Pride and Prejudice: Easyread Super Large 20pt Edition

Product Description<br/><br/><br/>A timeless classic, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (1813) is a milestone in the genre of romantic comedy. It highlights the issue of marriage and how it affected women's entire lives. She also comments on and satirizes the class-prejudice and mercenary attitudes of Regency society. The novel presents one of English literature's most vivacious heroines, Elizabeth, and Darcy, the epitome of elegance.<br/><br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/><br/>Jane Austen, England's first major female novelist, wrote and set her novels during the Regency period, when George III was too mad, and his son the Prince, who admired Austen's novels, too young to rule the country. Her six novels are best loved for their irony and perfection of form. Jane Austen perfected the English novel of the previous century in much the same way that Henry James perfected the Victorian novel. She never married and died in 1817 at age 41.
