About the Book: Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English
language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its
vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared
in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud
beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane
Austens radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of
flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of
Regency England. Over 200 years after its publication, it continues to win the
hearts
