Abstract
Town and Country
By Kelsey Chanel Holden
Town and Country is a novella inspired by Jane Austen's
famed Pride and
Prejudice. It examines the clash between a physician,
Sebastian Steele, and a maid,
Jocelyn Roberts, as they navigate their way through rural and urban
African American
societies on the eve of Brown v. Board of Education. The two
fight their attraction to
each other from Newton, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia and back again.
The novella deals
with issues of class and race as well as the differences between
city and country life.
While not a retelling of the beloved British novel, Town and
Country definitely deals
with the themes of pride and prejudice while examining the
motivations behind
advancement within the established socioeconomic hierarchy of the
African American
community.
