Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen’s most popular novel and its leading character, Elizabeth Bennet, was her favourite heroine. On one level it is a romance of wish-fulfilment, its plot largely driven by the personalities and behaviour of an ill-matched couple and their five daughters. On another level it is an entertaining examination of serious contemporary issues, Austen’s sharp-eyed vision enabling her to present a comically ironic commentary on the pretensions and foibles of her society, and demonstrating a keen awareness of the difficulties faced by an intelligent, independent young woman negotiating the minefields of class and gender. Newly edited from the first edition of 1813, with summary, chapter-by-chapter commentary, and hyperlinked explanatory and textual notes by Dr Harriet Devine Jump. This BHD edition may be printed for personal use.
