Pride and Prejudice (British Library Deluxe Facsimile Edition)

This handsome three-volume facsimile of the first edition of Jane Austen's beloved novel is a must-have for fans, bibliophiles, and anyone who loves English language and literature. Published in association with The British Library on the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth, this beautiful and authoritative package showcases the first edition as it was originally published in 1813 by T. Egerton in London; designed to be the clearest and finest expression of the art of bookmaking at the time of its first publication in the early nineteenth century. Presented in a distinctive clamshell case, each volume features marbled paper, deckled edges, and other decorative flourishes. Austen's work has been enchanting readers for centuries with its universal story of premature judgment and stubbornness in love. Though set in Regency England, it has a timeless quality that has made it a keystone in the cultural landscape--retold and reimagined with each new generation. Included in a special compartment in the clamshell are reproductions of handwritten letters, documents, and other ephemera from Austen's archive and personal effects, as well as a booklet containing an expert introduction by the collection's head curator. This publication invites Austen fans to forever own this iconic novel in its original form.
