Member recommendations:aynar recommends The Making of Pride and Prejudice (BBC) by Sue Birtwistle aynar recommends The Making of Pride and Prejudice (BBC) by Sue Birtwistle chrisharpe recommends Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell, "Both novels offer a similar sort of wry look at the foibles of the English classes in the 18th / 19th centuries. Both are so carefully observed and deliciously (see more) written that they remain classics." CatyM recommends Belinda by Maria Edgeworth Iralell recommends An assembly such as this by Pamela Aidan, "This is the first in a trilogy that reveals Darcy's mind and actions over the time period covered by Pride and Prejudice. Starts out a little rough, drags (see more) a bit in the middle, but the last book makes the whole series deeply valuable to P&P lovers."

Amazon.com (ISBN 0553213105, Mass Market Paperback)Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine: intelligent, generous, sensible, incapable of jealousy or any other major sin. That makes her sound like an insufferable goody-goody, but the truth is she's a completely hip character, who if provoked is not above skewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp -- but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend the whole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hook up?(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:01:29 -0400) |
