<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Though her sisters are keen on finding men to marry, Elizabeth Bennet would rather wait for someone she loves - certainly not someone like Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, whom she finds to be smug and judgmental, in contrast to the charming George Wickham. But soon Elizabeth learns that her first impressions may not have been correct, and the quiet, genteel Mr. Darcy might be her true love after all.<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>Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. <p> As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are <b>Sense and Sensibility</b> (1811), <b>Pride and Prejudice</b> (1813), <b>Mansfield Park</b> (1814) and <b>Emma</b> (1816). Two other novels, <b>Northanger Abbey</b> and <b>Persuasion</b>, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. <b>Persuasion</b> was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, <b>Lady Susan</b>, and an unfinished novel, <b>The Watsons</b>. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, <b>Sanditon</b>, a fragmentary draft of which survives.</p>
