About This Novel
The great American literary critic Edmund Wilson said: "In the history of British literature for nearly one and a quarter centuries, there have been several revolutions of taste, but only Shakespeare and Jane Austen have endured." This book is one of Austen's most famous works. Mrs. Bennet's lifelong ambition is to marry her five daughters decently, so she always regards the wealthy bachelors nearby as a piece of property that one of her daughters deserves, so there are several young couples who have ups and downs of separation and reunion. In the end, the hero and heroine put aside their pride and prejudice and made their own moral choices. The work fully expresses the author's own views on marriage, emphasizing the impact of economic interests and family status on love and marriage. The more than 50 original illustrations compiled in this book vividly reproduce classic scenes. They were created by the Irish-British painter Hugh Thomson at the end of the 19th century. They are also the most widely circulated and unique set of illustrations of Austen's works.
