THE ANNOTATED PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
by Jane Austen
This first-ever fully annotated edition of one of the most beloved novels in the world is a sheer delight for Jane Austen fans. Here is the complete text with more than 2,300 annotations on facing pages, which include explanations of the novel’s historical context; citations from Austen’s life, letters, and writings; definitions and clarifications of the text; literary comments and analysis; maps and illustrations; in addition to a bibliography and a detailed chronology of events. Of course, one can enjoy the novel without knowing the precise definition of a gentleman, or what it signifies that a character drives a coach rather than a hack chaise, or the rules governing social interaction at a ball, but readers of The Annotated Pride and Prejudice will find that these kinds of details add immeasurably to understanding and enjoying the intricate psychological interplay of Austen’s immortal characters.
