Book Reviews of The Annotated Pride and PrejudiceBook Review: Very Informative Summary: 5 Stars
I had trouble understanding the language, but with the notes directly on the opposite page, it helps the reader truly appreciate what Austen was saying. I also like the author's insights into what was going on in the world at the time the novel was written, it adds a whole new dimension to the book.
Book Review: The Annotated Pride and Prejudice Summary: 5 Stars
The Annotated pride and Prejudice met expectations. It is a very scolarly and interesting book. It is great to have the text on one page and the notes on the opposite page. I am one of those who read for the subtext and cultural background, which these notes provide in excellent detail.
Book Review: Jane Austen Fans Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Jane Austen fan and obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, then this book is for you. It has text on one side and notes on the opposite. The notes explain words and terms that are either out of date or definitely British. It also helps with passages that seem inexplicable.
Book Review: Perfect for the Austen fan Summary: 5 Stars
As a lifelong Austen fan, I figured I knew at least most of the meaning behind the words that have changed over the last 200 years. How much fun to find out there was more to learn. Plus an explanation of inheritance, finances, etiquette and propriety, etc. A luxurious reading time.
Book Review: very helpful Summary: 5 Stars
The annotations were VERY helpful, sure there were some words that were obvious, but for the most part-- it made the book sooo much easier to understand exactly what they are saying... it actualy made me understand certain parts of the movie that I didn't notice before.
