384 pages : color illustrations ; 24 cm Genteel Elizabeth Bennet finds the wealthy Fitzwilliam Darcy arrogant and obnoxious. Darcy, by all outward appearances, finds Elizabeth beneath his personal consideration. Although Elizabeth does her best to avoid associating with Darcy, fate and the entanglements of her family and friends draw the pair ineluctably into a fraught romantic pas de deux. First published in 1813, Austen's novel offers a sly satirical look at a time when marrying well was a woman's only way to secure a comfortable future. It is the forerunner for all romantic comedies written in its wake Jane Austen ; Illustrated by Charles E. Brock and Hugh Thomson.
