Austen's most popular novel, a captivating tale of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy
Many people have been charmed by the clever and independent nature of Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she finds him to be arrogant and conceited, while he seems indifferent to her beauty and intelligence. However, when Elizabeth discovers Darcy's involvement in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her dear sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him even more. Through this sparkling comedy of manners, Jane Austen demonstrates the folly of judging others based on initial impressions and skillfully portrays the friendships, gossip, and snobbery of middle-class life in the provincial society. This edition of Penguin Classics, based on Austen's original version, includes the introductory essay written by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.
