This is a diverting delight, a window on romance in literature. There are high lovers and low lovers, tragic lovers, comic lovers, and lovers who shouldn’t be doing what they are doing at all and certainly not then and there. There is even Fanny Hill trying not to discover what physical love is about when set upon by an old roué who has paid for the privilege. Though of special interest for lovers and their special lover’s day of St. Valentine, it is an amusing and sometimes surprising collection.

Jane Austen's early novels are a comic portrait of characters and society. Pride and Prejudice depicts late 18th-, early 19th-century England where the social class system was very rigid. Behavior was very important, especially for women who were hoping to find a husband, and having good behavior meant sticking to the right manners and right forms of address. Everyone watched everyone else and noted even tache slightest changes in mannerism, so it was very important to use the right manners all the time. This applied to women much more than to men.

Questo terzo romanzo della Austen, che viene dopo "Ragione e sentimento" e "Orgoglio e pregiudizio", fu pubblicato nel 1814 ed ebbe subito un grande successo di pubblico, pur essendo stato pubblicato a spese dell'autrice (che continuava a mantenere l'anonimato). La Austen continua nella sua analisi apparentemente distaccata delle dinamiche familiari e della società rispetto all'importanza del denaro nelle scelte matrimoniali.

Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly abridged and remastered stories are now available to download. Impressively witty, beautiful and vain, with a penchant for meddling, Emma Woodhouse is a mischievous force to be reckoned with. Though she has convinced herself that she will never marry, she somehow has garnered skills for 'matchmaking'. The formidable Prunella Scales brings the satirical bite to this timeless comedy of manners, reigniting Austen's unfailing exploration of society's obsession with class, its influence on a woman's choices and a woman's right to love.
