Pride and Prejudice

Open Library OL66554W

Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy misjudge each other in a comedy of marriage, income, and pride. Austen’s second published novel is still the surest entrance to her shelf.

About the author

Austen wrote six finished novels about money, rank, and judgment in English gentry life. The wit is social rather than sentimental: people reveal themselves by what they notice. More of this shelf for Jane Austen.
