Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

The slow burn love affair between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy is one of the best known and best loved stories in the English language, fuelled by multiple films, TV series and spin offs in recent years. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's rendering of the changeability of human feelings and the delicacy of social situations is at its most acute. But who was proud, and who was prejudiced? How important are first impressions? How rich was Mr Darcy? Why can some people understand their shortcomings, while others can't? And why do we take such delight in the disasters of our neighbours? Join Rupert and Charlie as they discuss what is probably Jane Austen's most celebrated novel.
