Pride and Prejudice Vocabulary Blogging Day 1

Take a few moments to explore and read some of the links on the right hand side of this page. You will find a lot of valuable information on our novel, Jane Austen and the Regency time period.

For tomorrow, Thursday, April 15th, please complete the following:
  1. Read the introduction to Pride and Prejudice
  2. Explore the links to the right of this page.
  3. Reply to this post with at least one word that was unfamiliar to you or you may not have known before today. Put the part of speech as used by Austen, the definition and page number next to it. (This is exactly as we did with Frankenstein.)
Please email me if you have any questions.
