Classic Literature. Fiction. Literature. HTML:

This first-ever fully annotated edition of one of the most beloved novels in the world is a sheer delight for Jane Austen fans. Here is the complete text of Pride and Prejudice with more than 2,300 annotations on facing pages, including:

  • Explanations of historical context

Rules of etiquette, class differences, the position of women, legal and economic realities, leisure activities, and more.

  • Citations from Austen's life, letters, and other writings

Parallels between the novel and Austen's experience are revealed, along with writings that illuminate her beliefs and opinions.

  • Definitions and clarifications

Archaic words, words still in use whose meanings have changed, and obscure passages are explained.

  • Literary comments and analyses

Insightful notes highlight Austen's artistry and point out the subtle ways she develops her characters and themes.

  • Maps and illustrations

of places and objects mentioned in the novel.

  • An introduction, a bibliography, and a detailed chronology of events

Of course, one can enjoy the novel without knowing the precise definition of a gentleman, or what it signifies that a character drives a coach rather than a hack chaise, or the rules governing social interaction at a ball, but readers of The Annotated Pride and Prejudice will find that these kinds of details add immeasurably to understanding and enjoying the intricate psychological interplay of Austen's immortal characters.

Delicious. I really enjoyed the annotations. They really added even more depth and texture to an already classic novel. Highly recommended. ( )
  tgraettinger | Apr 7, 2020 |
I get it. I completely get that Austen was a genius. Writing P&P when she was 20 years old; her intuitive, almost unearthly understanding of class and families and relationships; the way her prose was so much more direct and economical than her contemporaries; the humor, the sarcasm (Miss Bingley was snarky nearly 200 years before bloggers existed!)... all of it. I am wholly appreciative of her genius.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Can't do it. I've tried, more than once, but I just don't care if Mr. Darcy has 10,000 a year. ( )

Obviously I'm going to rate P&P 5 stars, but this edition is also star-worthy. This series of Austen's novels, edited and annotated by David M. Shaprd, is absolutely indispensable to Austen lovers and anyone interested in the Regency period. Shapard's thousands of notes include information on everything from furniture and clothing to social mores and literary themes.

Do NOT read this edition if you haven't read P&P before. There are spoilers, and Shapard doesn't warn about them. He gives all-cap spoiler-alerts in his "Emma," so a quick glance at an annotation can warn a new reader not to read that particular snippet; but he assumes that readers of P&P are already familiar with the story. (Actually, he doesn't assume that -- he warns readers in the introduction that he'll be ruining some surprises.) ( )

Even readers who have already amassed a fair amount of Austen background knowledge will probably glean some new tidbits from this facing-page annotated edition. I, for instance, learned that Darcy was as rich your average earl, that Mr. Collins really was unusually lucky to get his “living,” and the difference between a chaise and a barouche, among other tidbits. The annotations also tend toward more interpretive comments, explaining, for instance, Jane Austen’s likely views on marriage (quite conventional and generally favorable, but definitely opposed to loveless ones). Highly recommended for any fan looking to re-read and pick up some new facts and ideas at the same time. Probably not, however, the best way to experience the text for the first time as some of the annotations give away things that happen later. ( )
