Synopses & Reviews
One of the best-loved works of English literature, Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet (Austens favorite of all her creations) and her four sisters through a series of romantic adventures and misadventures. Affections, affectations, and shenanigans abound due to Mrs. Bennets relentless matchmaking, the devious Wickham, and Elizabeths tempestuous relationship with the snobbish Mr. Darcy, which the meddlesome Lady Catherine de Bourgh is determined to crush out. In addition to being Austens most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice also contains some of her most astringent comments on manners and morals.
