Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice illustrated Jane Austen

In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, a country squire of no great means must marry off his five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are his headstrong second daughter Elizabeth Bennet and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy-two lovers whose pride must be humbled and prejudices dissolved before the novel can come to its splendid conclusion.
