“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s witty comedy of manners—one of the most popular novels of all time—that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the “most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author’s works,” and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as “irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.”

Jane Austen
Jane Austen nació en la rectoría de Steventon, al noreste de Hampshire, el 16 de diciembre de 1775. Séptima hija del reverendo George Austen y de Cassandra Leigh, Jane Austen fue una destacada novelista británica que, gracias a su gran habilidad para retratar a la sociedad en la que vivió, es considerada como uno de los clásicos de la literatura inglesa. Las novelas de Jane Austen son un reflejo de la nobleza rural inglesa de la época; gracias a su ironía e ingenio y a lo atractivo de su narrativa, se mantienen como un referente de la literatura universal. Su obra ha sido adaptada al cine, al teatro y a la televisión en numerosas ocasiones. Durante la décadade 1790 escribió los primeros borradores de sus exitosas novelas Sentido y sensibilidad, La abadía de Northanger y Orgullo y prejuicio, inspiradas en el color local de Kent y Bath. Entre 1810 y 1817 verían la luz Emma, Mansfield Park y Persuasión. Austen falleció en 1817 en Winchester.
