About This Novel
The author Jane Austen uses the love story and self-growth of Squire Bennet's second daughter Elizabeth and the hero Darcy to lead readers to appreciate the rural life and worldly conditions of the British Regency period from the late 18th to the early 19th century. Although describing love and marriage, Austen went against the sentimental novel content and pretentious writing methods that were popular in society at the time. She used her "rare sense of humor" to express serious thinking and criticism, exploring women's self-discovery and growth in love, and their pursuit of personal independence and equal rights. Mr. Wang Keyi's translation retains the quaint charm of the original work, and Austen's ironic essence can be seen everywhere.
