MY REVIEW
Five Bennet sisters lead their uneventful life in Hertfordshire until their neighbourhood is enlarged by Mr. Bingley and his friends. When Elizabeth Bennet refuses to be intimidated by the handsome, intelligent, rich and proud Mr. Darcy sparks fly. Yet Austen refuses to build the relationship between her hero and heroine on passion alone. The novel is a wonderful tale of the necessity to discover one's own fears and misconceptions. Self-knowledge is the only way to love.
Pride and Prejudice in Penguin Classics
Austen's Text Unaltered
Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics)
Amazon Price: $8.00 (as of 12/30/2009)![]()
Since Austen had sold her rights to Pride and Prejudice publishers and editors made authoritarian changes to her text. Chapman's edition, the one we read today, brought back her original chapter and volume division, but still made more changes to the text than necessary.
The newest Penguin Classics edition of Pride and Prejudice brings back Austen's original words, spelling and punctuation, prior to Chapman's changes. Edited with an introduction and notes by Vivien Jones.
This edition includes a new chronology, additional suggestions for further reading, and the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner.

Jane Austen's The History of England by Jane Austen
Introduction by A. S. Byatt. The first-ever full-color facsimile edition of one of Jane Austen's early works, with delightful portraits painted by her sister Cassandra, followed by a transcribed version of the text. Sixteen-year-old Jane describes herself as "a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian," and her gleeful parody hints at the humor she would later bring to her novels. "Treats royalty with less respect (and more wit) than a British tabloid."--Cleveland Plain Dealer.0 points

The Wit and Wisdom of Jane Austen by Jane Austen
Few great writers can have cut so unglamorous a figure in the world as Jane Austen did. The fifth child of a Hampshire clergyman of modest means, Austen was more highly regarded among her family for her skill with the embroidery needle than for the sharpness of her wit. Yet, nearly two hundred years after she first put pen to paper, Austen's insights into human nature are as apt and accurate as when she originally wrote them. A witty and elegant collection of truths, ageless in their relevance.....0 points
Persuasion (Oxford World's Classics) by Jane Austen, Deidre Shauna Lynch
Persuasion celebrates romantic constancy in an era of turbulent change.

Anne Elliot seems to have given up on present happiness and has resigned herself to living off her memories. More than seven years earlier she complied with duty: persuaded to view the match as imprudent and improper, she broke off her engagement to a naval captain with ne...0 points
Two Histories of England: By Jane Austen and Charles Dickens by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens
In these two forgotten gems of English literature, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens offer delightful, irreverent histories of their native land.
hen she was only sixteen years old, Jane Austen composed her bitingly satirical History of England for performance in her family's drawingroom. A startling and precocious example of her celebrated wit-not to mention a brilliant social commentary-this lively piece sweeps rapidly across almost four centuries of British monarchy. In rambunctiou...

In her first published novel, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen presents us with the subtle portraits of two contrasting but equally compelling heroines. For sensible Elinor Dashwood and her impetuous younger sister Marianne the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centered fortune-h...0 points

Jane Austen's 'Sir Charles Grandison' by Jane Austen
First published in 1980 following the discovery of the manuscript, this is the complete text of the only surviving attempt by Jane Austen to write a full-length play. Sir Charles Grandison is a light-hearted dramatization of scenes from Samuel Richardson's novel, The History of Sir Charles Grandison. Edited and annotated by respected Austen scholar Brian Southam, it also includes a foreword by Lord David Cecil.0 points
Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics) by Jane Austen
Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet. Her early determination to dislike Mr. Darcy is a prejudice only matched by the folly of his arrogant pride. Their first impressions give way to true feelings in a comedy profoundly concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.

Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sanditon (Oxford World's Classics) by Jane Austen, Claudia L. Johnson
Northanger Abbey depicts the misadventures of Catherine Morland, young, ingenuous, and mettlesome, and an indefatigable reader of gothic novels. Their romantic excess and dark overstatement feed her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroines in isolated settings. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality, ordinary life takes a mor...0 points
