Author bio

Jane Austen was born in Steventon rectory on 16 December 1775. Her family later moved to Bath, then to Southampton and finally to Chawton in Hampshire. She began writing Pride and Prejudice when she was twenty-two years old. It was originally called First Impressions and was initially rejected by the publishers and only published in 1813 after much revision. She published four of her novels in her lifetime, Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Jane Austen died on 18th July 1817. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were both published posthumously in 1818.

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Jane Austen’s masterpiece with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark.

“It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us.”

When Elizabeth Bennet meets Mr. Darcy, she is repelled by his overbearing pride and prejudice towards her family. But the Bennet girls are in need of financial security in the shape of husbands, so when Darcy's friend, the affable Mr. Bingley, forms an attachment to Jane, Darcy becomes increasingly hard to avoid. Polite society is turned upside down in this witty drama of friendship, rivalry, and love.

Originally published in 1813, Jane Austen's classic romance novel remains as engaging and entertaining as ever.
