Teaching Jane Austen and Diversity: A Bibliography

Last night, on May 4th, 2021, we were delighted to welcome Juliette Wells (Goucher College) to talk about her experience teaching Jane Austen to modern and diverse classrooms. Juliette has generously provided us with a list of further resources and readings mentioned in her talk, which can be found below.




Teaching Austen and Diversity


My presentation drew on two forthcoming publications:

“Race, Privilege, and Relatability: A Practical Guide for College and Secondary Instructors,” in The Routledge Guide to Jane Austen, ed. Maria Frawley and Cheryl A. Wilson (July 2021)


“‘Pride and Prejudice, Here and Now’: Reflecting on a First-Year College Seminar,” in Beyond the Bit of Ivory: Jane Austen and Diversity, special issue of Persuasions On-Line, ed. Danielle Christmas and Susan Allen Ford (summer 2021)

  • note: this article will include (by permission) an image of Amy Sherald’s “A single man in possession of a good fortune”; in the meantime, you can find an image of the artwork in Peter Schjeldahl’s New Yorker article, cited below.
