It is a ‘truth universally acknowledged that’ Jane Austen is one of the best and most widely read authors of English literature’.

Due to the 200^th anniversary of her death (July 2017), the school geography and history teacher Ruben de la Rubia and the English teacher Manmen Rodríguez decided to start a project with A level students(Batxillerat) . They read Pride and Prejudice, watched the film (2005) and finally studied more deeply about England during the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries. Pride and Prejudice is a picture of how society was in those days: hard differences among social classes, the pressure for women of being married, the financial difficulties… and Jane Austen had the ability to transmit all that with the best subtlety ever.   

The students have had the opportunity to choose among different topics and formats such as a diary page, letters, wedding invitations… but  always from the perspective of one of the characters.

 The final result has been the amazing Jane Austen Corner.
