Pride and Prejudice (Annotated)

Pride and Prejudice (Annotated) | Jane Austen

88 posts | 10 read | 3 to read

Along with the plays of William Shakespeare and the works of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen's novels are among the most beloved books of Western literature. Pride and Prejudice (1813) was in Austen's lifetime her most popular novel, and it was the author's personal favorite. Adapted many times to the screen and stage, and the inspiration for numerous imitations, it remains today her most widely read book. Now, in this beautifully illustrated and annotated edition, distinguished scholar Patricia Meyer Spacks instructs the reader in a larger appreciation of the novel's enduring pleasures and provides analysis of Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine, and all the characters who inhabit the world of Pride and Prejudice. This edition will be treasured by specialists and first-time readers, and especially by devoted Austen fans who think of themselves as Friends of Jane. In her Introduction, Spacks considers Austen's life and career, the continuing appeal of Pride and Prejudice, and its power as a stimulus for fantasy (Maureen Dowd, writing in The New York Times, can hold forth at length on Obama as a Darcy-figure, knowing full well her readers will "understand that she wished to suggest glamour and sexiness"). Her Introduction also explores the value and art of literary annotation. In her running commentary on the novel, she provides notes on literary and historical contexts, allusions, and language likely to cause difficulty to modern readers. She offers interpretation and analysis, always with the wisdom, humor, and light touch of an experienced and sensitive teacher.

My #MovieTime last night was watching the 2005 movie of P&P in honor of Jane Austin‘s birthday yesterday. Between now & New Year‘s weekend, I will watch my favorite adaptation, the 1995 BBC version & depending on my mood & reading month possibly fit in a reread before the book‘s publication date of January 28. ❤️📚🎥🍿💚

I just love the ending paragraph of P&P. I think it‘s a testament to Elizabeth of her altered feelings, not only for Darcy, but having a deeper understanding of herself and allowing her sentiments to change.

Thank you @sprainedbrain for coordinating us for this read along! 😘 Can‘t wait to watch some P&P and read adaptations!

In honor of Elizabeth and Darcy happily ensconced at Pemberley - Bubbles to drink and I lit my new The Gardens at Pemberley Candle. It smells of Honeysuckle, Rose Petals, and Jasmine.
A toast to @sprainedbrain for bringing all us #Pemberlittens together. Delightful always.
#prideandprejudicereadalong 🥂🍾

Crinoline_Laphroaig As to the Annotated Edition - it's beautiful. But all the Footnotes distract from just reading the story. Found myself read Chapter 1st out of one of my other copies then going back a reading Footnotes. So I actually read the book twice. I'll have to count that on my Goodreads. 😉 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig But I did learn a lot. For instance Last Chapter talked about how P & P has is the most Fairy-tale of her books. Handsome prince + Beautiful maiden. 5y

This chapter shows just how Lydia's actions will affect her sisters marriage prospects. I think this is why Pride and Prejudice is so hard to modernize. Women today aren't going to starve in the hedgerows if they don't marry.

Since my trip to UK 3 years ago, I have often contemplated which is inspiration for Pemberley. Lyme Park or Chatsworth? After rereading today's Chapter (for the umpteenth time) I'm going with Lyme Park. Obviously from this my favorite pic of house & Italian Garden, it's gorgeous. It's where Colin Firth P & P was filmed. Has a quiet sedate beauty; while Chatsworth is more opulent. ⬇️ @sprainedbrain #pemberlittens

OMG all the feels. This is my all time most favorite chapter of the whole book! The proposal, the language, the raw emotions, the expectation and denial. I often just reread it; conveys the whole essence of P&P. I‘m swooning. I‘m in about as much agitation of mind as Elizabeth is, not with as many tears, but to think of her being an object of admiration from Mr. Darcy! He‘s feels much in her refusal.

sharread He did an awesome job plus he's super handsome 😜 5y

Prairiegirl_reading IMO Darcy is so repulsive until he says he proclaims his love and then he‘s different but I totally love that Lizzy doesn‘t just change her mind right away and accept. Just because a man professes his love doesn‘t excuse his behaviour. 5y

CrowCAH @Graciouswarriorprincess In the movie that is a great scene! 5y

CrowCAH @staci.reads I agree. He‘s so hopeful for a positive answer. 5y

CrowCAH @DAB it is shocking, because like Charlotte said to Lizzy to make herself agreeable to him, he has money, Elizabeth sees beyond the material and at the actual person, or who she interprets that person to be. 5y

CrowCAH @sharread yesss, Matthew MacFadyen is a handsome man; makes an excellent Darcy! 5y

CrowCAH @Prairiegirl_reading very true. I‘d be offended too, if he said he‘s loved me against his better judgment, my family connections, and those closest to me. I‘ve broken up with boyfriends, because they didn‘t respect my mother. 5y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain it sure is. What gets me, as we read the book slowly chapter a day, is that Elizabeth is blind to his growing attentions to her. She sees it as an impertinence on her time. 5y

Well, ladies and gents, I‘m going to be an old maid, like Charlotte. I‘ve passed my eight and twentieth year of life. There are no marriage prospects for me. But on a more positive note, like Lizzy I will not accept a Mr. Collins, someone who I couldn‘t respect and love.

Crinoline_Laphroaig You have a choice! That's so much better. 5y

CrowCAH @Crinoline_Laphroaig very true! 😊 5y

LitStephanie Hahaha! So glad marriage is no longer "the only honorable provision for well-educated young women of small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest preservative from want." 5y

CrowCAH @LitStephanie well said 👏🏻😊 5y

I'm gonna need another strong cup of tea. And a biscuit. Definitely a biscuit @sprainedbrain while I ponder which would be worse: starving in the hedgerows or marrying Mr. Collins. 😒

Jane receives the “goodbye” letter from Caroline saying the whole party is leaving Netherfield and staying in London for the winter. Jane believes the writer, while Lizzy distrusts the motives of said sister to Bingley.

Here‘s a pen and ink set perfectly themed with P&P!

LeahBergen That Caroline. 😡 5y

CrowCAH @LeahBergen she‘s a passive bully, mean, and conniving. 😠 5y

mariaku21 Ugh Caroline... But that set looks so pretty 😍 5y

CrowCAH @mariaku21 yes, the hardback cover makes it blend very nicely with the collection of books! 5y

Mr Collins pouts. Miss Bingley is a meddlesome B****.
Sorry. It's just the word I always think describes her best @sprainedbrain 🤬.

Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen and that's only a partial peek! 😉 5y

sprainedbrain That‘s exactly what she is! 😂 5y

"She is a very headstrong, foolish girl, and does not know her own interest but I will make her know it."

Way to get him keep asking Mrs. Bennet! ?

Also don't you think Elizabeth is thinking 'If Only' when Mrs. B is ranting about not speaking to her ever again. ?

Perfect chapter for afternoon tea and a biscuit. ?

Elizabeth you should watch what you say. Already you have gone back on your word about not dancing with Mr. Darcy. Now you may become one of those ladies who wish for a second proposal! (Lol I may know the future!)
