Shuffy2 recommends Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, "Beatrice and Benedick & Lizzie and Darcy- there are some similarties! This is my favorite of Shakespeare's comedies! Two characters who love to spar with (see more) words, 2 couples who love each other, and a bad guy! Perfect mix..."
Julie-Beacon recommends Finding Creatures & Other Stories by C. June Wolf, "These two books are on opposite sides of the same circle. One is a novel, the other is a collection of short stories; one is a period piece, the other (see more) (see more) spans time into the future; one is a romance, the other is eclectic, even wacky. The similarity is introspection and a love of narrative and language. "Finding Creatures" is highly recommended for those readers who like to reflect on what they read instead of racing through the pages."
lydiabarr recommends Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield, "Austen and Delafield are often compared...both have shrewdly observational sense of humor and an elaborately deadpan style. I love them both."
amanaceerdh recommends Excellent Women by Barbara Pym
amanaceerdh recommends Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
Shuffy2 recommends North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, "Mr. Darcy and Mr. Thornton are both of the same cloth, a love story you can really sink into!"
Bonzer recommends Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
ysar recommends Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley by Linda Berdoll
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: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman (Fitzwilliam Darcy Gentleman) 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."
carlym recommends The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
carlym recommends Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
carlym recommends Excellent Women by Barbara Pym
BookishRuth recommends North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
lilithcat recommends Some Tame Gazelle by Barbara Pym, "Some Tame Gazelle was Barbara Pym's first book, but I would really recommend any of her works to admirers of Jane Austen. She has the same sensibility, (see more) the same grasp of the English social order and the English village, and populates her books with very similar people. But, more important, she has the same sense of humor, and the same marvelous touch with comedies of manners."
