So begins <i>Pride and Prejudice, </i>Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works," and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be." <p/> <b>Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste."<br>--Virginia Woolf<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anna Quindlen </b>is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and novelist whose work has appeared on fiction, nonfiction, and self-help bestseller lists.
