I discuss The Woman of Colour, A Tale and Mansfield Park and argue that the anonymous author of Woman of Color and Jane Austen use the marriage market and its laws to comment on women’s oppression and its links to institutions of slavery. In this WIP I analyze representations of courtship, particularly for those women on the margins of Britain’s fashionable society. Please contact Rachel Buurma or Kate Thomas for a copy of the paper. Patricia’s paper is titled “‘I yield up my independence’: Marriage and Shades of Mansfield.” Please join us on Thursday February 28th at 5.15pm for a discussion of Patricia Matthew’s work on The Woman of Colour, A Tale and Mansfield Park.
