Book Review - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (1/20)
Blurb: Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.
I LOVE THIS BOOK! This is my first Jane Austen and I was quite nervous about it when I started, thinking the language would be too antiquated and difficult. I was wrong. I loved the character of Elizabeth, and the pure escapism of regency England - mainly inspired by my love of the new Netflix show Bridgerton.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anybody who wants to get into classics a bit more, or anyone who loves the show Bridgerton. I will definitely be reading more Jane Austen in the future!
5/5
