Pride and Prejudice November 18, 2006

Jane Austen's ever-popular romance chronicles the always delicious, often highly amusing and sometimes heartbreaking details of a turbulent and true romance between the witty and sensible Elizabeth Bennett, a gentlewoman of modest means, and handsome but taciturn and antisocial Mr. Darcy. After a disastrous first encounter, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy find themselves involved in an unlikely courtship that will challenge each of them to overcome their chief vices - pride and prejudice. Set in the class-conscious England of the late 1700s, this enduring favorite is replete with brilliant observations about not only the customs and manners of the period, but also the foibles and follies of humanity in all times.
