Pride and Prejudice Summary
| It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. |

|
|
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Through this satirical opening line in Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, the author provides us with a glimpse of and into her keen wit and exquisite sense of humor. A comedy-drama of manners, the story - set in late-eighteenth-century England - deals cleverly and artfully with the societal prescriptions of the day... |

The appearance of the wealthy Charles Bingley, occupant of the manor of Netherfield Park, proves a catalyst for the five young daughters of the Bennet household. 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, though 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 principal characters. |

Pride and Prejudice is a beloved classic by Jane Austen. Austen's gentle social satire and the timeless warmth and vividness of her characters have made her novels beloved worldwide. |
|
|
| Jane Austen's most popular novel; a magical tale of a complex love between two complex people |
|

|
| Pride and Prejudice is the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet (minor gentry), their five daughters, and the various romantic adventures at their Hertfordshire residence of Longbourn. The parents' characters are greatly contrasted: Mr Bennet being a wise and witty gentleman; while Mrs Bennet is permanently distracted by the issue of marrying off her daughters at any cost. The reason for Mrs Bennet's obsession is that their estate will pass by law after Mr Bennet's death to his closest blood relative: his cousin, the Reverend William Collins (a fatuous, tactless and pompous man). Austen's tale is spurred on by the arrival of the young and wealthy bachelor Charles Bingley and his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy. It is the story of the various affections, affectations and engagement shenanigans that develop due to Mrs Bennet's relentless matchmaking and the dashing Darcy's tempestuous relationship with Elizabeth Bennet who Jane Austen claimed was favourite amongst her literary offspring. Its 1797 earlier version was turned down for publication and it appeared in this form in 1813. |

|
| Early nineteenth century English society imposed many requirements for a successful life. Women, to maintain a comfortable economic condition, needed to make the conventions of class and wealth important when they came of marrying age. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett had five daughters to present before whatever eligibly prosperous men were available. This story centers on the Bennetts' daughter Elizabeth who will be most resistant to any financially stable marriage which has no room for romance. Because Elizabeth has her sights set on happiness, she employs her intelligence and quick response to keep an edge on suitors like Mr. Collins whose overdone manner combined with unassertive demands make him totally undesirable. Elizabeth is sure of her ability to accurately judge the quality of others. But Elizabeth meets Mr. Darcy who is rich and aristocratic. He becomes a rather unwelcome presence in her life even though he is a close friend of her sister's beau. Elizabeth mistakenly believes that Darcy has a disagreeable tendency to hate everyone, but the longer she knows him she is shown through event and example how generous and capable he is. The novel becomes a discovery of true love as Darcy and Elizabeth reconcile the conceits of prejudice and pride that had hidden the possibility of pleasure.

Pride and Prejudice -- Adobe PDF ebook. Jane Austen's classic work chronicling the romantic relationship between Elizabeth and her boyfriend Mr. Darcy. |
|
|
| It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" |
|
|
| Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be." |
