The Jane Austen Society of North America has its annual conference in NYC next month: by way of a teaser, they've offered links to several articles published in their on-line journal relating to the conference theme: "Sex, Money and Power." Not only are these good articles to read alongside the novels, but they might prove good fodder for future papers in our class. Of particular interest to our reading of P & P might be...
