'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in
possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.' With this
famous declaration Jane Austen launches into the story of the five
Bennet sisters. It is a story that on first reading is full of
suspense, surprise and, ultimately, satisfaction, and which on
re-reading commands, in addition, admiration for the author's
supreme skill in managing a deceptively complex plot to its
triumphant conclusion. First published in 1813, and Austen's most
popular novel in her own lifetime, Pride and Prejudice has since
been widely recognised as one of the finest novels in the English
language. This volume, first published in 2006, provides
comprehensive explanatory notes, an extensive critical introduction
covering the context and publication history of the work, a
chronology of Austen's life and an authoritative textual apparatus.
This edition is an indispensable resource for all scholars and
readers of Austen.
