This first-ever fully annotated edition of one of the most beloved novels in the world is a sheer delight for Jane Austen fans. Here is the complete text of Pride and Prejudice with more than 2,300 annotations on facing pages, including:


• Explanations of historical context Rules of etiquette, class differences, the position of women, legal and economic realities, leisure activities, and more.
• Citations from Austen's life, letters, and other writings Parallels between the novel and Austen's experience are revealed, along with writings that illuminate her beliefs and opinions.
• Definitions and clarifications Archaic words, words still in use whose meanings have changed, and obscure passages are explained.
• Literary comments and analyses Insightful notes highlight Austen's artistry and point out the subtle ways she develops her characters and themes.
• Maps and illustrations of places and objects mentioned in the novel.
• An introduction, a bibliography, and a detailed chronology of events Of course, one can enjoy the novel without knowing the precise definition of a gentleman, or what it signifies that a character drives a coach rather than a hack chaise, or the rules governing social interaction at a ball, but readers of The Annotated Pride and Prejudice will find that these kinds of details add immeasurably to understanding and enjoying the intricate psychological interplay of Austen's immortal characters.
