Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 18 AIL 1748 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Captions available
The idea
Nature does not mean Romantic, and satire does not mean eighteenth century. Austen is the standing counter-example on manner and date. Unit eight and unit sixteen both warned against dating from a single feature, and this band is where the warning matters most.
In practice
Subject does not date a passage.
Where people slip
Austen is the counter-example.
