  Congratulations to Kevin Wong (Class of 2021) for the publication of his article, “John Dashwood’s Contract to Care: Parodic Legalism in Sense and Sensibility,” in Persuasions, volume 42. Following the theme of a deathbed promise made by a son to his dying father in Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, Kevin’s article argues that a sense of parodic legalism runs throughout the novel, exposing the convenient and contrived moralizing of the wealthy.
