Summary

Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.

Joanna Lumley was sublime

My only disappointment is that this is an abridged version rather than the full text but Joanna Lumley's reading more than makes up for that.

My absolute favourite

I love Joanna Lumley's voice, but I didn't realise this was an abridged retelling. Many of my favourite lines were gone, and Mary barely appears.

very much abridged
