Description

Elizabeth Bennet, one of the most delightful heroines of all time, would be enough to make ‘Pride and Prejudice’ outstanding among English novels. In addition, the book has a beautifully symmetrical plot in which the action rises and falls as inevitably as does an ocean wave.

Many of the other characters, besides Elizabeth, are superbly drawn. Jane Austen's delicate but telling satire of the English country gentlefolk of her day – and indeed of her neighborhood – remains a delightful commentary upon the little foibles of human nature.
