Therefore, with no fortune or security of their own, the girls must marry well—and thus is launched the story of spirited and opinionated Elizabeth Bennet and the arrogant and aloof bachelor Mr. Darcy.   An entertaining portrait of nineteenth century matrimonial rites and rivalries, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is timeless in its hilarity and honesty. As Elizabeth and Darcy’s first impressions lead to civilized sparring and ultimately true and enduring love, it becomes clear why this masterwork renowned for its romance and wit.2cover  aYoung womenzEnglandvFiction2localuoh  aSocial classeszEnglandxHistoryvFiction2localuoh  aEnglandxSocial life and customsvFiction2localuoh  aDrabble, Margaret,d1939-  aJames, Eloisa.
