▾LibraryThing Recommendations   50 6412 Persuasion by Jane Austen (sturlington)385 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (Headinherbooks_27)375 Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare (Shuffy2)Shuffy2: 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 words, 2 couples who love each other, and a bad guy! Perfect mix... 324 The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (carlym)303 North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (BookishRuth, Shuffy2)Shuffy2: Mr. Darcy and Mr. Thornton are both of the same cloth, a love story you can really sink into! 314 Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (Bonzer)281 The Annotated Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (humouress)humouress: For those who love Pride and Prejudice, and want to know more about the context it was written in, the annotated version adds depth to Jane Austen's work. 274 Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell (dawnlovesbooks)275 Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell (chrisharpe)chrisharpe: 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 written that they remain classics. 247 Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (dawnlovesbooks)214 The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton (SandSing7)SandSing7: Wharton is as American as Austen is British. Read both works for a comparitive "across the pond" view on the novel of manners. 167 I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (HollyMS)102 Excellent Women by Barbara Pym (carlym, dawnlovesbooks)82 Some Tame Gazelle by Barbara Pym (lilithcat)lilithcat: 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, 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.… (more) 51 The Cambridge Introduction to Jane Austen by Janet Todd (aynar)73 Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield (lydiabarr)lydiabarr: Austen and Delafield are often compared...both have shrewdly observational sense of humor and an elaborately deadpan style. I love them both. 30 Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (spiralsheep)spiralsheep: I can't believe there isn't already a rec for this, the closest possible read-a-like. 52 Belinda by Maria Edgeworth (catherinestead)85 The Making of Pride and Prejudice (BBC) by Susie Conklin (aynar)

| First words |
(Introduction) Jane Austen was born in 1775, the daughter of the rector of Steventon, and she lived in this quiet village in its quiet Hampshire landscape until she was twenty-six years old.  It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. | |
|
| Quotations |
The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance. Do not be afraid of my running into any excess, of my encroaching on your privilege of universal good will. You need not. There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense. "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." "I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!" Though Lydia's short letter to Mrs. F. gave them to understand that they were going to Gretna Green, something was dropped by Denny expressing his belief that W. never intended to go there, or to marry Lydia at all, which was repeated to Colonel F., who, instantly taking the alarm, set off from B. intending to trace their route. He did trace them easily to Clapham, but no farther; for on entering that place they removed into a hackney-coach and dismissed the chaise that brought them from Epsom. All that is known after this is that they were seen to continue the London road. I know not what to think. After making every possible enquiry on that side London, Colonel F. came on into Hertfordshire, anxiously renewing them at all the turnpikes, and at the inns in Barnet and Hatfield, but without any success; no such people had been seen to pass through. With the kindest concern he came on to Longbourn, and broke his apprehensions to us in a manner most creditable to his heart. | |
|
| Last words |
Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |

| Book description |
Austen’s most celebrated novel tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, a bright, lively young woman with four sisters, and a mother determined to marry them to wealthy men. At a party near the Bennets’ home in the English countryside, Elizabeth meets the wealthy, proud Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth initially finds Darcy haughty and intolerable, but circumstances continue to unite the pair. Mr. Darcy finds himself captivated by Elizabeth’s wit and candor, while her reservations about his character slowly vanish. The story is as much a social critique as it is a love story, and the prose crackles with Austen’s wry wit. | |
