Bliss-Zimmerman Memorial Lecture | Deidre Lynch | November 6, 2014
“Pride and Prejudice by Numbers”
South Hall 2635, 3:30 PM
This paper on Jane Austen’s computational imagination highlights the arithmetic questions posed by Pride and Prejudice and considers how they register the nineteenth-century novel tradition’s shifting relationship to projects of social accounting and notions of social causation. Often as she relays the story of a singular, complex, unique character like the fascinating Elizabeth Bennet, Austen points simultaneously towards the statistical norms and means that would be derivable from a larger quantity of story-lines rendered in the aggregate.
