Descrizione dell’editore

As has happened with many of history’s greatest writers, Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death. Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, has earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature over the last 150 years. 

Austen’s romantic fiction was an interesting genre that belied the fact her writing was laden with realism and a scathing critique on society and the role women played in it during her life. Austen tried several different types of literary styles before settling on writing novels from 1811-1817, releasing Sense and Sensibility (1811), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). The novels highlighted the dependence of women on marrying high to reach a better social status and financial security.  

Austen achieved some success from these works, but her most famous work is Pride and Prejudice, which follows Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage among the gentry of early 19th century England. The story is still extremely popular today, making it one of the most popular novels in Western literature, and one that is often imitated by other novels or turned into screenplays.

This edition of Pride and Prejudice is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and pictures of Austen, her life and work.
