Our dear friend Susannah Fullerton has compiled a wonderful story of one of the world's favorite and most famous books to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Prid e and Prejudice. From what we know of Austen's first draft, to an exploration of the things that make the story so endearing (the heroine, the hero, her relative, the characters). A history of reactions to the novel by other writers and famous folks, and a thoroughly modern exploration of the various mash-ups, crazy gifts, television miniseries, movies, games, and sequels, all P&P-inspired. Celebrate the novel's travels from the trenches of WWI to Hollywood and in translation around the world. With a collection of book illustrations scattered throughout, some you're bound not to have seen. Please note this is the same book as our item#14396, but with a new jacket from a new publisher. Susannah heads the Australian branch of the Jane Ausen Society. Frances Lincoln Ltd., London. 2013, Hb, Dj. NEW. $22.00 Show more
