As masters of culture description, Austen depicts in Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Emma (1996)the realities of her society and the cultural aspects of life in that era. This study is concerned with the cultural analysis of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Emma highlighting the nineteenth century British society’s life and idiosyncrasies to see how Austen succeeded in making her novels an expression of culture. Opting for achecklist-cultural-analysis, this researchcontextualises the novels and studies them from a cultural perspective, for, as it is assumed, novels are an expression of social life and cultural identity. This study enables for an examination of how the writer’s times affects both works through two main chapters in which some cultural elements are well-scrutinised namely: Marxism, Feminism, descriptive realism, free indirect discourse, literary tourism, and cinema adaptation. In effect, this research shows that Austen’s works are well developed books that demonstrate the societal and cultural views of the time she was living in. Austen is regarded to be a conscientious woman writer whose subjective narratives have unfurled the wondrous world of her times.frThesis
