Synopsis "Pride and Prejudice"

This book is also available in large print and extra large print. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born at Steventon Rectory in Hampshire, England. One of her early writings, First Impressions, was written when she was around 21, and was sent to a publisher by her father. The novel was rejected. Some fifteen years later First Impressions was re-worked, and renamed - Pride and Prejudice. It was published in 1813. This all-time classic novel has since been adapted for stage, screen and television many times, and continues to be as popular today as it was, when first published over two hundred years ago.

Jane Austen

(Author)

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
