For this book club, we will be using the book Emma by Jane Austin. You can purchase it in digital, paperback, hardcover, and audio formats. It is also available at many local libraries.

Additionally you will need The Norton Sampler: Seventh Edition edited by Thomas Cooley. The essays are different in each edition so you will need the 7th edition for this course.

To complete the grammar exercises, you will need Painless Grammar (Fourth Edition) by Rebecca Elliott, Ph.D.

You will also need a notebook or binder for your notes, vocabulary, and writing.

Parent Note:

This novel contains themes of romance, social class, and family expectations, but there is no explicit sexual content, violence, or profanity. Some references to gossip, vanity, and social ambition appear, reflecting the humor and satire of Austen’s time. While the 19th-century language can be challenging, the content is age-appropriate for high school readers. Families may want to support students with historical context on gender roles, marriage customs, and class distinctions in Regency England.
