What social class is Sir William Lucas in Jane Austen’s great novel Pride and Prejudice? Why is he so class-conscious? Why is Sir William Lucas so anxious about class? What is a knight? What is a knighthood? And what social class were knights in Jane Austen’s period? How does Sir William Lucas’ class consciousness compare to the snobbery of the Bingley sisters (Caroline Bingley and Mrs Hurst)? Like Lady Catherine de Bourgh, does Sir William Lucas like “to have the distinction of rank preserved” (ch.29)? Lots of questions! The lecture provides some of the answers: it outlines the social classes & ranks that classified Regency society; it provides a definition & explains the meaning of ‘knights’ and ‘knighthoods’; & it analyses Jane Austen’s depiction of a knight in the character of Sir William Lucas in Pride and Prejudice. The video analyses Sir William Lucas with a little help from Caroline Bingley, Mrs Hurst, Mr and Mrs Gardiner, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Elizabeth Bennet, and Mr Darcy. Analysis of social class in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
