About this listen

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is one of the most beloved novels in the English language--and one of the most popular love stories in the world. It is also a great story of change in which Austen details prominent cultural changes, characters discuss important changes, and the hero and heroine learn to change their minds. Change can be hard, transformative, and frustrating; it can also usher in new opportunities, including new kinds of relationships. Austen shows us characters and communities learning to deal with change, engaging in challenging conversations, and even modeling forms of civil discourse. Austen's novel demonstrates a vital humanities experience from which we must learn in an age of cultural extremism: how to embrace, discuss, and negotiate the challenges of inevitable change through civil discourse.
