Pride and prejudice / Jane Austen ; edited with an introduction and notes by Vivien Jones ; with the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner.

Summary:

The classic story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these -- the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy -- irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring.
