The nation's favourite novel, introduced by the beloved, bestselling author of Everything I Know about Love and Good Material.
Accompanying the new Netflix series, adapted for television by Dolly Alderton and starring Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden.
‘No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes…’
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he in turn is indifferent to her wit and lively mind.
But the Bennet daughters are in need of financial security in the shape of husbands, and when Darcy’s friend, the affable Mr Bingley, forms an attachment to Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane, Darcy becomes increasingly hard to avoid.
In this sparkling comedy of manners, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions as she tells an irresistible, timeless story of love, marriage and human nature.
Jane Austen (Author)
Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family's amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.
