Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' Few novelists have mapped the landscape of the heart with such pinpoint precision as Jane Austen. Her novel Pride and Prejudice is at once a deeply felt love story, a deft romantic comedy, and a sharp exploration of social life and manners in Georgian England. With Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, she created two characters whose battles over love have entertained and delighted millions of readers and moviegoers. In this new edition of Pride and Prejudice, readers will find not only the full novel but engaging side notes that offer more background on social customs, parallels to Austen's own life, thoughts on the book's themes of faith, and helpful explanations.

After reading this edition, I actually love this story more. I found this book in the library and just wanted to re-read it. Little did I know how much I would enjoy it!
Like the editors, I love this book. Like them, I've watched the 1940's, A&E and 2005 versions of "Pride & Prejudice" as well as the movie "Bride and Prejudice".
The editors have put comments in the book which includes annecdotal info about the movies, the story/characters, the history, some religious themes, romance and their own loving commentary. It made reading the book kind of like reading it with a friend who loves the story too. In fact, at times I wished they had given more annotation. Examples of the annotation include information about the different carriages families travel in (comparing it to modern day cars). My fav is the comment about Darcy diving into the water!
I'm buying this edition as a gift for friends who love the book too. I know they will like it as much as I do.

I am a big fan on Jane Austen, so when this book was put out I had to get it. The book its self is written just like the classic; however, it has humorous and interesting side notes through out the book. I find the side notes very fun and interesting to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the classic version.
