    I avoided reading this novel since high school, as I thought it sounded tremendously boring. In the same way that people who have never really had to do much public speaking work up an irrational fear of it because of others' fear of it, I feared this novel would be a complete snorefest and kept my distance. As an English major in undergrad, it finally caught up with me in a 19th century British fiction class. To my great and pleasant surprise, I found myself caught up in the timeless, though predictable, "courtship" between Darcy and Elizabeth, but most of all, Austen's clever prose and the hilarious Mr. Bennet. Set your fears aside and take the plunge--it's worth the time.

  • What can I say? I love Liz - strong, knowledgable, and bold.

    Or maybe I'm looking for Mr. Darcy too!

Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighborhood, the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and
their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and
love.

In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. This new edition includes a new introduction, updated notes, and new appendices on social rank and dancing in 19th-century England.
