How did Jane Austen/pride and Prejudice effect the Romanticism era?
I don’t think Pride and Prejudice is really a Romantic novel (as in Romanticism with capital R) : “Romanticism is a complex artistic, literary, and intellectual movement … it was partly a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms… the movement stressed strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience… especially that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature.” – Wikipedia Obiviously P&P is more about social conventions and human love then nature but it does have a few elements: “Austen’s novels also display an ambiguity about emotion and an appreciation for intelligence and natural beauty that aligns them with Romanticism. In their awareness of the conditions of modernity and city life and the consequences for family structure and individual characters, they prefigure much Victorian literature (as does her usage of such elements as frequent formal social gatherings, sketchy characters, and scandal).” – Sparknotes Of course you can’t quote
