    About Pride and Prejudice

    Introduction by Anna Quindlen
    Commentary by Margaret Oliphant, George Saintsbury, Mark Twain, A. C. Bradley, Walter A. Raleigh, and Virginia Woolf
     
    Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

    “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s witty 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. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the “most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author’s works,” and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as “irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.”

    About Pride and Prejudice

    One of the most beloved English novels, it is the story of Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and the complicated nature of love in nineteenth-century upper class England.

    Pride and Prejudice    , an early Victorian novel of manners, centres around the budding relationship between Bennet and Darcy, neither of which fully meet the expectations of a man or a woman in their time. It has inspired numerous screen adaptations, including a 2005 film starring Keira Knightley, and a 1995 BBC mini-series starring Colin Firth, and various literary spin-offs, including the novel Longbourn by Jo Baker and the tongue-in-cheek Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
