Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice have remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work Òher own darling childÓ and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, Òas delightful a creature as ever appeared in print. Ó The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane AustenÕs 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.
Among the writers who have approached nearest to the manner of the great master, we have no hesitation in placing Jane Austen. ÑThomas Macaulay
ÔPride and Prejudice is the best novel in the language. ÑAnthony Trollope
I used to think that men did everything better than women, but that was before I read Jane Austen. I donÕt think any man ever wrote better than Jane Austen. ÑRex Stout
Elizabeth Bennet has but to speak, and I am at her knees. ÑRobert Louis Stevenson
Read again, and for the third time at least, Miss AustenÕs wrote a novel of ÔPride and Prejudice. Õ That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with. ÑSir Walter Scott
