Elizabeth's initial dislike of Darcy eventually turns into love after she realizes her prejudice toward him and he lessens his sense of pride (and vice versa!) (  ) purkskis | Nov 28, 2009 |  I've read Pride and Prejudice a considerable number of times, many different editions; but from now on I will only read this one. It's like sharing a beloved book with a friend. Mr. Shapard is obviously a fan and it shows thru. From detailed minutiae about period life, to witty asides sure to get a chuckle; every note is well crafted. I was afraid that it would be too much like a "Cliff's Notes" version but it was far different and in my opinion superior. Even if, like me, you have read P&P many times, I urge you to give this edition a try. You will be well rewarded. ( ) knitgeisha | Nov 19, 2009 | I've read P&P many times, but this time was the most enjoyable! The explanations and supplemental information brought Elizabeth's world to life, and the chronology was kind of eye-opening in the way many events are clustered. There is a list of suggested reading on all areas of contemporary life. Highly recommended for any JA fan. ( ) popoki | Feb 7, 2009 | Invaluable. Great for learning the background of this period, the subtleties of Austen's writing and explaining how certain words mean different things at this time. Had drawings which were helpful, I now know to identify a barouche vs. chaise on sight. Some reviewers comment on the repetitiveness, I didn't find that so much of a problem because there was so much info, it wasn't a common thing. This really helped me read the other Austen works. ( ) Cauterize | Jan 13, 2009 | This is a great addition to the library of Jane Austen fans. I love Pride and Prejudice more and more each time I read it and this book made my last reading so enjoyable. Many of the footnotes were of information I already knew, but many are also specific to the manners and etiquette of the time which I was unfamiliar with.
