of the late Revd. GEORGE AUSTEN, formerly Rector of Steventon in this County. She departed this Life on the 18th July 1817, aged 41, after a long illness supported with the patience and the hopes of a Christian. The benevolence of her heart, the sweetness of her temper, and the extraordinary endowments of her mind obtained the regard of all who knew her, and the warmest love of her intimate connections. Their grief is in proportion to their affection they know their loss to be irreparable, but in the deepest affliction they are consoled by a firm though humble hope that her charity, devotion, faith and purity have rendered her soul acceptable in the sight of her REDEEMER.

12. REPUTATION  Reputation is everything, especially to women.  Elizabeth walks to Bingley’s  Mrs. Bennett’s ridiculous behavior  Lydia’s relationship with Wickham  Darcy’s intervention

13. CLASS  Lower class?  Life for the middle and upper class was strictly regulated  Bennett’s associated with Bingley’s  Mr. Collins actions around Lady Catherine  Darcy and Elizabeth/ Jane and Bingley marriages  Can love and happiness overcome class?

14. EDUCATION  No organized education; local charity or church-run schools were popular.  “Genteel” social levels, like those in Pride and Prejudice, did not attend these schools.  They would be taught by parents, a tutor, or be sent away to live with a tutor when young.  Some grammar schools existed but were only for males.

15. EDUCATION CONT.  The prime symbol of academic knowledge, and masculine educational attainments, was the Classical languages Greek and Latin, to which a great deal of time was devoted in "genteel" boys' education, but which few women studied.

16. WOMEN’S EDUCATION  As for domestic training,a relatively large amount of girls' and women's time was spent on sewing or needlework  For women of the "genteel" classes the goal of non-domestic education was thus often the acquisition of "accomplishments", such as the ability to draw, sing, play music, or speak modern languages (generally French and Italian).  Generally just done to attract men.

17. GENDER DIFFERENCES  Men had greater power and contribution to society as a whole  Women were viewed more as reserved, gossipy, and highly held by reputation.  Women were expected appear and behave with a certain manner, and easily became a social outcast if any societal deviance was displayed

18. GENDER DIFFERENCES: MEN  man’s primary role is to be the provider:  work,  propose an engagement for a wife,  earn the family’s only income,  make final decisions,  physically and fiscally support and protect the family, and  provide a home, food, and clothing.

19. GENDER DIFFERENCES: WOMEN  During this time period, it was unacceptable for women, or a woman, to travel alone.  Women were to:  tend to the children,  cook the meals,  do the shopping and sewing, and  uphold the daily routines for the family, primarily tending to the husband’s needs.

20. ON PAGE 22  Why has language changed? Why do we no longer speak in Old English?

26. INDEPENDENT CLAUSE/SENTENCE  A sentence that can stand on its own. It has a subject and a predicate. (The predicate is the part of a sentence (or clause) which tells us what the subject does or is. To put it another way, the predicate is everything that is not the subject.)  Ex. Sally dances.  Ex 2: He stole my bike last week.

27. DEPENDENT CLAUSE  A sentence that is incomplete (fragment). This sentence depends on another part of the sentence in order to function. These clauses include a subject and a verb but also a subjunctive conjunction which makes it incomplete.  After I went to my mother’s house

28. WHAT IS A COMPOUND SENTENCE?

29. COMPOUND SENTENCE  A sentence that contains two independent clauses (complete thoughts/sentences).  I went to the store, and I saw Jimmy there. The following is NOT a compound sentence: I went to the store and saw Jimmy there.

30. COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: FANBOYS  For  And  Nor  But  Or  Yet  So  COMMA BEFORE FANBOYS WHEN CONNECTING TWO INDEPENDENT CLAUSES!!!

31.

35. SUBJUNCTIVE CONJUNCTION…  If you start a sentence with a SUBJUNCTIVE conjunction, you must put a comma between the dependent and independent clause.  Ex: After I went home, I decided I wanted to go to the homecoming dance.  If you put the SUBJUNCTIVE conjunction in the middle of the sentence, no comma is necessary.  Ex: I decided that I wanted to go to the homecoming dance after I went home.
