Synopsis "Pride and Prejudice (British Library Deluxe Facsimile Edition): A Novel. In Three Volumes."

This handsome three-volume facsimile of the first edition of Jane Austen’s beloved novel is a must-have for fans, bibliophiles, and anyone who loves English language and literature.

Published in association with The British Library on the 250th anniversary of Austen’s birth, this beautiful and authoritative package showcases the first edition as it was originally published in 1813 by T. Egerton in London; designed to be the clearest and finest expression of the art of bookmaking at the time of its first publication in the early nineteenth century. Presented in a distinctive clamshell case, each volume features marbled paper, deckled edges, and other decorative flourishes.

Austen’s work has been enchanting readers for centuries with its universal story of premature judgment and stubbornness in love. Though set in Regency England, it has a timeless quality that has made it a keystone in the cultural landscape—retold and reimagined with each new generation.

Included in a special compartment in the clamshell are reproductions of handwritten letters, documents, and other ephemera from Austen’s archive and personal effects, as well as a booklet containing an expert introduction by the collection’s head curator. This publication invites Austen fans to forever own this iconic novel in its original form.

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)
