Summary
Summary
Jane Austen’s most popular novel, originally published in 1813, some seventeen years after it was first written, presents the Bennet family of Longbourn.
Against the background of gossipy, single-mineded Mrs. Bennet and the amusingly detached Mr. Bennet, the quest is on for husbands for the five daughters. The spotlight falls on Elizabeth, second eldest, who is eventually courted by Mr. Darcy, though initially she keeps herself aloof due to preconceptions that each of them have about the other.
This witty account of family life in Regency England is read with customary panache by Juliet Stevenson.

Author Bio: Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
