Jane Austen, Abolitionist : The Loaded History of the Phrase “Pride and Prejudice” by Margie Burns
February, 2025: Day and Time: TBD
Zoom Meeting–Registration form will be posted in January
Author Margie Burns will read and discuss her book. The history of the phrase “pride and prejudice” before it became the title of Jane Austen’s most famous novel is largely forgotten today. In particular, most of the reading public is unaware that “pride and prejudice” was a traditional critique adopted by British and American antislavery writers.
