Discover Jane Austen’s most beloved classic.

When Elizabeth Bennet meets Mr Darcy, she is repelled by his overbearing pride and prejudice towards her family. But the Bennet girls are in need of financial security in the shape of husbands, so when Darcy’s friend, the affable Mr Bingley, forms an attachment to Jane, Darcy becomes increasingly hard to avoid. Polite society will be turned upside down in this witty drama of friendship, rivalry and love – Jane Austen's classic romance novel.

**One of the BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Paperback not annotated
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2021

I bought this because my old Penguin edition was falling apart. I couldn't find publisher information but it says it was printed by Amazon. Despite saying "(Annotated)" on the cover it isn't, so perhaps it is for GCSE students who mustn't be provided with anybody else's views. Unlike my old Penguin it is larger than moderate handbag size if you want to read on the train or bus - or even in bed.

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813 in three volumes, the customary presentation of a novel in the early 19th Century. Penguin Press has provided Kindle owners with a wonderful enhanced version of the novel preserving the three volume format without attempting to standardize or modernize the text.

The Penguin book is presented by Juliette Wells, Enhanced E-book Features Editor. It is edited with an introduction and informative notes by Vivien Jones. The result is a very readable yet scholarly treatment of the novel, with a biography of Jane Austen, 19th Century reviews of the book, descriptions of how to make tea and Jane Austen's eating habits, and much more.

The last time I read Pride and Prejudice was in 1966 in an English literature class in college. I challenged the professor's choice of reading material as completely irrelevant given the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement and protests on my college campus, San Francisco State. It was a pleasure to reread the book with the wisdom of age supplemented by the excellent notes throughout the three volumes. Kindle owners can, with a spin of the wheel and a click, read explanations of the semantics of the vocabulary used by Austen, consider content interpretations, view illustrations of fashion, learn historical dance steps, and see period architecture.

The focus of the production, of course, is the novel with its themes of first impressions, pride, vanity, seduction, feminism, prejudice, sexism, fatal attraction, society, intellectual domination, morality, etiquette, marriage, heritability, class structure, the family as a purposeful unit, and personal happiness. I highlighted many passages and notes to read again and enjoy. One example is from Volume 1 when Darcy says to Elizabeth, "There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome." Another example of my highlights is from Volume 2 when Elizabeth states, "The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense." And here is an example of an explanatory note I highlighted from Volume 3, "e3. Elizabeth's determination here matches her effort throughout the novel to pursue what she considers to be her own happiness; compare her response to Mr. Collin's proposal of marriage in chapter 19." The novel, notes, and other features allow the reader to experience the historical context of the first edition.

Before reading Pride and Prejudice, I reread James Joyce's Ulysses on my Kindle with Don Gifford's Ulysses Annotated paperback book as a guide. It would have been a better reading experience to have this excellent source integrated with the novel. Penguin's enhanced e-books with built in reference features will be excellent for new publications of classic novels. I learned a great deal more about Austen's novel in the convenient Kindle format than I did 42 years ago in college. Hopefully, I'll be able to add many enhanced Penguin classics to my Kindle Library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Penguin Enriched eBook: the best Kindle edition so far.
Reviewed in the United States on 9 April 2010
Verified Purchase
The "Enriched" Pride and Prejudice sits somewhere between the Penguin Classics editions, with introduction and endnotes, and the more comprehensive and scholarly-minded Norton Critical editions. What you get with this book is a carefully set text, with original spelling and punctuation maintained, plus the following "bonus features":

* Introduction (with spoiler alert at the beginning, nice!)
* Introduction of original Penguin Classics edition
* Notes
* Nineteenth-Century Reviews of Pride and Prejudice
* Chronology
* Suggested Further Reading
* What Austen Ate
* How to Prepare Tea
* Austen Sites to Visit in England
* Map of Sites from Pride and Prejudice
* Behaving Yourself: Etiquette and Dancing in Austen's Day
* Illustrations of Fashion, Home Décor, Architecture, and Transporation (which are linked to in some of the notes)
* Enriched eBook Notes

The notes (both sets) are extremely useful and deal mostly with the historical, social & cultural context of the action.

The navigation in the kindle is perfectly good, and there are no formatting issues. The only thing i miss is chapter-level TOC links for faster, easier reference and access (only the three volumes are linked). This, of course, can be amended by manaualy adding a bookmark when you reach each chapter.

You can think of this enriched P&P as a general reader's Norton edition. Or as a Warner Bros. DVD as opposed to a Criterion. Not as highbrow and stacked, but (more than) good enough. The well-set text and the supplements and notes provide a much needed added value in these times of freely available e-books of classic literature.

... as for the novel. Jane Austen rocks, baby!

note: somebody at amazon made a mistake, and the cover that appears up there is from the Oxford Classics edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best versions of this book in any format
Reviewed in the United States on 9 June 2008

This is a very good edition of Pride and Prejudice, the fact that it is on Kindle is a bonus! The story reads well on the Kindle, the notes all link, the picture are clear, and it has many extras that the good paper versions have, and a couple of extras I've never seen in a print version. Just wonderful. You can get this "book" public domain, for free and get it on an ereader, but this version is formatted so well, and has so many extras about the author, the time in which she lived and habits of the day that it is worth the money. It is the only ereader edition I have found that has the notes linked available and fully functional. I am looking forward to reading the other Penguin enhanced classic that they put out for Kindle.
