| Publisher Description: Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners is one of the most universally loved and admired English novels of all time. "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." The Bennets are a family of five daughters, and with no male heir, the Bennet estate must someday pass to their priggish cousin Mr. Collins. Therefore, with no fortune or security of their own, the girls must marry well--and thus is launched the story of spirited and opinionated Elizabeth Bennet and the arrogant and aloof bachelor Mr. Darcy. An entertaining portrait of nineteenth century matrimonial rites and rivalries, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is timeless in its hilarity and honesty. With an Introduction by Margaret Drabble and an Afterword by Eloisa James |
