“To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.” Pride and Prejudice is the quintessential romantic comedy, and one of the most popular books in the world. With a light yet rich and penetrating style Austen’s skillful pen gives life to a brilliant set of characters conspiring to find love and a firm footing in life. Prepare to be amused by the witty and charming merry-go-round of Pride and Prejudice and its fantastic dramatis personae. Beyond these obvious and very considerable literary delights, Austen’s work astutely shows the economic and societal relations of the time. In so doing she lays the ground for feminist claims for liberation, economic and otherwise. For the reader in the 21st century, the evident contrast in circumstances provides an understanding of the road travelled since. Show more
