Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice Annotated: With Language Notes for the Modern Reader

Edited by Professor Stephen Howe

Jane Austen's writing still sparkles today, but English has changed much in the two hundred years since Pride and Prejudice was written. Nineteenth-century vocabulary is formal, and complex grammar can be difficult to understand.

Accessible Austen(TM) gives you the original text plus language notes on each page, translating Jane Austen's writing from the 1800s into easy-to-understand, modern English. It is perfect for readers who want to enjoy Pride and Prejudice without a dictionary.

It's also your 21st century guide to 19th century life. You can read about Elizabeth's beauty, Darcy's fortune, marriage, fashion, food and more.

Annotated and edited by Stephen Howe, PhD, Professor of English Historical Linguistics, the text is readable and reliable. With modern punctuation and spelling, it is ideal for students and teachers, too.
