¿Pride & Prejudice,¿ which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous & empty-headed Mrs. Bennet has only one aim -- that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical & indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision &, above all, its irresistible heroine, ¿Pride & Prejudice¿ has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language. Includes an Introduction by Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex, UK. Complete & unabridged.
