The best loved and most popular of Jane Austen's novels and the subject of dozens of film adaptations
Pride & Prejudice has given us some of the most lasting heroes of English romantic literature.
Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, each lost in their own perception of the world, through which they casually judge others, are forced by circumstances to revise their opinions.
Excellent in its depiction of Georgian life, richly observed in detail and with a language that verges on the poetic Austen's masterpiece transports the reader into a pastoral world where the big questions about life, love and fidelity are answered through the actions of the story's principal characters.
Life, love, romance and what happens next have always been timeless themes. In Jane Austen's famous novel, now the subject of a Bollywood movie, a Hollywood film and a 2004 Christmas DVD release, Jane Austen creates some of the most memorable characters in English romantic literature in the face of the haughty estate owner, Fitzwilliam Darcy and the equally prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet.
Peopled with minor characters such as Mr Collins and Lady Catherine du Bourgh, that live on in the mind long after the last page has been turned Pride & Prejudice is a towering achievement by the most self-effacing author in English Romantic Literature.
Fully intaractive, searchable, with an enhanced CoolZone of weblinks and background info this new, Cool Publications version brings the popular novel to the attention of readers of the digital generation.
