Tuesday, 2/25 - Remember the Revolutions of 1789/98 (French Revolution and Lyrical Ballads)

• P&P

• Have your Romantic era notes out for me to check while you chaw on the Big League Chew below ; )

• GUM: The 1798 publication of a collection of poems called Lyrical Ballads a collaboration between William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge serve as a literary marker for the beginning of the Romantic period in England: another way to date the Romantic period is to say that it started with the French Revolution in 1789, and ended  with the Parliamentary reforms of 1832, that laid the political foundations for modern Britain.

• Discuss J13 and continue reading P&P
  
  HW: Hear ye, hear ye! Here is what I'd like for you to do for each chapter you read in P&P: For each of the 61 chapters (beginning with ch. 4) in Austen's Pride and Prejudice, you must select (and be ready to share in class) your favorite quote, communicating the following:
  
  1. The speaker(s) - is it Lizzie, Bingley, Mr. Bennet, the narrator?
  2. The context - what's happening, who's dialoging, what the quote means
  3. (chapters 4-30) Why you like the quote
  4. (chapters 31-61) Link the quote to another episode in the book or a larger theme you see Austen developing.
  Due block day of this week, read through Ch. 8 and do journal questions 1-3 above.
