The story: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Unable to inherit their family’s estate, the five Bennet sisters must secure their future through marriage. Their mother, the anxious Mrs. Bennet, is determined to see at least one daughter marry well to support the others. As Jane, the eldest daughter, falls for Mr. Bingley―a rich bachelor who owns a neighboring estate―her savvy sister Elizabeth bristles at his less amiable (though considerably wealthier) friend, Mr. Darcy. Through a series of scandals, misunderstandings, and rejected proposals, Elizabeth discovers the truth of Darcy’s character (and earnest love for her).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Along with the plays of William Shakespeare and the works of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen's novels are among the most beloved books of Western literature. Pride and Prejudice (1813) was in Austen's lifetime her most popular novel, and it was the author's personal favorite. Adapted many times to the screen and stage, and the inspiration for numerous imitations, it remains today her most widely read book. Now, in this beautifully illustrated and annotated edition, distinguished scholar Patricia Meyer Spacks instructs the reader in a larger appreciation of the novel's enduring pleasures and provides analysis of Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine, and all the characters who inhabit the world of Pride and Prejudice. This edition will be treasured by specialists and first-time readers, and especially by devoted Austen fans who think of themselves as Friends of Jane. In her Introduction, Spacks considers Austen's life and career, the continuing appeal of Pride and Prejudice, and its power as a stimulus for fantasy (Maureen Dowd, writing in The New York Times, can hold forth at length on Obama as a Darcy-figure, knowing full well her readers will "understand that she wished to suggest glamour and sexiness"). Her Introduction also explores the value and art of literary annotation. In her running commentary on the novel, she provides notes on literary and historical contexts, allusions, and language likely to cause difficulty to modern readers. She offers interpretation and analysis, always with the wisdom, humor, and light touch of an experienced and sensitive teacher. Provides notes on literary and historical contexts, allusions, and language of Jane Austen's most popular novel "Pride and Prejudice" (1813). This title explores the value and art of literary annotation. It also provides analysis of Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine, and all the characters who inhabit the world of "Pride and Prejudice."
