You must include at least three secondary sources in this essay. Your secondary sources must include recognized Austen critics. Be sure that you include among your secondary sources at least two critical articles dealing with Pride and Prejudice. Please note your secondary sources may include the essays in the “Criticism” section of your Norton Critical edition. Since you will be using quotations and paraphrases from both your primary source (Pride and Prejudice) and secondary sources (articles and books on Pride and Prejudice), you must include parenthetical in-text citations—after the quotation in your essay, provide the page number(s) for print sources—and a Works Cited list. Also, remember to include the Norton Critical edition of Pride and Prejudice in your Works Cited list. Remember to avoid turning your essay into a patchwork of quotations from different articles and books. Research Essay Topics Choose just one of the following topics: Discuss the function and importance of letters in Pride and Prejudice. Do Pride and Prejudice reinforce or erode sexist stereotypes of women? “Time and space are small in Pride and Prejudice.” Discuss the significance of critic Dorothy Van Ghent’s comment on the novel’s setting. Instructions Your essay should have three parts: an introductory paragraph, a body containing fully developed paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. Following is a general guide for what to include in each section of your essay.
