Jane Austen's 1813 masterpiece humorously relates the complex mating rituals of Regency England society, as Mrs. Bennet hopes to find rich husbands for her five daughters, who will become destitute if they do not marry well. Mr. Bingley, a gentleman of good fortune, is easily charmed by Jane. But his friend Mr. Darcy's excessive pride offends Elizabeth, who quickly becomes prejudiced against him. This delightful romp is full of romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and happy endings for those who deserve them.

This delightful romp is full of romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and happy endings for those who deserve them.","v1_",[4669,4670],{"_225":4983,"_236":4985},{"_227":4984,"_229":230},"15.99",{"_227":4984,"_229":230},{"_225":4987,"_236":4988},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_240":4990},[4991],{"_37":4992,"_61":4993,"_222":-5,"_63":4994,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/49025381007600","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/67698071.jpg?v=1751712642",388,600,{"_240":4997},[4998],{"_37":4999,"_193":5000},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/40697788760304",{"_37":5001,"_61":4993,"_222":-5,"_63":4994,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/40727352312048",[5003],{"_253":254,"_4697":5004},[5005],{"_253":256,"_4700":5006,"_4710":-5},{"_231":8,"_244":-5,"_37":5007,"_193":5008,"_246":5009,"_248":5010,"_250":5011,"_257":4977,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47013258068208",{"_204":4704,"_37":4992,"_61":4993,"_222":-5,"_63":4994,"_57":4995},{"_227":4984,"_229":230},{"_79":4975,"_210":4977},[5012],{"_253":254,"_255":256},{"_231":8,"_244":-5,"_37":5007,"_193":5014,"_246":5015,"_248":5016,"_250":5017,"_257":4977,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},{"_204":4704,"_37":4992,"_61":4993,"_222":-5,"_63":4994,"_57":4995},{"_227":4984,"_229":230},{"_79":4975,"_210":4977},[5018],{"_253":254,"_255":256},[],{"_212":-5,"_79":-5},{"_255":4977},{"_255":4724},{"_255":4726},{"_255":5025},"2010-05-19T04:00:00Z",{"_255":4933},{"_255":5028},"320",{"_255":5030},"8.5",{"_255":5032},"5.5",{"_255":5034},"0.72",{"_255":4671},{"_255":4753},{"_255":5038},"[\"Educator Discount Program (p431)\"]",{"_255":5040},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"firstName\":\"Jane\",\"lastName\":\"Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"jobPrimary\":true,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":11146331,\"firstName\":\"Wayne\",\"lastName\":\"Josephson\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"jobPrimary\":false,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_255":4763},{"_255":5043},"14",{"_255":4769},{"_255":4772},{"_4775":4776,"_255":4777},[5048,5049,5050,5052,5053,-5,5054,-5,5055,5056,5057,-5,-5,-5,5059,-5,-5,-5,-5,5060,5062,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,5064,5065,-5,-5,-5],{"_266":267,"_268":299,"_255":4763},{"_266":267,"_268":4765,"_255":5043},{"_266":267,"_268":269,"_255":5051},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"fullName\":\"Jane Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":11146331,\"fullName\":\"Wayne Josephson\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_266":267,"_268":281,"_255":4671},{"_266":267,"_268":284,"_255":4671},{"_266":267,"_268":291,"_255":4789},{"_266":267,"_268":4721,"_255":4977},{"_266":267,"_268":307,"_255":4724},{"_266":267,"_268":4807,"_255":5058},"[{\"Key\":\"ebookEAN\",\"Value\":\"2940013035201\"}]",{"_266":267,"_268":303,"_255":4726},{"_266":267,"_268":4797,"_255":5061},"[\"Fiction\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Love & Relationships -

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.",[4669,4670],"Audio CD",{"_225":5173,"_236":5175},{"_227":5174,"_229":230},"27.6",{"_227":5174,"_229":230},{"_225":5177,"_236":5178},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_240":5180},[5181],{"_37":5182,"_61":5183,"_222":-5,"_63":5184,"_57":5184},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/48968550842608","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/115428863.jpg?v=1751468736",185,{"_240":5186},[5187],{"_37":5188,"_193":5189},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/40660017578224",{"_37":5190,"_61":5183,"_222":-5,"_63":5184,"_57":5184},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/40688986194160",[5192],{"_253":254,"_4697":5193},[5194],{"_253":256,"_4700":5195,"_4710":-5},{"_231":8,"_244":-5,"_37":5196,"_193":5197,"_246":5198,"_248":5199,"_250":5200,"_257":5167,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47016071725296",{"_204":4704,"_37":5182,"_61":5183,"_222":-5,"_63":5184,"_57":5184},{"_227":5174,"_229":230},{"_79":5165,"_210":5167},[5201],{"_253":254,"_255":256},{"_231":8,"_244":-5,"_37":5196,"_193":5203,"_246":5204,"_248":5205,"_250":5206,"_257":5167,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},{"_204":4704,"_37":5182,"_61":5183,"_222":-5,"_63":5184,"_57":5184},{"_227":5174,"_229":230},{"_79":5165,"_210":5167},[5207],{"_253":254,"_255":256},[],{"_212":-5,"_79":-5},{"_255":5167},{"_255":4724},{"_255":4726},{"_255":5214},"2003-01-28T05:00:00Z",{"_255":4933},{"_255":4069},{"_255":4941},{"_255":5219},"6.0",{"_255":5126},{"_255":5171},{"_255":4753},{"_255":5224},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"firstName\":\"Jane\",\"lastName\":\"Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"jobPrimary\":true,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":1541693,\"firstName\":\"Joanna\",\"lastName\":\"David\",\"jobName\":\"Read by\",\"jobPrimary\":false,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_255":5226},"Pride-And-Prejudice/Jane-Austen",{"_255":5228},"10",{"_255":4769},{"_255":4772},{"_4775":4776,"_255":5232},"CD",[5234,5235,5236,5238,5239,-5,5240,5242,5244,5245,-5,-5,-5,-5,5246,-5,-5,-5,-5,5247,5249,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,5251,5252,-5,-5,-5],{"_266":267,"_268":299,"_255":5226},{"_266":267,"_268":4765,"_255":5228},{"_266":267,"_268":269,"_255":5237},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"fullName\":\"Jane Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":1541693,\"fullName\":\"Joanna David\",\"jobName\":\"Read by\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_266":267,"_268":281,"_255":5171},{"_266":267,"_268":284,"_255":5171},{"_266":267,"_268":291,"_255":5241},"257",{"_266":267,"_268":295,"_255":5243},"[{\"id\":\"43010910T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"1\",\"text\":\"

Pride and Prejudice

Volume One
Chapter One

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of nextweek.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the bestof the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be any thing extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying which ever he chuses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to developer She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

It is now almost exactly two centuries since the first two of Jane Austen's six completed novels - Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice - were published, and for much of that time writers and critics have passionately disagreed about the true caliber of her work. Austen's books received a few respectful reviews and lively attention from the reading public during her lifetime, but it wasn't until nearly thirty years after her death that some critics began to recognize her enduring artistic accomplishment--and others to debate it.

In 1843, the historian Thomas Macaulay called Austen the writer to "have approached nearest to the manner of the great master" Shakespeare; Charlotte Brontë felt, on the contrary, that "the Passions are perfectly unknown to her.... Jane Austen was a complete and most sensible lady, but a very incomplete, and rather insensible (not senseless) woman." Anthony Trollope made up his mind as a young man that "Pride and Prejudice was the best novel in the language," while Mark Twain claimed to feel an "animal repugnance" for Austen's writing.

Austen herself would probably not have disagreed with many of her detractors' objections. She acknowledged that her themes and concerns were limited; she described them as "human nature in the midland counties." "Three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on," she wrote in a letter to her niece; and in another, now famous letter to her brother Edward, she described her art as "the little bit (two inches wide) of ivory on which I work with so fine a brush, as to produce little effect, after much labour."

It is true that great historical events and political concerns appear only obliquely, if at all, in the background of Austen's stories; that she deals with the spiritual condition of the human soul only insofar as it manifests itself in her characters' manners and taste in spouses; that the intellectual issues of her day appear in her novels primarily as a vehicle for revealing character and spoofing fashion. Even Austen's great early champion, the critic G. H. Lewes, had to admit the truth of Charlotte Brontë's objection that Austen's style lacked poetry, and that her "exquisite" work would appeal only to readers who didn't require "strong lights and shadows." But in spite of these limitations, the particular genius and lasting appeal of Austen's writing has only become clearer and more certain as the decades pass and literary fashions come and go.

What is Austen's particular genius? And what might account for the renaissance of popular interest in her work today--one reflected in the recently acclaimed television and feature film productions of Sense and Sensibility (with an Oscar-winning screenplay by Emma Thompson), Pride and Prejudice (an A&E miniseries), the art house hit Persuasion, and the upcoming release of Emma, as well as the Emma-inspired Clueless, now atop video rental charts?

"Of all great writers," Virginia Woolf said, "she is the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness." But perhaps Austen herself gave us a clue to the standards for greatness she set herself, and a way to judge her achievement, when in Northanger Abbey she has a character say: "'Oh! it is only a novel!' or, in short, only some work in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusion of wit and humour are to be conveyed to the world in the best chosen language."

Austen's delightful wit is certainly one of the great pleasures of her work. As to "the best chosen language," while her writing conveys none of the lyricism of the Romantics (like Brontë) who would succeed her, it is full of intelligence and precisely crafted to convey its often subtle meaning. But Austen's strongest suit is her thorough knowledge and happy delineation of human nature. We can still, despite the vast differences between her society and our own, recognize ourselves in the ways her characters think and behave. We all know people as cleverly manipulative and outwardly affectionate as Lucy Steele or Miss Bingley; as self-involved as Fanny Dashwood or Lady Catherine de Bourgh; and as charming but as lacking in scruples as John Willoughby or Colonel Wickham. We are in turns impulsive and hyper-responsible like Marianne and Elinor Dashwood; conceal ourselves with arrogance like Mr. Darcy; assume we understand more than we do like Elizabeth Bennet; and revel in gossip, like Mrs. Jennings. And while the great events and philosophical movements of history play themselves out around us, it is our own nature and actions, and the nature and actions of the people around us, that most influence our lives.

In her own day, Austen's work signified a break with the Gothic and sentimental novels that had long been fashionable, in which heroines were always virtuous, romance was always sentimentalized, and unlikely but convenient coincidences and acts of God always occurred to bring about the dramatic climax. Instead Austen represented the ordinary world of men and women as it--sometimes mundanely--was, a place where love and romance were constrained by economics and human imperfection; where women had distinct and often sparkling personalities; where characters were never simply good or evil but more complicated amalgams, reflecting both their own moral nature and the virtues and failings of the families and society that shaped them.

In these ways, Austen seems very much in tune with today's sensibilities. We love her strong, unpretentious heroines ("Pictures of perfection as you know make me sick & wicked," Austen said of them), who think for themselves and say what they mean when appropriate and don't take themselves too seriously. They are not, in today's parlance, victims. We are as interested as ever in Austen's favorite subjects of love and marriage, while also identifying with her steadfast refusal to romanticize romance; with her acknowledgment that money, class, and what other people think matter in the real world; that marriage does not result in a happy ending for everyone; and that it is dangerous to let passion blind us to reality. Living amidst the cultural fallout from the self-absorbed, sensibility-prone 1960s, we appreciate Austen's emphasis on reason, moderation, fidelity, and consideration for others.

Austen wrote her books at the dawn of the nineteenth century, when vast social changes were already encroaching on the way of life she so loved and rendered with such exquisite artistry. We read her books today on the cusp of a new century, with an unfathomable world creeping up on us, too--one globally interconnected, technologically complex, economically uncertain. Perhaps we find on Austen's rural estates and in her charming, insular society the same peace and pleasure she found there; and an analogue for the simpler, more circumscribed world of our own childhoods, itself passing quickly away into history.

The time in which Jane Austen wrote her novels was a period of great stability just about to give way to a time of unimagined changes. At that time most of England's population (some thirteen million) were involved in rural and agricultural work: yet within another twenty years, the majority of Englishmen became urban dwellers involved with industry, and the great railway age had begun. Throughout the early years of the century the cities were growing at a great rate; the network of canals was completed, the main roads were being remade. Regency London, in particular, boomed and became, among other things, a great centre of fashion. On the other hand, England in the first decade of the nineteenth century was still predominantly a land of country towns and villages, a land of rural routines which were scarcely touched by the seven campaigns of the Peninsular War against Napoleon.

But if Austen's age was still predominantly one of rural quiet, it was also the age of the French Revolution, the War of American Independence, the start of the Industrial Revolution, and the first generation of the Romantic poets; and Jane Austen was certainly not unaware of what was going on in the world around her. She had two brothers in the Royal Navy and a cousin whose husband was guillotined in the Terror. And although her favourite prose writer was Dr. Samuel Johnson, she clearly knew the works of writers like Goethe, Worsdworth, Scott, Byron, Southey, Godwin and other, very definitely nineteenth-century, authors.

If Jane Austen seems to have lived a life of placid rural seclusion in north Hampshire, she was at the same time very aware of a whole range of new energies and impulses, new ideas and powers, which were changing or about to change England--and indeed the whole western world--with a violence, a suddenness, and a heedlessness, which would soon make Jane Austen's world seem as remote as the Elizabethan Age. It is well to remember that in the early years of the century, when Thomas Arnold saw his first train tearing through the Rugby countryside he said: "Feudality is gone forever." So close was it possible then to feel to the immemorial, static feudal way of life; so quickly was that way of life to vanish as the modern world laboured to be born.

ABOUT THE TITLE

Pride and Prejudice has always been, since its publication in 1813, Austen's most popular novel. The story of a sparkling, irrepressible heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, the behavior of whose family leaves much to be desired, and Mr. Darcy, a very rich and seemingly rude young man who initially finds Elizabeth "tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me," is, in the words of the Penguin Classics edition editor Tony Tanner, a novel about how a man changes his manners and a woman changes her mind. Through the ages, its chief delights for readers have been its flawed but charming heroine ("I think [Elizabeth] as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print," Austen herself wrote to her sister, Cassandra); its humorous treatment of a serious subject; brilliant and witty dialogue laced with irony; a cast of humorous minor characters; and Austen's nearly magical development of a complex but believable love relationship between two complex people.

Critics have pointed to many ways in which Pride and Prejudice represents Austen's development and greater mastery of technique and artistry over Sense and Sensibility; perhaps the chief being that the conflict of the story is of the central characters' own making; and that a lively narrator more often appears to present material and to offer comment.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jane Austen, seventh of the eight children of Reverend George and Cassandra Leigh Austen, was born on December 16, 1775, in the small village of Steventon in Hampshire, England. Her childhood was happy: her home was full of books and many friends and her parents encouraged both their children's intellectual interests and their passion for producing and performing in amateur theatricals. Austen's closest relationship, one that would endure throughout her life, was with her beloved only sister, Cassandra.

From about the time she was twelve years old, Austen began writing spirited parodies of the popular Gothic and sentimental fiction of the day for the amusement of her family. Chock-full of stock characters, vapid and virtuous heroines, and improbable coincidences, these early works reveal in nascent form many of her literary gifts: particularly her ironic sensibility, wit, and gift for comedy. Attempts at more sustained, serious works began around 1794 with a novel in letters - a popular form at the time - called Lady Susan, and in the years immediately following with two more epistolary novels - one called Elinor and Marianne, the other First Impressions - that would evolve into Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. Lady Susan, later revised and entitled Northanger Abbey, also was begun in that period.

From 1799 to 1809, little is known of Austen's life or literary endeavors, other than that upon her father's retirement she moved unhappily from her beloved home in Steventon to Bath; that he died a few years thereafter and she moved to Southampton; and that she began, but did not complete, a novel called The Watsons. A move back to the country in 1808 - to a cottage on one of her brother's properties in Chawton - seems to have revived her interest in writing.

Her revised version of Elinor and Marianne - Sense and Sensibility - was published, like all the work which appeared in print in her lifetime, anonymously, in 1811; and between the time Pride and Prejudice was accepted for publication and the time it actually appeared, she wrote Mansfield Park. Emma appeared in 1816 and was reviewed favorably by the most popular novelist of the day, Sir Walter Scott, who said:

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

Though all her novels were concerned with courtship, love, and marriage, Austen never married. There is some evidence that she had several flirtations with eligible men in her early twenties, and speculation that in 1802 she agreed to marry the heir of a Hampshire family but then changed her mind. Austen rigorously guarded her privacy, and after her death, her family censored and destroyed many of her letters. Little is known of her personal experience or her favorite subjects. However, Austen's reputation as a "dowdy bluestocking," as literary critic Ronald Blythe points out, is far from accurate: "she loved balls, cards, wine, music, country walks, conversation, children, and bad as well as excellent novels."

In 1816, as she worked to complete her novel Persuasion, Austen's health began to fail. She continued to work, preparing Northanger Abbey for publication, and began a light-hearted, satirical work called Sanditon which she never finished. She died at the age of forty-two on July 18, 1817, in the arms of her beloved sister, Cassandra, of what historians now believe to have been Addison's disease.

The identity of "A Lady" who wrote the popular novels was known in her lifetime only to her family and a few elite readers, among them the Prince Regent, who invited Austen to visit his library and "permitted" her to dedicate Emma to him (unaware, no doubt, that she loathed him). But Austen deliberately avoided literary circles; in Ronald Blythe's words, "literature, not the literary life, was always her intention." It was not until the December following her death, when Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published, that "a biographical notice of the author" by Austen's brother Henry appeared in the books, revealing to the reading public for the first time the name of Jane Austen.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

RELATED TITLES

Northanger Abbey

Edited with an Introduction by Marilyn Butler

This lighthearted romance, generally agreed to be Austen's earliest major novel, though it was not published until after her death, is also a high-spirited burlesque of the sentimental and Gothic novels of her day. When the charmingly imperfect heroine, Catherine Morland, visits Northanger Abbey, she meets all the trappings of Gothic horror, and imagines the worst. Fortunately, she has at hand her own fundamental good sense and irresistible but unsentimental hero, Henry Tilney. Real disaster does eventually strike, but doesn't spoil for too long the happy atmosphere of this delightful novel.

Mansfield Park

Edited with an Introduction by Tony Tanner

More varied in scene and conceived on a bigger scale than Austen's earlier books, Mansfield Park (1814) can be seen as an image of quiet resistance at the start of what was to be the most convulsive century of change in English history. In telling the story of Fanny Price, the quiet and sensitive daughter of a lower-middle-class Portsmouth family who is brought up in - and after much suffering eventually becomes mistress of - elegant Mansfield Park, Austen draws on her usual cool irony and psychological insight while also portraying a less immediately winning heroine in a more complex light.

Emma

Edited with an Introduction by Ronald Blythe

Many writers and critics consider Emma (1816), the last of Austen's novels published in her lifetime, the climax of her genius. Dominating the novel is the character of Emma Woodhouse - vital, interesting, complex, and predisposed to playing power games with other people's emotions. Austen called her a heroine "no one but myself would like," but she endures as one of Austen's immortal creations. Charting how Emma's disastrous foray as a matchmaker precipitates a crisis in the small provincial world of Highbury, and in her own heart, this novel of self-deceit and self-discovery sparkles with intelligence, wit, and irony.

Persuasion

Edited with an Introduction by D.W. Harding

Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth had met and separated years before. Their reunion forces a recognition of the false values that drove them apart. The characters who embody those values are the subjects of some of the most withering satire that Austen ever wrote. Like its predecessors, Persuasion (published after her death in 1818) is a tale of love and marriage, told with Austen's distinctive irony and insight. But the heroine - like the author - is more mature; the tone of the writing more somber.

Also included in this edition is the pioneering biography of Austen written fifty years after her death by her nephew, J. E. Austen-Leigh, which outlines the essential facts of Austen's life while also reflecting the Victorian era's limited comprehension of her achievements.

Lady Susan/The Watsons/Sanditon

Edited with an Introduction by Margaret Drabble

These three works - one novel unpublished in her lifetime and two unfinished fragments - reveal Austen's development as a great artist. Lady Susan is a sparkling melodrama, written in epistolary form, featuring a beautiful, intelligent, and wicked heroine. The Watsons, probably written when Austen resided unhappily in Bath and abandoned after her father's death, is a tantalizing fragment centering on the marital prospects of the Watson sisters in a small provincial town. Sanditon, Austen's last fiction, reflects her growing concern with the new speculative consumer society and foreshadows the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution.

It is now almost exactly two centuries since the first two of Jane Austen's six completed novels—Sense and Sensibility andPride and Prejudice—were published, and for much of that time writers and critics have passionately disagreed about the true caliber of her work. Austen's books received a few respectful reviews and lively attention from the reading public during her lifetime, but it wasn't until nearly thirty years after her death that some critics began to recognize her enduring artistic accomplishment—and others to debate it.

In 1843, the historian Thomas Macaulay called Austen the writer to \\\"have approached nearest to the manner of the great master\\\" Shakespeare; Charlotte Brontë felt, on the contrary, that \\\"the Passions are perfectly unknown to her.... Jane Austen was a complete and most sensible lady, but a very incomplete, and rather insensible (not senseless) woman.\\\" Anthony Trollope made up his mind as a young man that \\\"Pride and Prejudice was the best novel in the language,\\\" while Mark Twain claimed to feel an \\\"animal repugnance\\\" for Austen's writing.

Austen herself would probably not have disagreed with many of her detractors' objections. She acknowledged that her themes and concerns were limited; she described them as \\\"human nature in the midland counties.\\\" \\\"Three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on,\\\" she wrote in a letter to her niece; and in another, now famous letter to her brother Edward, she described her art as \\\"the little bit (two inches wide) of ivory on which I work with so fine a brush, as to produce little effect, after much labour.\\\"

It is true that great historical events and political concerns appear only obliquely, if at all, in the background of Austen's stories; that she deals with the spiritual condition of the human soul only insofar as it manifests itself in her characters' manners and taste in spouses; that the intellectual issues of her day appear in her novels primarily as a vehicle for revealing character and spoofing fashion. Even Austen's great early champion, the critic G. H. Lewes, had to admit the truth of Charlotte Brontë's objection that Austen's style lacked poetry, and that her \\\"exquisite\\\" work would appeal only to readers who didn't require \\\"strong lights and shadows.\\\" But in spite of these limitations, the particular genius and lasting appeal of Austen's writing has only become clearer and more certain as the decades pass and literary fashions come and go.

What is Austen's particular genius? And what might account for the renaissance of popular interest in her work today—one reflected in the recently acclaimed television and feature film productions of Sense and Sensibility (with an Oscar-winning screenplay by Emma Thompson), Pride and Prejudice (an A&E miniseries), the art house hit Persuasion, and the upcoming release of Emma, as well as the Emma-inspired Clueless, now atop video rental charts?

Adapted from the Introduction to the Penguin Classics edition of Mansfield Park.

Pride and Prejudice has always been, since its publication in 1813, Austen's most popular novel. The story of a sparkling, irrepressible heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, the behavior of whose family leaves much to be desired, and Mr. Darcy, a very rich and seemingly rude young man who initially finds Elizabeth \\\"tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me,\\\" is, in the words of the Penguin Classics edition editor Tony Tanner, a novel about how a man changes his manners and a woman changes her mind. Through the ages, its chief delights for readers have been its flawed but charming heroine (\\\"I think [Elizabeth] as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print,\\\" Austen herself wrote to her sister, Cassandra); its humorous treatment of a serious subject; brilliant and witty dialogue laced with irony; a cast of humorous minor characters; and Austen's nearly magical development of a complex but believable love relationship between two complex people.

ABOUT JANE AUSTEN

From about the time she was twelve years old, Austen began writing spirited parodies of the popular Gothic and sentimental fiction of the day for the amusement of her family. Chock-full of stock characters, vapid and virtuous heroines, and improbable coincidences, these early works reveal in nascent form many of her literary gifts: particularly her ironic sensibility, wit, and gift for comedy. Attempts at more sustained, serious works began around 1794 with a novel in letters—a popular form at the time—called Lady Susan, and in the years immediately following with two more epistolary novels—one called Elinor and Marianne, the other First Impressions—that would evolve into Sense and Sensibilityand Pride and Prejudice. Lady Susan, later revised and entitled Northanger Abbey, also was begun in that period.

From 1799 to 1809, little is known of Austen's life or literary endeavors, other than that upon her father's retirement she moved unhappily from her beloved home in Steventon to Bath; that he died a few years thereafter and she moved to Southampton; and that she began, but did not complete, a novel called The Watsons. A move back to the country in 1808—to a cottage on one of her brother's properties in Chawton—seems to have revived her interest in writing.

Her revised version of Elinor and Marianne—Sense and Sensibility—was published, like all the work which appeared in print in her lifetime, anonymously, in 1811; and between the time Pride and Prejudice was accepted for publication and the time it actually appeared, she wrote Mansfield Park. Emma appeared in 1816 and was reviewed favorably by the most popular novelist of the day, Sir Walter Scott, who said:

The author's knowledge of the world, and the peculiar tact with which she presents characters that the reader cannot fail to recognize, reminds us something of the merits of the Flemish school of painting. The subjects are not often elegant, and certainly never grand; but they are finished up to nature, and with a precision which delights the reader.

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

Though all her novels were concerned with courtship, love, and marriage, Austen never married. There is some evidence that she had several flirtations with eligible men in her early twenties, and speculation that in 1802 she agreed to marry the heir of a Hampshire family but then changed her mind. Austen rigorously guarded her privacy, and after her death, her family censored and destroyed many of her letters. Little is known of her personal experience or her favorite subjects. However, Austen's reputation as a \\\"dowdy bluestocking,\\\" as literary critic Ronald Blythe points out, is far from accurate: \\\"she loved balls, cards, wine, music, country walks, conversation, children, and bad as well as excellent novels.\\\"

In 1816, as she worked to complete her novel Persuasion, Austen's health began to fail. She continued to work, preparingNorthanger Abbey for publication, and began a light-hearted, satirical work called Sanditon which she never finished. She died at the age of forty-two on July 18, 1817, in the arms of her beloved sister, Cassandra, of what historians now believe to have been Addison's disease.

The identity of \\\"A Lady\\\" who wrote the popular novels was known in her lifetime only to her family and a few elite readers, among them the Prince Regent, who invited Austen to visit his library and \\\"permitted\\\" her to dedicate Emma to him (unaware, no doubt, that she loathed him). But Austen deliberately avoided literary circles; in Ronald Blythe's words, \\\"literature, not the literary life, was always her intention.\\\" It was not until the December following her death, when Northanger Abbey andPersuasion were published, that \\\"a biographical notice of the author\\\" by Austen's brother Henry appeared in the books, revealing to the reading public for the first time the name of Jane Austen.

Lady Susan/The Watsons/Sanditon

Edited with an Introduction by Margaret Drabble

These three works—one novel unpublished in her lifetime and two unfinished fragments—reveal Austen's development as a great artist. Lady Susan is a sparkling melodrama, written in epistolary form, featuring a beautiful, intelligent, and wicked heroine. The Watsons, probably written when Austen resided unhappily in Bath and abandoned after her father's death, is a tantalizing fragment centering on the marital prospects of the Watson sisters in a small provincial town. Sanditon, Austen's last fiction, reflects her growing concern with the new speculative consumer society and foreshadows the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?

An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?

After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, \\\"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness.\\\" Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?

Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?

Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?

Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?

Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?

For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?

Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. \\\"This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel,\\\" he concludes, \\\"even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment.\\\" In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying which ever he chuses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develope. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

Chapter 1

IT IS a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves. \\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.\"},{\"id\":\"7650259T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"4\",\"text\":\"

Volume One
Chapter One

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one ofthem.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network.

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well asinau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. \"},{\"id\":\"7650355T\",\"type\":\"Fatbrain Author Description\",\"linkText\":\"Author Description\",\"typeId\":\"1102\",\"abbr\":\"FBA\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"1\",\"text\":\"

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817.

As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

No novel in English has given more pleasure than Pride and Prejudice. Because it is one of the great works in our literature, critics in every generation reexamine and reinterpret it. But the rest of us simply fall in love with it—and with its wonderfully charming and intelligent heroine, Elizabeth Bennet. And everyone is held fast not only by the novel’s romantic suspense but also by the fascinations of the world we visit. The life of the English country gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century is made as real to us as our own, not only by the author’s wit and feeling but by her subtle observation of the way people behave in society and how we are true or treacherous to each other and to ourselves.

“Jane Austen remains the most misunderstood of great English writers . . . Austen’s is an extended, exploratory, dangerously subversive art, and is neither harmlessly decorative nor picturesquely provincial . . . [Irony] is the secret of the perfect self-sufficiency of Pride and Prejudice.”—from the Introduction by Peter Conrad

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it."

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

"Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."

This was invitation enough.

"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week."

"What is his name?"

"Bingley."

"Is he married or single?"

"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!"

"How so? How can it affect them?"

"My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them."

"Is that his design in settling here?"

"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes."

"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party."

"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty."

"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of."

"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood."

"It is more than I engage for, I assure you."

"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not."

"You are over scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy."

"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference."

"They have none of them much to recommend them," replied he; "they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters."

"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves."

"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least."

"Ah! you do not know what I suffer."

"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood."

"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come since you will not visit them."

"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all."

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

Born the seventh child of the rector of Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, she was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family’s entertainment. As a clergyman’s daughter from a well-connected family, she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class, the gentry, and the aristocracy. At twenty-one, she began a novel called “The First Impressions” an early version of Pride and Prejudice. In 1801, on her father’s retirement, the family moved to the fashionable resort of Bath. Two years later she sold the first version of Northanger Abby to a London publisher, but the first of her novels to appear was Sense and Sensibility, published at her own expense in 1811. It was followed by Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815).

After her father died in 1805, the family first moved to Southampton then to Chawton Cottage in Hampshire. Despite this relative retirement, Jane Austen was still in touch with a wider world, mainly through her brothers; one had become a very rich country gentleman, another a London banker, and two were naval officers. Though her many novels were published anonymously, she had many early and devoted readers, among them the Prince Regent and Sir Walter Scott. In 1816, in declining health, Austen wrote Persuasion and revised Northanger Abby, Her last work, Sandition, was left unfinished at her death on July 18, 1817. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Austen’s identity as an author was announced to the world posthumously by her brother Henry, who supervised the publication of Northanger Abby and Persuasion in 1818.

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners is one of the most universally loved and admired English novels of all time.

Spirited Elizabeth Bennet is one of a family of five daughters, and with no male heir, the Bennet estate must someday pass to their priggish cousin William Collins. Therefore, the girls must marry well—and thus is launched the story of Elizabeth and the arrogant bachelor Mr. Darcy, in a novel renowned as the epitome of romance and wit. Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen’s masterwork, an entertaining portrait of matrimonial rites and rivalries, timeless in its hilarity and its honesty.

With an Introduction by Margaret Drabble and an Afterword by Eloisa James

Chapter 1

IT IS a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves. \\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.\"},{\"id\":\"29847277T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"3\",\"text\":\"

In this new edition, young readers have the opportunity to see the artistic inspiration behind the recent hit, Twilight. Elizabeth Bennet is appalled at Mr. Darcy's lack of sensitivity and manners. But when 16-year-old Lydia Bennet elopes with Mr. Wickham, Elizabeth sees Mr. Darcy in a new light. When Mr. Darcy helps arrange a match that saves Lydia from complete ruin, Elizabeth feels affection and respect for this handsome young man. Yet fate tears Darcy and Elizabeth apart, and it appears like they will never find each other across the polite and proper 18th century society. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bennet is determined to marry her five daughters off; she is delighted when Lydia and Jane get engaged. Readers will fall into this enchanting love story; this lovely edition is a companion to Romeo & Juliet and Wuthering Heights, which inspired the second and third books of the Twilight series.

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network.

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well asinau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. \"},{\"id\":\"29847292T\",\"type\":\"Reading Group Guide\",\"linkText\":\"Reading Group Guide\",\"typeId\":\"1021\",\"abbr\":\"RGG\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"3\",\"text\":\"

1. Pride and Prejudice was originally titled First Impressions. Critic Brian Southam notes that this phrase comes from the language of the sentimental novels Austen often criticized, where it connoted the idea that one ought to trust one's immediate, intuitive response to things. It is widely believed that Austen derived the later title from the fifth book of Cecilia, a novel by Fanny Burney, where the phrase appears (according to Austen biographer Park Honan, however, the phrase dates earlier, to a 1647 book by Jeremy Taylor called Liberty of Prophesying, and also appears in Gibbon's 1776 Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire). Anna Quindlen, in her Introduction to the Modern Library edition, indicates her preference for the second title ("Austen originally named the book First Impressions; thank God for second thoughts!"). Which do you think is the more appropriate title and why?

2. The famous opening line of Pride and Prejudice-"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife "-magnificently displays the irony that suffuses the novel at both local and structural levels. What is the purpose of irony in Pride and Prejudice!?

3. Austen was writing during a time when novels in the form of letters - called epistolary novels-were very popular. There are nearly two dozen letters quoted in whole or in part in Pride and Prejudice, and numerous other references to letters and letter - writing. How do you think letters function in the novel? How do the letters - a narrative element-interact with the dramatic element (manifested in thedialogue)?

4. A number of critics have maintained that Darcy is not a particularly well - developed or believable character, and that his transformation is a mere plot contrivance. Others have argued that this suggestion fails to take into account the fact that the reader in large part only sees Darcy through the prejudiced eyes of Elizabeth. Which side would you take in this debate, and why?

5. Pride and Prejudice has often been criticized for the fact that it appears unconcerned with the politics of Austen's day. For example, in a letter (written before World War 1) to Thomas Hardy, Frederic Harrison refers to Austen as a "heartless little cynic" who composed "satirettes against her neighbors whilst the Dynasts were tearing the world to pieces and consigning millions to their graves." Is this charge fair?

6. Charlotte Bronte wrote in an 1848 letter to G. H. Lewes: Why do you like Miss Austen so very much? I am puzzled on that point. What induced you to say that you would have rather written Pride and Prejudice, or Tom Jones, than any of the Waverley Novels? I had not seen Pride and Prejudice till I read that sentence of yours, and then I got the book. And what did I find? An accurate, daguerreotyped portrait of a commonplace face; a carefully - fenced, highly - cultivated garden, with neat borders and delicate flowers; but no glance of a bright, vivid physiognomy, no open country, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen, in their elegant but confined houses. Do you agree with Bronte's claim that there is no poetry or passion in Pride and Prejudice, and her conclusion that "Miss Austen being ... without sentiment, without poetry, maybe is sensible, real (more real than true), but she cannot be great"?

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Like many girls of her day, she was educated at home, where she began her literary career by writing parodies and skits for the amusement of her large family. Although Austen did not marry, she did have several suitors and once accepted a marriage proposal, but only for an evening. Although Austen never lived apart from her family, her work shows a worldly and wise sensibility. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, published together posthumously in 1818.

Margaret Drabble is the highly acclaimed novelist, biographer, and editor of The Oxford Companion to English Literature. Her novels include The Gates of Ivory, The Seven Sisters, and The Red Queen.

New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James’s historical Regencies have been published to great acclaim; People magazine raved that “romance writing does not get much better than this.” Her numerous novels have repeatedly received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, and regularly appear on the bestseller lists. James is also a professor of English literature at Fordham University.\"}]",{"_266":267,"_268":4721,"_255":5636},{"_266":267,"_268":307,"_255":4724},{"_266":267,"_268":4807,"_255":5726},"[{\"Key\":\"ebookEAN\",\"Value\":\"9781101099063\"}]",{"_266":267,"_268":4793,"_255":5728},"142610",{"_266":267,"_268":303,"_255":4726},{"_266":267,"_268":4797,"_255":5731},"[\"Fiction\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Love & Relationships -

Her novels were all written and set around Regency Era. The theme of her stories centered upon the limited provincial world in which she lived for the first twenty-six years of her life. She never married and died at age 41. She began writing her first novel in 1789. Her family life was conducive to writing; the Austen family often enacted plays, which gave her an opportunity to present her stories. Her close analysis of character displayed both a warm sense of humour and a hardy realism: vanity, selfishness and a lack of self-knowledge are among the faults most severely judged in her novels. Criticized for being repetitive, her plots are nonetheless well structured, and reveal a sincere love of perfection and minutiae of detail that she believed was one of the prerogatives of any potential writer. Amongst her famous works are: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey (1818), and Persuasion (1818).",[4669,4670],{"_225":5912,"_236":5914},{"_227":5913,"_229":230},"21.95",{"_227":5913,"_229":230},{"_225":5916,"_236":5918},{"_227":5917,"_229":230},"25.99",{"_227":5917,"_229":230},{"_240":5920},[5921],{"_37":5922,"_61":5923,"_222":-5,"_63":2090,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/49361946083568","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/24357703.jpg?v=1753495818",{"_240":5925},[5926],{"_37":5927,"_193":5928},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/40917074575600",{"_37":5929,"_61":5923,"_222":-5,"_63":2090,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/40949680439536",[5931],{"_253":254,"_4697":5932},[5933],{"_253":256,"_4700":5934,"_4710":-5},{"_231":8,"_244":5935,"_37":5936,"_193":5937,"_246":5938,"_248":5939,"_250":5940,"_257":5908,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},{"_227":5917,"_229":230},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47040939163888",{"_204":4704,"_37":5922,"_61":5923,"_222":-5,"_63":2090,"_57":4995},{"_227":5913,"_229":230},{"_79":5906,"_210":5908},[5941],{"_253":254,"_255":256},{"_231":8,"_244":5943,"_37":5936,"_193":5944,"_246":5945,"_248":5946,"_250":5947,"_257":5908,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},{"_227":5917,"_229":230},{"_204":4704,"_37":5922,"_61":5923,"_222":-5,"_63":2090,"_57":4995},{"_227":5913,"_229":230},{"_79":5906,"_210":5908},[5948],{"_253":254,"_255":256},[],{"_212":-5,"_79":-5},{"_255":5908},{"_255":4724},{"_255":4726},{"_255":5955},"2007-10-19T04:00:00Z",{"_255":4732},{"_255":5958},"2007-10-15T04:00:00Z",{"_255":5960},"348",{"_255":5509},{"_255":5219},{"_255":5964},"0.78",{"_255":5316},{"_255":5603},{"_255":4671},{"_255":4753},{"_255":5038},{"_255":4758},{"_255":5226},{"_255":5043},{"_255":4769},{"_255":4772},{"_4775":4776,"_255":4777},[5977,5978,5979,5980,5981,-5,5982,5983,5985,5986,5987,-5,-5,-5,5988,-5,-5,-5,-5,5989,5990,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,5991,5992,-5,-5,-5],{"_266":267,"_268":299,"_255":5226},{"_266":267,"_268":4765,"_255":5043},{"_266":267,"_268":269,"_255":4785},{"_266":267,"_268":281,"_255":4671},{"_266":267,"_268":284,"_255":4671},{"_266":267,"_268":291,"_255":4789},{"_266":267,"_268":295,"_255":5984},"[{\"id\":\"23908578T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"1\",\"text\":\"

Chapter One

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. The story shows how Elizabeth deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency.

Jane Austen is famous for her six novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Her works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.

The story shows how Elizabeth deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency.Jane Austen is famous for her six novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Her works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.",[4669,4670],{"_225":6003,"_236":6005},{"_227":6004,"_229":230},"39.95",{"_227":6004,"_229":230},{"_225":6007,"_236":6008},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_240":6010},[6011],{"_37":6012,"_61":6013,"_222":-5,"_63":6014,"_57":5561},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/50472461533424","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/310906918.jpg?v=1758841105",942,{"_240":6016},[6017],{"_37":6018,"_193":6019},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/41674601201904",{"_37":6020,"_61":6013,"_222":-5,"_63":6014,"_57":5561},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/41716204306672",[6022],{"_253":254,"_4697":6023},[6024],{"_253":256,"_4700":6025,"_4710":-5},{"_231":8,"_244":-5,"_37":6026,"_193":6027,"_246":6028,"_248":6029,"_250":6030,"_257":5998,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47042617082096",{"_204":4704,"_37":6012,"_61":6013,"_222":-5,"_63":6014,"_57":5561},{"_227":6004,"_229":230},{"_79":5996,"_210":5998},[6031],{"_253":254,"_255":256},{"_231":8,"_244":-5,"_37":6026,"_193":6033,"_246":6034,"_248":6035,"_250":6036,"_257":5998,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":122},{"_204":4704,"_37":6012,"_61":6013,"_222":-5,"_63":6014,"_57":5561},{"_227":6004,"_229":230},{"_79":5996,"_210":5998},[6037],{"_253":254,"_255":256},[],{"_212":-5,"_79":-5},{"_255":5998},{"_255":4724},{"_255":4726},{"_255":6044},"2015-10-16T04:00:00Z",{"_255":4732},{"_255":6047},"2015-10-12T04:00:00Z",{"_255":6049},"306",{"_255":5509},{"_255":5219},{"_255":6053},"0.81",{"_255":4888},{"_255":4753},{"_255":4758},{"_255":4763},{"_255":4015},{"_255":4769},{"_255":4772},{"_4775":4776,"_255":4952},[6063,6064,6065,6066,6067,-5,6068,-5,6069,6070,-5,-5,-5,-5,6071,-5,-5,-5,-5,6072,6074,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,6076,6077,-5,-5,-5],{"_266":267,"_268":299,"_255":4763},{"_266":267,"_268":4765,"_255":4015},{"_266":267,"_268":269,"_255":4785},{"_266":267,"_268":281,"_255":4888},{"_266":267,"_268":284,"_255":4888},{"_266":267,"_268":291,"_255":4960},{"_266":267,"_268":4721,"_255":5998},{"_266":267,"_268":307,"_255":4724},{"_266":267,"_268":303,"_255":4726},{"_266":267,"_268":4797,"_255":6073},"[\"Fiction\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Love & Relationships -

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

This was invitation enough.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

Chapter 1

IT IS a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves. \\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.\"},{\"id\":\"46652881T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"3\",\"text\":\"

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network.

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well asinau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.\"},{\"id\":\"46652901T\",\"type\":\"Reading Group Guide\",\"linkText\":\"Reading Group Guide\",\"typeId\":\"1021\",\"abbr\":\"RGG\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"3\",\"text\":\"INTRODUCTION

It is true that great historical events and political concerns appear only obliquely, if at all, in the background of Austen's stories; that she deals with the spiritual condition of the human soul only insofar as it manifests itself in her characters' manners and taste in spouses; that the intellectual issues of her day appear in her novels primarily as a vehicle for revealing character and spoofing fashion. Even Austen's great early champion, the critic G. H. Lewes, had to admit the truth of Charlotte Brontë's objection that Austen's style lacked poetry, and that her \\\"exquisite\\\" work would appeal only to readers who didn't require \\\"strong lights and shadows.\\\" But in spite of these limitations, the particular genius and lasting appeal of Austen's writing has only become clearer and more certain as the decades pass and literary fashions come and go.

In her own day, Austen's work signified a break with the Gothic and sentimental novels that had long been fashionable, in which heroines were always virtuous, romance was always sentimentalized, and unlikely but convenient coincidences and acts of God always occurred to bring about the dramatic climax. Instead Austen represented the ordinary world of men and women as it—sometimes mundanely—was, a place where love and romance were constrained by economics and human imperfection; where women had distinct and often sparkling personalities; where characters were never simply good or evil but more complicated amalgams, reflecting both their own moral nature and the virtues and failings of the families and society that shaped them.

Austen wrote her books at the dawn of the nineteenth century, when vast social changes were already encroaching on the way of life she so loved and rendered with such exquisite artistry. We read her books today on the cusp of a new century, with an unfathomable world creeping up on us, too—one globally interconnected, technologically complex, economically uncertain. Perhaps we find on Austen's rural estates and in her charming, insular society the same peace and pleasure she found there; and an analogue for the simpler, more circumscribed world of our own childhoods, itself passing quickly away into history.

If Jane Austen seems to have lived a life of placid rural seclusion in north Hampshire, she was at the same time very aware of a whole range of new energies and impulses, new ideas and powers, which were changing or about to change England—and indeed the whole western world—with a violence, a suddenness, and a heedlessness, which would soon make Jane Austen's world seem as remote as the Elizabethan Age. It is well to remember that in the early years of the century, when Thomas Arnold saw his first train tearing through the Rugby countryside he said: \\\"Feudality is gone forever.\\\" So close was it possible then to feel to the immemorial, static feudal way of life; so quickly was that way of life to vanish as the modern world laboured to be born.

Adapted from the Introduction to the Penguin Classics edition of Mansfield Park.

Pride and Prejudice has always been, since its publication in 1813, Austen's most popular novel. The story of a sparkling, irrepressible heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, the behavior of whose family leaves much to be desired, and Mr. Darcy, a very rich and seemingly rude young man who initially finds Elizabeth \\\"tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me,\\\" is, in the words of the Penguin Classics edition editor Tony Tanner, a novel about how a man changes his manners and a woman changes her mind. Through the ages, its chief delights for readers have been its flawed but charming heroine (\\\"I think [Elizabeth] as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print,\\\" Austen herself wrote to her sister, Cassandra); its humorous treatment of a serious subject; brilliant and witty dialogue laced with irony; a cast of humorous minor characters; and Austen's nearly magical development of a complex but believable love relationship between two complex people.

ABOUT JANE AUSTEN

From about the time she was twelve years old, Austen began writing spirited parodies of the popular Gothic and sentimental fiction of the day for the amusement of her family. Chock-full of stock characters, vapid and virtuous heroines, and improbable coincidences, these early works reveal in nascent form many of her literary gifts: particularly her ironic sensibility, wit, and gift for comedy. Attempts at more sustained, serious works began around 1794 with a novel in letters—a popular form at the time—called Lady Susan, and in the years immediately following with two more epistolary novels—one called Elinor and Marianne, the other First Impressions—that would evolve into Sense and Sensibilityand Pride and Prejudice. Lady Susan, later revised and entitled Northanger Abbey, also was begun in that period.

From 1799 to 1809, little is known of Austen's life or literary endeavors, other than that upon her father's retirement she moved unhappily from her beloved home in Steventon to Bath; that he died a few years thereafter and she moved to Southampton; and that she began, but did not complete, a novel called The Watsons. A move back to the country in 1808—to a cottage on one of her brother's properties in Chawton—seems to have revived her interest in writing.

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

Though all her novels were concerned with courtship, love, and marriage, Austen never married. There is some evidence that she had several flirtations with eligible men in her early twenties, and speculation that in 1802 she agreed to marry the heir of a Hampshire family but then changed her mind. Austen rigorously guarded her privacy, and after her death, her family censored and destroyed many of her letters. Little is known of her personal experience or her favorite subjects. However, Austen's reputation as a \\\"dowdy bluestocking,\\\" as literary critic Ronald Blythe points out, is far from accurate: \\\"she loved balls, cards, wine, music, country walks, conversation, children, and bad as well as excellent novels.\\\"

Mansfield Park

Edited with an Introduction by Tony Tanner

More varied in scene and conceived on a bigger scale than Austen's earlier books, Mansfield Park (1814) can be seen as an image of quiet resistance at the start of what was to be the most convulsive century of change in English history. In telling the story of Fanny Price, the quiet and sensitive daughter of a lower-middle-class Portsmouth family who is brought up in—and after much suffering eventually becomes mistress of—elegant Mansfield Park, Austen draws on her usual cool irony and psychological insight while also portraying a less immediately winning heroine in a more complex light.

Emma

Edited with an Introduction by Ronald Blythe

Many writers and critics consider Emma (1816), the last of Austen's novels published in her lifetime, the climax of her genius. Dominating the novel is the character of Emma Woodhouse—vital, interesting, complex, and predisposed to playing power games with other people's emotions. Austen called her a heroine \\\"no one but myself would like,\\\" but she endures as one of Austen's immortal creations. Charting how Emma's disastrous foray as a matchmaker precipitates a crisis in the small provincial world of Highbury, and in her own heart, this novel of self-deceit and self-discovery sparkles with intelligence, wit, and irony.

Persuasion

Edited with an Introduction by D.W. Harding

Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth had met and separated years before. Their reunion forces a recognition of the false values that drove them apart. The characters who embody those values are the subjects of some of the most withering satire that Austen ever wrote. Like its predecessors, Persuasion (published after her death in 1818) is a tale of love and marriage, told with Austen's distinctive irony and insight. But the heroine—like the author—is more mature; the tone of the writing more somber.

She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

Volume One
Chapter One

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

Chapter 1

IT IS a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves. \\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.\"},{\"id\":\"19457977T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"3\",\"text\":\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one ofthem.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

In this new edition, young readers have the opportunity to see the artistic inspiration behind the recent hit, Twilight. Elizabeth Bennet is appalled at Mr. Darcy's lack of sensitivity and manners. But when 16-year-old Lydia Bennet elopes with Mr. Wickham, Elizabeth sees Mr. Darcy in a new light. When Mr. Darcy helps arrange a match that saves Lydia from complete ruin, Elizabeth feels affection and respect for this handsome young man. Yet fate tears Darcy and Elizabeth apart, and it appears like they will never find each other across the polite and proper 18th century society. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bennet is determined to marry her five daughters off; she is delighted when Lydia and Jane get engaged. Readers will fall into this enchanting love story; this lovely edition is a companion to Romeo & Juliet and Wuthering Heights, which inspired the second and third books of the Twilight series. The HarperTeen edition is a particularly fun read because it has three essays at the end: \\\"The Jane Austen-Twilight Zone,\\\" \\\"10 Things You Didn't Know About Jane Austen,\\\" and \\\"What if Darcy & Elizabeth Lived Now & Were on Facebook?\\\" Reviewer: Suzanna E.

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network.

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well asinau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. \"},{\"id\":\"19457989T\",\"type\":\"Reading Group Guide\",\"linkText\":\"Reading Group Guide\",\"typeId\":\"1021\",\"abbr\":\"RGG\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"3\",\"text\":\"

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr. Bennet living in Longbourn.

Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr. Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr. Darcy, have moved into their neighborhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth.

Pride and Prejudice retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of \"most loved books.\" It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.

and Prejudice (Illustrated)","Charles River Editors","2940012945310","As has happened with many of history’s greatest writers, Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death. Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, has earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature over the last 150 years.

Austen’s romantic fiction was an interesting genre that belied the fact her writing was laden with realism and a scathing critique on society and the role women played in it during her life. Austen tried several different types of literary styles before settling on writing novels from 1811-1817, releasing Sense and Sensibility (1811), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). The novels highlighted the dependence of women on marrying high to reach a better social status and financial security.

Austen achieved some success from these works, but her most famous work is Pride and Prejudice, which follows Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage among the gentry of early 19th century England. The story is still extremely popular today, making it one of the most popular novels in Western literature, and one that is often imitated by other novels or turned into screenplays.

This edition of Pride and Prejudice is specially formatted with a Table of Contents, an original introduction and dozens of images of Jane Austen and the characters and scenes of the classic novel.","As has happened with many of history’s greatest writers, Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death.

The story is still extremely popular today, making it one of the most popular novels in Western literature, and one that is often imitated by other novels or turned into screenplays.This edition of Pride and Prejudice is specially formatted with a Table of Contents, an original introduction and dozens of images of Jane Austen and the characters and scenes of the classic novel.",[4669,4670],{"_225":6859,"_236":6860},{"_227":228,"_229":230},{"_227":228,"_229":230},{"_225":6862,"_236":6863},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_240":6865},[6866],{"_37":6867,"_61":6868,"_222":-5,"_63":6869,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/48123210563824","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/161679734.jpg?v=1746781668",540,{"_240":6871},[6872],{"_37":6873,"_193":6874},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/39542356214000",{"_37":6875,"_61":6868,"_222":-5,"_63":6869,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/39564605784304",[6877],{"_253":254,"_4697":6878},[6879],{"_253":256,"_4700":6880,"_4710":-5},{"_231":122,"_244":-5,"_37":6881,"_193":6882,"_246":6883,"_248":6884,"_250":6885,"_257":6854,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":8},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47069636559088",{"_204":4704,"_37":6867,"_61":6868,"_222":-5,"_63":6869,"_57":4995},{"_227":228,"_229":230},{"_79":6852,"_210":6854},[6886],{"_253":254,"_255":256},{"_231":122,"_244":-5,"_37":6881,"_193":6888,"_246":6889,"_248":6890,"_250":6891,"_257":6854,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":8},{"_204":4704,"_37":6867,"_61":6868,"_222":-5,"_63":6869,"_57":4995},{"_227":228,"_229":230},{"_79":6852,"_210":6854},[6892],{"_253":254,"_255":256},[],{"_212":-5,"_79":-5},{"_255":6854},{"_255":209},{"_255":4726},{"_255":6899},"2011-06-08T04:00:00Z",{"_255":4933},{"_255":209},{"_255":4753},{"_255":6723},{"_255":6905},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"firstName\":\"Jane\",\"lastName\":\"Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"jobPrimary\":true,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":13186475,\"firstName\":null,\"lastName\":\"Charles River Editors\",\"jobName\":\"Introduction\",\"jobPrimary\":false,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_255":4763},{"_255":4087},{"_255":6729},{"_255":6731},{"_4775":4776,"_255":6824},{"_4775":6735,"_255":6912},"[{\"Key\":\"BrowseMinutes\",\"Value\":\"60\"},{\"Key\":\"DCVendorName\",\"Value\":\"Charles River Editors\"},{\"Key\":\"DigitalSampleCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"},{\"Key\":\"eGiftStatusCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"},{\"Key\":\"FileSize\",\"Value\":\"1284198\"},{\"Key\":\"hasDRM\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"isBrowsable\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"isEnhanced\",\"Value\":\"0\"},{\"Key\":\"isLoanable\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"LoanDays\",\"Value\":\"14\"},{\"Key\":\"MaxLoans\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"SampleEAN\",\"Value\":\"2970012945317\"},{\"Key\":\"SoldBy\",\"Value\":\"Barnes & Noble\"},{\"Key\":\"vendorId\",\"Value\":\"PUB0031781\"},{\"Key\":\"WebReadCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"}]",[6914,6915,6916,6918,6919,6920,6921,-5,6922,6923,-5,-5,-5,-5,6924,6925,-5,-5,-5,6926,6928,-5,-5,-5,-5,6930,-5,-5,-5,6931,6932,-5,-5,-5],{"_266":267,"_268":299,"_255":4763},{"_266":267,"_268":4765,"_255":4087},{"_266":267,"_268":269,"_255":6917},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"fullName\":\"Jane Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":13186475,\"fullName\":\"Charles River Editors\",\"jobName\":\"Introduction\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_266":267,"_268":281,"_255":209},{"_266":267,"_268":284,"_255":209},{"_266":267,"_268":287,"_255":159},{"_266":267,"_268":291,"_255":6835},{"_266":267,"_268":4721,"_255":6854},{"_266":267,"_268":307,"_255":209},{"_266":267,"_268":303,"_255":4726},{"_266":267,"_268":6751,"_255":3951},{"_266":267,"_268":4797,"_255":6927},"[\"Fiction\",\"Romance\",\"Other Romance Categories\",\"Romance Classics\",\"eBook & NOOK\",\"Historical Romance\",\"Historical Romance -

Jane Austen’s wit and insight into human nature are legendary and make Pride and Prejudice a book to be savored over and over again.

Pride and Prejudice is the deceptively simple story of Elizabeth Bennet, second eldest of five unmarried daughters of an affable country gentleman and a very silly lady whose mission in life is to marry them off. When a wealthy young man moves into the neighborhood, he brings with him his friend Mr. Darcy, who falls in love with Elizabeth - much to his own chagrin - after insulting her and earning the derision of the entire neighborhood. The necessity for both of them to overcome their pride and see each other for the people they really are is the backbone of an enduring comedy of manners and love story.

The necessity for both of them to overcome their pride and see each other for the people they really are is the backbone of an enduring comedy of manners and love story.[This eBook is optimized for Nook, Nook for PC and Nook Color with table of contents, navigation links and full text search]",[4669,4670],{"_225":7358,"_236":7360},{"_227":7359,"_229":230},"2.99",{"_227":7359,"_229":230},{"_225":7362,"_236":7363},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_227":235,"_229":230},{"_240":7365},[7366],{"_37":7367,"_61":7368,"_222":-5,"_63":7369,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/48127735824624","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/119038007.jpg?v=1746804931",450,{"_240":7371},[7372],{"_37":7373,"_193":7374},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/39545584681200",{"_37":7375,"_61":7368,"_222":-5,"_63":7369,"_57":4995},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/39567840444656",[7377],{"_253":254,"_4697":7378},[7379],{"_253":256,"_4700":7380,"_4710":-5},{"_231":122,"_244":-5,"_37":7381,"_193":7382,"_246":7383,"_248":7384,"_250":7385,"_257":7353,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":8},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47079515947248",{"_204":4704,"_37":7367,"_61":7368,"_222":-5,"_63":7369,"_57":4995},{"_227":7359,"_229":230},{"_79":7351,"_210":7353},[7386],{"_253":254,"_255":256},{"_231":122,"_244":-5,"_37":7381,"_193":7388,"_246":7389,"_248":7390,"_250":7391,"_257":7353,"_79":256,"_258":-5,"_4709":8},{"_204":4704,"_37":7367,"_61":7368,"_222":-5,"_63":7369,"_57":4995},{"_227":7359,"_229":230},{"_79":7351,"_210":7353},[7392],{"_253":254,"_255":256},[],{"_212":-5,"_79":-5},{"_255":7353},{"_255":209},{"_255":4726},{"_255":7399},"2011-01-17T05:00:00Z",{"_255":4933},{"_255":209},{"_255":4753},{"_255":6723},{"_255":7405},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"firstName\":\"Jane\",\"lastName\":\"Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"jobPrimary\":true,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":24551,\"firstName\":null,\"lastName\":\"Penguin\",\"jobName\":\"Editor\",\"jobPrimary\":false,\"jobType\":\"Creative\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_255":7407},"Pride-and-Prejudice-NOOK-eBook-classic-with-optimized-navigation/Jane-Austen",{"_255":4087},{"_255":6729},{"_255":6731},{"_4775":4776,"_255":6824},{"_4775":6735,"_255":7413},"[{\"Key\":\"BrowseMinutes\",\"Value\":\"60\"},{\"Key\":\"DCVendorName\",\"Value\":\"Gratitude Penguin\"},{\"Key\":\"DigitalSampleCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"},{\"Key\":\"eGiftStatusCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"},{\"Key\":\"FileSize\",\"Value\":\"386564\"},{\"Key\":\"hasDRM\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"isBrowsable\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"isEnhanced\",\"Value\":\"0\"},{\"Key\":\"isLoanable\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"LoanDays\",\"Value\":\"14\"},{\"Key\":\"MaxLoans\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"SampleEAN\",\"Value\":\"2970013616629\"},{\"Key\":\"SoldBy\",\"Value\":\"Barnes & Noble\"},{\"Key\":\"vendorId\",\"Value\":\"PUB0030789\"},{\"Key\":\"WebReadCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"}]",[7415,7416,7417,7419,7420,7421,7422,-5,7423,7424,-5,-5,-5,-5,7425,7426,-5,-5,-5,7427,7429,-5,-5,-5,-5,7431,-5,-5,-5,7432,7433,-5,-5,-5],{"_266":267,"_268":299,"_255":7407},{"_266":267,"_268":4765,"_255":4087},{"_266":267,"_268":269,"_255":7418},"[{\"contributorId\":159952,\"fullName\":\"Jane Austen\",\"jobName\":\"Author\",\"sequenceNumber\":1},{\"contributorId\":24551,\"fullName\":\"Penguin\",\"jobName\":\"Editor\",\"sequenceNumber\":2}]",{"_266":267,"_268":281,"_255":209},{"_266":267,"_268":284,"_255":209},{"_266":267,"_268":287,"_255":159},{"_266":267,"_268":291,"_255":6835},{"_266":267,"_268":4721,"_255":7353},{"_266":267,"_268":307,"_255":209},{"_266":267,"_268":303,"_255":4726},{"_266":267,"_268":6751,"_255":3951},{"_266":267,"_268":4797,"_255":7428},"[\"Fiction\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Literary Styles & Movements -

And now a rich, handsome bachelor has moved in next door. He falls in love with Jane, the oldest Bennet girl. Everything goes well—for a while. Then the handsome bachelor’s proud best friend, Mr. Darcy, ruins everything.

Elizabeth Bennet has never hated anyone as much as she hates Mr. Darcy. How could she ever forgive the man who has ruined her sister’s happiness? She knows everything she needs to know about him. He is proud, hateful, conceited, and horrid—and he wants to marry her.

Elizabeth and Darcy’s memorable, witty battle of hearts and minds has made Pride and Prejudice a readers’ favorite for almost two hundred years.

Chapter 1

IT IS a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves. \\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?

So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network.

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well asinau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. \"},{\"id\":\"53623964T\",\"type\":\"Fatbrain Author Description\",\"linkText\":\"Author Description\",\"typeId\":\"1102\",\"abbr\":\"FBA\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"1\",\"text\":\"Jane Austen (1775-1817) was modest about her own genius but is one of English literature's greatest and most admired writers.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.
Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of \"most loved books\" such as The Big Read.[1] It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.

He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these--the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy--irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls.

'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.' Thus memorably begins Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, one of the world's most popular novels. Pride and PrejudiceAusten's own 'darling child'tells the story of fiercely independent Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters who must marry rich, as she confounds the arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy. What ensues is one of the most delightful and engrossingly readable courtships known to literature, written by a precocious Austen when she was just twenty-one years old.

Humorous and profound, and filled with highly entertaining dialogue, this witty comedy of manners dips and turns through drawing-rooms and plots to reach an immensely satisfying finale. In the words of Eudora Welty, Pride and Prejudice is as 'irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.'

Carol Howard, educated at SUNY Purchase and Columbia University, where she received her Ph.D. in 1999, chairs the English Department and teaches in the Theater Department at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina. She has published essays on early British and contemporary African-American women writers and has coedited two books on British writers (1996, 1997). Her primary scholarly interest is the literature of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England.

From Carol Howard’s Introduction to Pride and Prejudice

It is sometimes said that Austen’s gift was to be a shrewd observer of her narrow, genteel social circle, that her experience and knowledge of the world were limited and her life sheltered, and that her novels realistically reflect the peaceful late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century village community and English countryside she inhabited. That Austen was a careful observer of human motivation and social interaction is certainly true. One should not assume, though, that her choice to write novels of manners means that she was unaware of or unaffected by the political and social upheaval of her day. The idea that she centers her novels on the social classes with which she was most familiar is not entirely the case, although she had occasion to observe members of the gentry and aristocracy whose circumstances resembled those of some of the characters who populate her novels. Whether her own life was perfectly serene is questionable: Most lives, no matter how uneventful in retrospect, have their vicissitudes.

At the very least, Austen and her family must have had concerns over the tumultuous historical events that unsettled the British nation during their lifetime. She was born in 1775, the year that marked the beginning of the American Revolution. Several decades later, she would read newspaper accounts of another British conflict with the new American nation in the War of 1812, which began as she finished revising Pride and Prejudice. What must have played significantly in Austen’s imagination, as in the mind of every Briton, was the ongoing war with Napoleon’s forces, which marked the culmination of a century of conflicts between Britain and France, and which ended, with the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815, six months before her fortieth birthday. The British fear of invasion by Napoleon, which endured until 1805, caused concern even in the towns and villages that seemed safest. Austen would have been aware of the billeting of British militia troops in the English countryside, and she certainly followed the career of her brother Henry, who had joined the Oxford militia in 1793, when Britain’s latest war with France erupted in the aftermath of the French Revolution. She must also have taken a personal interest in the campaigns of the British navy, which counted her brothers Francis and Charles among its officers. To what extent she cared about daily political events is difficult to discern, for her letters are marked by characteristic irony. Of a newspaper report of an 1811 battle of the Peninsular War, when Napoleon invaded Spain and Portugal in an effort to close ports to British commerce, Austen declared, “How horrible it is to have so many people killed!—And what a blessing that one cares for none of them!” (Le Faye, Jane Austen’s Letters).

Pride and Prejudice

By Jane Austen

Kessinger Publishing

Volume One
Chapter One

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

Born in 1775, Jane Austen published four of her six novels anonymously. Her work was not widely read until the late nineteenth century, and her fame grew from then on. Known for her wit and sharp insight into social conventions, her novels about love, relationships, and society are more popular year after year. She has earned a place in history as one of the most cherished writers of English literature.

","One of the most beloved books of all time, Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austin’s classic story of the love that blooms, is denied, and finally flourishes between the prideful Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet. A country squire of limited means, Mr. Bennet is faced with the monumental task of marrying off his five daughters, including his much-loved Elizabeth, while surviving the puerile antics of his wife, Mrs. Bennet, the plotting of the untrustworthy Wickham, and the arrogant Mr. Collins, who is entitled to inherit Mr. Bennet’s property. Containing some of the most memorable characters to grace English literature, Pride and Prejudice is an enduring classic whose lessons of morality and responsibility continue to resonate with readers two centuries after it was first published.HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

When a wealthy and sociable young gentleman, Charles Bingley, rents the nearby manor of Netherfield Park the opportunity to find husbands presents itself. While attending a ball the Bennets meet Charles Bingley and his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy for the first time. Charles and Jane, Elizabeth’s older sister, form a quick friendship, while Fitzwilliam shows little interest in Elizabeth by refusing to dance with her. Darcy is a wealthy handsome intelligent young gentleman who suffers from a social awkwardness that makes him appear to be overly prideful. In the weeks that follow Elizabeth and Darcy find themselves repeatedly forced into each other’s company allowing Elizabeth to overcome the prejudice of her first impression and open herself up to the idea of a romance between the two.

Chapter 1

IT IS a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.\\\"

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.\\\"

\\\"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.\\\"

\\\"You are over-scrupulous surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.\\\"

\\\"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves. \\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.\\\"

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.\"},{\"id\":\"46652881T\",\"type\":\"Excerpt\",\"linkText\":\"Read an Excerpt\",\"typeId\":\"1005\",\"abbr\":\"EXC\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"2\",\"text\":\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as hecomes.

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them , replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quick-ness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

\\\"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.\\\"

\\\"Ah! you do not know what I suffer.\\\"

\\\"But I hope you will get over it, and live to seemany young men of four thousand a year come intothe neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It will be no use to us if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.\\\"

\\\"Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty I will visit them all.\\\"

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" said his lady to him one day, \\\"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?\\\"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

\\\"But it is,\\\" returned she; \\\"for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.\\\"

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

\\\"Do not you want to know who has taken it?\\\" cried his wife impatiently.

\\\"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.\\\"

This was invitation enough.

\\\"What is his name?\\\"

\\\"Bingley.\\\"

\\\"Is he married or single?\\\"

\\\"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!\\\"

\\\"How so? how can it affect them?\\\"

\\\"My dear Mr. Bennet,\\\" replied his wife, \\\"how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.\\\"

\\\"Is that his design in settling here?\\\"

\\\"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.\\\"

\\\"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.\\\"

\\\"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.\\\"

\\\"It is more than I engage for, I assure you.\\\"

\\\"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.\\\"

\\\"They have none of them much to recommend them,\\\" replied he; \\\"they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.\\\"

\\\"Mr Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.\\\"

ABOUT THE TITLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott also insightfully pointed out Emma's significance in representing the emergence of a new kind of novel, one concerned with the texture of ordinary life.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Charlotte Brontë did not appreciate Pride and Prejudice. She felt that Jane Austen didn't write about her characters' hearts. Do you think Brontë's criticism is accurate? Is Austen's treatment of her characters' feelings superficial? Do they feel and/or express deep emotion?
An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was entitled First Impressions. What role do first impressions play in the story? In which cases do first impressions turn out to be inaccurate, in which cases correct?
After Jane becomes engaged to Bingley, she says she wishes Elizabeth could be as happy as she is. Elizabeth replies, "If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness." Do you think Elizabeth's statement is true? Is it better to be good, to think the best of people, and be happy? Or is it better to see the world accurately, and feel less happiness?
Mr. Bennet's honesty and wry humor make him one of the most appealing characters in the book. Yet, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he has failed as a father. In what ways does Mr. Bennet let his children down? How does his action, or inaction, affect the behavior of his daughters? His wife? The course of the story?
Charlotte doesn't marry Mr. Collins for love. Why does she marry him? Are her reasons valid? Are they fair to Mr. Collins? Do you think marrying for similar reasons is appropriate today?
Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo transformations over the course of the book. How does each change and how is the transformation brought about? Could Elizabeth's transformation have happened without Darcy's? Or vice versa?
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh are famously comic characters. What makes them so funny? How does Elizabeth's perception of them affect your trust in Elizabeth's views of other people in the book, particularly of Wickham and Darcy?
For most of the book, pride prevents Darcy from having what he most desires. Why is he so proud? How is his pride displayed? Is Elizabeth proud? Which characters are not proud? Are they better off?
Editor Tony Tanner points out in the Notes to the Penguin Classics edition that Austen did not mention topical events nor use precise descriptions of actual places in Pride and Prejudice, so that the larger historical events of the time did not detract attention from the private drama of her characters. "This perhaps contributes to the element of timelessness in the novel," he concludes, "even though it unmistakably reflects a certain kind of society at a certain historical moment." In what ways are the themes and concerns of Pride and Prejudice timeless? In what ways are they particular to the times in which Austen wrote the book?
