AUSTEN JANE PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Pride and Prejudice is the most popular of Austen's six remarkable novels. Full of crackling
dialogue  it achieves the finest balance of comedy and reflection  liveliness and solemnity.
While revealing the restrictive life of genteel women at the turn of the nineteenth century  it
provides as the central consciousness  the clever  witty  and flirtatious Elizabeth Bennet 
arguably Austen's most alluring heroine. One of the great love stories of English literature 
the novel has spawned countless films and fantasies. In its brilliant balance of psychological
observation and social comedy  the original effortlessly survives its global exploitation. The
novels Austen wrote later in life were more complex but  drafted when the author was close to
her heroine's age of twenty  Pride and Prejudice remains her most vivacious and sparkling work.
Prefaces and explanatory endnotes supplied by Janet Todd illuminate the cultural  historical
and literary context  bringing Jane Austen's world to life.
