Rethinking my project title

As I progress forward with my literature reading and reviews, I am beginning to rethink my question as I have found that it is quite restrictive in terms of the areas I am researching. I have found that I want to explore more about the author, as well as the social and economic problems of her time. In particular, I want to look at her upbringing and how her experiences of the late 18th to early 19th century have contributed to shaping Pride and Prejudice, and the characters of the story. I feel as though my current working title of 'How representative is Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, in terms of the social and economic problems faced within the 19th century?' is too specific, thus restricting my desire to branch out into other contextual areas that surround the novel, including the author. This question focuses too much on the problems of 19th century British society, whereas I would like to focus on Jane Austen's personal experiences of the society around her, as well as its characteristics.

As a result of this realisation, I am currently thinking about a new title. Some ideas that came to mind were:

• How reflective is Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, of the 18th century British society in which she experienced?
• Is/How is Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, an illustration of the society of her time?
• Are Jane Austen's personal experiences of 18th century British society represented by her novel, Pride and Prejudice?
• How did the characteristics of 18th century British society influence Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice?

I believe that all these questions will present me with an opportunity to branch out in my project as I feel too confined when researching this question. Although I am looking at using a new title, I will not have to completely change my course of research as the information and resources I have already found remain incredibly useful due to the fact that I am merely extending my area of study, rather than scrapping it completely. I will have to divert my course of research slightly, but not too much that I will feel panicked or not on course. Also, despite not having chosen a title from these ideas, they all focus on the same area of research so choosing a title right this second will not prevent me from continuing with my research.

I will update when I have selected a title.
