The Audio Book Club on Pride and Prejudice

This month, Slate editor David Plotz, deputy editor Julia Turner, and contributing writer Seth Stevenson discuss the enduring charms of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice on the occasion of its 200th birthday. The three discuss why the novel still bewitches us, whether it is fundamentally radical or conservative about gender and class, and the difference between Austen people and Brontë people. They also envision what a Jane Austen dating service might do for the modern man.
