I love this! I appreciate all your essay AT! I have always loved Pride & Prejudice and when I first read it at 17, it was just a work of British literature ( mandatory reading for a former colony) in college. Over the last few years, I am discovering new insights into Austen's work thanks to scholars like Dr.KSP and you!
Thanks Elsie! That means so much to me, I'm really glad to hear the article held new insights for you, though I don't think I'll ever have as much to say as Dr Prior! Oddly, I wasn't ever required to read Austen in school, though her books were encouraged.
well in India, back in my day, when we did a major in English Literature, in the first year we covered British writers, second year American and third a mix plus a handful of Indian authors. We also covered tons of Shakespeare. I appreciate all the learning I had but I do wish we had studied Indian authors more. The lack of cultural perspective for students did not affect the majority of us until much later in life. But I love Austen and all the classics. Most authors at that time wrote with their roots in Christian faith and I am glad we all can unpack and learn from it today.

Love this! Pride and prejudice is so much more than just a romance book and it's so good to hear it talked about!
I know right! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
and I will have to look up Humble Calvinism this week at the library.
You really should, it's excellent.
