New Softcover . This omnibus edition has Austen's four famous novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Her works can be considered both as romantic comedy and social satire. Austen gives us a deep psychological insight into the English society of those times. Her characters and events are based on people and circumstances which she happened to observe in real life. In most of her novels, her characters correct their flaws as a result of some suffering. In Sense and Sensibility, Austen makes the readers realize that sensibility, although wanted in all, should be balanced with good sense and judgment. Pride and Prejudice, her undoubted magnum opus, centers around the Bennet family, and the Bennet daughters' search for suitable husbands. This novel displays that reality should precede appearance, and deliberations precede impulse while forming opinions. Elibeth relying on her impulses and the appearance of Fitzwilliam Darcy forms a negative opinion of him. During the course of time deliberation and reality changes her attitude and both end up getting married. Mansfield Park introduces us to Fanny Price, an intelligent and sensitive girl who comes to live with her aunt, Lady and Sir Bertram, and her cousins. Patronized by three of her cousins, she ultimately finds a friend in Edmund, and marries him. The central theme of Emma is self-deception and the heroine, Emma Woodhouse is a total personification of the theme. This novel describes the transformation of a domineering, self-centered meddler Emma, into a humbled woman ready for marriage, to the aptly named, Mr. Knightly. Printed Pages: 1200. .

She is messy, slightly overweight and, even worse, she is still single. Clumsy Bridget spends her time downing drinks with her crazy single friends and strolling around the office with her little skirt. Helen Fielding s modern novel opens the diary of a British single woman who is desperately looking for Mr. Right in a world of emotional fuckwittages . Quite the contrary is Elizabeth Bennet, the young heroine in Jane Austen s most famous novel Pride and Prejudice. She is one of 5 daughters, polite, sophisticated, selfless and, due to her education, she would never compromise herself in public like Bridget always does. One can hardly believe that there can be found any parallels between Bridget Jones s Diary and the probably most romantic British novel, Pride and Prejudice. In fact, there are about 200 years between both works but they are indeed comparable...

New Hardcover . In the delightful social comedy of Pride and Prejudice (1813) Jane Austen delicately handles the problem of love and money in marriage where, in spite of many hurdles, eventually love triumphs over 'pride' and 'prejudice'. With a mild satiric tone Austen unfolds the growing romance between the Bennet daughters and the eligible young bachelors, but keeps the reader guessing, as much as the girls' mother and the neighbourhood, about the prospects of the tentative relationships. Elizabeth and Jane are the most delightful and the sweetest of the five Bennet sisters, but Jane's lover Mr Bingley has snobbish sisters and friends while Elizabeth's suitor Mr Darcy himself is proud of his lineage. How are the problems to be solved? Or, how does pride get humbled and prejudice dissolved? Every page is enjoyable for the mellowed humour, and fine narrative touches Printed Pages: 336.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 1,3, University of Münster, course: The Rise of the English Novel, 8 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Since it was my part to introduce Jane Austen in a paper on 18th century women writers I wanted to know more about the female writers at her time. I chose Pride and Prejudice because it is one of Jane Austen's most famous novels. While I was reading it I soon discovered that marriage is the main theme of the novel. I want to compare the different kinds of marriages described in the novel putting emphasis on the marriage of the hero-ine and the hero. I want to show the importance of marriage in women's eyes in the 18th century. In a further step I will take a closer look at the ending of the novel which has often been described as a fairytale ending on the one hand and as confirmation of patriarchal structures on the other. I want to show that the ending can be interpreted in a different way. I shall reveal that marriage in Pride and Prejudice is not only the essence romantic novels are made of but rather important to the existence of women in the 18th century.
