Professor Mullan discusses the major female characters in Austen's novels, including Elizabeth Bennet and Emma Woodhouse, and shows how she transformed the idea of the heroine in literature.

About the course:

In four lessons, John Mullan, Professor of English at University College London, reveals the ingenuity, subversive social commentary and wit that make Austen one of England’s most important novelists. Over the course of the lessons, you’ll learn about the gender dynamics of nineteenth-century proposals, see how Austen re-imagined the role of the heroine in literature, come to understand why illness plays such a central role in her novels and learn how it’s all about the subtext when it comes to sex.
