Pride and Prejudice: Extra Large Print

by Jane Austen

Overview

This edition is written in bold and font size 24.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born at Steventon Rectory in Hampshire, England. One of her early writings, First Impressions, was written when she was around 21, and was sent to a publisher by her father. The novel was rejected. Some fifteen years later First Impressions was re-worked, and renamed - Pride and Prejudice. It was published in 1813.

Pride and Prejudice has since been adapted for stage, screen and television many times, and continues to be as popular today as it was, when first published over two hundred years ago.

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author known primarily for her six major novels set among the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Considered defining works of the Regency Era and counted among the best–loved classics of English literature, Austen's books include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The latter two were published after her death. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." – Jane Austen
