What Our Customers Say...

Description

Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

In two volumes, continuing 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Emma'. Each volume in the original unclipped dustwrapper. Part of the Goldfinch Titles series. The illustrated endpapers show fashions from the newspapers of the time. 'Pride and Prejudice' is perhaps one of the most famous love stories of all time. Mr Darcy and Lizzie Bennet suffer equally from their pride and prejudices, ensuring a tumultuous journey for them. 'Emma' follows about a year in the life of the young woman Emma Woodhouse, who decides to try her hand at matchmaking, finding matches for her new best friend, Harriet. Jane Austen has become one of the most popular Georgian writers, her novels being loved for generations. Her ironic social commentary offers an interesting insight into Upper-Middle class Georgian life. Her other novels are 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Northanger Abbey', 'Mansfield Park', and 'Persuasion'.
