Pride & Prejudice (Wordsworth Classics)
Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex.
Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband.
With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.

Elizabeth Bennett has to be one of the most treasured characters is literature, if not the most. That strong spitfire who refuses to mary the first man who comes along and asks. In a time when women needed men for everything that was audacious. Shefollowed her heart and we love her for that. Never settle queens!
