Omschrijving
Originally published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is the depiction of marriage, education, manners and money in the British Regency. Mr.Bennett has five daughters, however his property is entailed meaning none of his daughters can inherit it. His wife has no fortune so it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well.When wealthy Mr.Bingley and his best friend Mr.Darcy come to stay for the summer, all girls are enamoured and looking for a husband. The girls very different natures are shown and there is a buzz in the air around the straight laced Mr Darcy who struggles not to fall in love with one of the girls who he feels is below his standards.Pride and Prejudice is born.Jane Austin's classic novel has become one of the most popular novels in english literature with over 20 million copies sold.
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist. She wrote many books of romantic fiction about the gentry. Her works made her one of the most famous and beloved writers in English literature. She is one of the great masters of the English novel.Austen's works criticized sentimental novels in the late 18th century, and are part of the change to nineteenth- realism. She wrote about typical people in everyday life. This gave the English novel its first distinctly modern character. Austen's stories are often comic, but they also show how women depended on marriage for social standing and economic security. Her works are also about moral problems. Jane Austen was very modest about her own genius. She once famously described her work as "the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a brush, as produces little effect after much labor." She had been working on a new novel, Sanditon, but she died before she could finish it. She is now a well known great writer.
