Pride and Prejudice is the novel that everyone knows — or thinks they know. Its opening sentence is one of the most quoted and adapted phrases in English. One of the nation's best-loved novels, Pride and Prejudice is now a global brand, with film and television adaptations making Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy household names. This Companion investigates some of the sources of the novel's power with a combination of original readings and factual background information. Key themes are explored in detail: money, land, characters and style. The history of the novel's composition and first publication is set out, both in individual essays and in the book's chronology. Chapters on the critical reception, adaptations and cult of the novel reveal why it has become an enduring classic with a unique timeless appeal. |

The study of groups — 'group dynamics' — is a vibrant academic field, overlapping diverse disciplines. It is also highly relevant to language education because the success of classroom learning is very much dependent on how students relate to each other, what the classroom climate is like, what roles the teacher and the learners play and, more generally, how well students can co-operate and communicate with each other. This innovative book addresses these issues and offers practical advice on how to manage language learner groups in a way that they develop into cohesive and productive teams. |
