Jibesh Bhattacharya Illustrator: . Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (The Atlantic Critical Studies) Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd 2005 ISBN: 9788126905492

New Hardcover . Jams Austen (1775-1817) Jane Austen has been regarded by critics as the moot perfect artist in English fiction. George Saintsbury compared her to Shakespeare whose detachment and elusiveness she certainly shares. She was a truly great novelist of manners among the country gentry. Born in the family of a rector of Steventon in Hampshire, Jane Austen had her early education in Oxford and Reading. She started writing early in life. Between 1792 and 1798 she completed her first four novels, Lady Susan, First Impressions (later entitled Pride and Prejudice), Elinor and Marianne (later called Sense and Sensibility) and Northanger Abbey. Later she produced three more novels: Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion. She contracted tuberculosis and died tragically early at the age of 41. Although not recognized in her time, her popularity has increased, rather than faded, with the passing of years, which will be evident from the remark of F.R. Leavis: "Jane Austen inaugurated the great tradition of fiction." Pride and Prejudice was Jane AustenaEUR s first novel. She started writing it in 1797 under the title First Impressions. Later she revised it and it was published in 1813 under the title Pride and Prejudice. It is a novel mainly concerned with the problems of marriage. Four pairs, "Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bingley, Charlotte and Collins, Lydia and Wickham are married on different considerations. The main 3tory concerns the first pair who are first separated because of their pride and prejudice and later reconciled and united as their misunderstandings are removed. This novel has been accepted as the masterpiece of the novelist having a superbly balanced plot-construction and a well-defined character development. Jane Austen here succeeded in wedding realism to a lively dialogue and evolved a witty narrative style to express in the most vital manner the story of a young girl and her love.
