Pride and Prejudice is one of the most beloved books of all time, and nothing captures the vivid emotion and keen wit of Jane Austen's novel better than the characters' correspondence. It is, after all, Darcy's heartfelt letter that finally changes Elizabeth's feelings from hostility and suspicion to respect and love.
Barbara Heller's specially curated edition, first published in 2020, brought these epistles to life and became a fan favorite. Pockets throughout the novel contain handwritten replicas of nineteen letters, from Mr. Collins's unctuous letter of introduction to Jane's urgent missive announcing Lydia's elopement. Readers can pull out each piece, peruse its contents, and feel transported to the breakfast table at Longbourn.
Now, this collector's edition offers a luxurious cloth binding, deluxe paper, and new printed ephemera that lend an additional dimension to the reading experience:
