Time: Pride and Prejudice was first written in 1796 as First Impressions. It was rewritten (and retitled) in 1812 and published in 1813.

Part Two: About the Author.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born at Steventon rectory in Hampshire, England. Austen was the youngest daughter of the large family, with six brothers and one sister. Her father is a clergyman.

When Austen was eight years old, she was sent to Oxford to be educated. Because of some accident, she returned home to continue her education. From 1785 to 1786, Austen and her sister attended the Reading Ladies Boarding School, where they studied French, spelling, needlework, music, and dancing. Forced to return home for economic reasons, Austen continued to develop her literary mind under the guidance of her father.

Beginning in her teen years, Austen wrote poems, stories, and comic pieces for the amusement of her family. She compiled several of the pieces written between 1787 and 1793 into three bound n otebooks, which are now referred as Austen’s Juvenilia. Austen was also exposed to drama and comedy. Austen also became to sketch out ideas for the novel that would later become Sense and Sensibility.

In 1795, Austen met Tom Lefroy, the nephew of their neighbors at Steventon. Austen spent a great deal of time with Tom Lefroy and had romantic feelings with him. Unfortunately, a marriage between the two was impractical, and Lefroy’s family soon sent him away. After her brief romance with Lefroy, Austen began work on a second novel called First Impressions, which would later become Pride and Prejudice.

While living at Chawton, Austen saw the anonymous publication of four of her novels: Sense and Sensibility in 1811, Pride and Prejudice in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, and Emma in 1815. In July 1816, Austen completed the first draft of her next novel, titled The Elliots, which would later be published as Persuasion.

In early 1816, Austen suffered an illness (Most biographers believe that she suffered from Addis on’s disease) that led her to death the following year. Despite her illness, Austen continued to work on her writing. She revised the ending to The Elliots and started work on Sandition. She died on July 8, 1817, leaving Sandition unfinished, and was burie d at the city’s famous cathedral. The two novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published posthumously as a set in 1817.

Jane Austen never married in her whole life. She lived most of her life in a community much like the one we find in Pride and Prejudice. Austen’s novel, focusing on courtship and marriage, remain well-known for their satiric depictions of English society and the manners of the time.Her insights of the lives of women during the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century –in addition to her ability to handle form, satire, and irony – have made her one of the most studied and influential novelists of her time.

II. Summary of the Book

The narrative opens with Mr. Bingley, a wealthy, charming and social young bachelor, moving into Netherfield house in the neighborhood of the Bennet family. Mr. Bingley is soon

well received, while his friend Mr. Darcy makes a less favorable first impression by appearing proud at a ball that they attend. Mr. Bingley singles out Elizabeth’s elder sister, Jane, for particular attention. And it soon becomes apparent that they have formed an attachment to each other. By contrast, Darcy and Elizabeth do not develop a good relationship with each other.

On paying a visit to Mr. Bingley’s sister, Jane catches a cold and is forced to stay at Netherfield for several days. Elizabeth arrives to take care of her sister. Mr. Darcy begins to perceive his attachment to Elizabeth.

Mr. Collins pays a visit to the Bennets. It soon becomes apparent that Mr. Collins has to choose a wife from the Bennet sisters and Elizabeth has been singled out. At the same time, Elizabeth forms an acquaintance with Mr. Wickham, a military officer. From Mr. Wickham, Elizabeth knows something bad about Mr. Darcy, which makes Elizabeth have more prejudice against Mr. Darcy.

At a ball given by Mr. Bingley at Netherfield, Mr. Darcy becomes aware of a general expectation that Mr. Bingley and Jane will marry. But the Bennet family, with the exception of Jane and Elizabeth, behave in poor manners at the ball. The following morning, Mr. Collins asks Elizabeth to marry him, but is refused. Mr. Collins recovers and becomes engaged to Elizabeth’s close friend Charlotte. Mr. Bingley returns to London suddenly, and Elizabeth is convinced that Mr. Darcy separates him from her sister Jane.

In the spring, Elizabeth visits Charlotte and Mr. Collins. They visit Rosings Park, home of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy’s aunt. Coincidentally, Darcy also arrives to visit. Darcy again finds himself attracted to Elizabeth and proposes to her. Elizabeth, however, has just learned of Darcy’s role in separating Mr. Bingley from Jane. So she gets angry with him and quarrels with him. Mr. Darcy responds with a letter, explaining his actions. Elizabeth later came to acknowledge the truth of Darcy’s words.

Some months later, Elizabeth and her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner visit Pemberley, Darcy’s estate, believing that he will be absent for the day. But Mr. Darcy returns unexpectedly. Though surprised, Mr. Darcy shows welcome to their visitation. He treats the Gardiners friendly and introduces Elizabeth to his sister. And Elizabeth begins to pay attention to Mr. Darcy. At this time, Elizabeth knows that her sister Lydia has run away with Mr. Wickham.

Lydia and Wickham are soon found, and then married. They visit home, and Lydia speaks carelessly that it is Mr. Darcy who finds the couple and negotiates their marriage at great expense. Elizabeth is shocked at it. Mr. Bingley returns suddenly and asks Jane to marry him and she immediately accepts.

Lady Catherine de Bourgh later shows up in Longbourn. She warns Elizabeth not to marry Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth refuses her demands. Angrily, Lady Catherine leaves and tells her nephew on Elizabeth’s bad behavior, hoping that Mr. Darcy will not marry her. However, this brings hope to Darcy that Elizabeth’s opinion of him may have changed. He visits Longbourn and proposes again and now Elizabeth accepts.

III. My Comments on the Book

Pride and Prejudice was the representative work of Jane Austen. It gives a vivid expression of the reactionary and traditional country life and people’s minds during the 18th centuries and the 19th centuries in Britain to us. This great novel not only attracted thousands of readers i n Austen’s time, but also gave a special feeling to today’s people. I like this book very much.

I always think why the title is Pride and Prejudice. I have been confused for a long time, but now I understand. Pride and Prejudice are the things that help determine the actions of the two main characters and the development of the plot. In this sense, the story is about pride and prejudice, about the effects of these vices on people and events. Pride refers to Darcy’s behavior, and prejudice links with Elizab eth’s view on Darcy. Pride produces prejudice.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” Everybody knows the first sentence of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The famous opening sentence, which is humorous and famous, represents the perfect marriage between the content and style. I can find the same echo from this opening sentence in many parts of the novel. In the whole book, various combinations, comparison and contrasts of different characters and situations are presented by the author.

Some people hold the view that the author failed to narrate several of the characters, such as Lydia and Mr. Wickham. It is no doubt true that the novel would be richer if we know Lydia’s and Mr. Wickham’s experience. And so on. As to my own conclusion, I do not agree with this point of view. I think there should be main characters and other characters in a novel. If the author writes too much about other characters, then main characters will fade. At the same time, leaving some room for readers to imagine is also of great importance.

In this novel, Mrs. Bennet is a representative of the generality of people who consider the gaining of a son-in-low in terms of the acquisition of property. It is this attitude that makes her not only comic but also shocking and at times disgusting. As to my opinion, marriage should mainly base on sentiment rather than economic conditions. True love is much important than money.

Elizabeth Bennet is the protagonist of the novel and Mr. Darcy is the male protagonist of the novel. The course of Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship is decided when Darcy overcomes his pride, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, leading to their coming together at last.

Love is really a wonderful thing. If one pursues a true love he should never give up or submit to anything. Stick to the principle and do not be afraid of misunderstanding. I believe one day happiness will come true.

However, in England the figure maybe is my most admirable authoress Miss Austen who can never have too many respects from the common people just like me. After read her two masterpieces of books Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, I feel so proud of being female to see a world-famous authoress using her independent thoughts, humor words to show us the relationship between the so-called superiors and the lower-class. At that time, neither in the east nor in the west, it is not so easy for a woman to become a great figure with literary reputation. In China Li made it, while in England Miss Austen with her unique characteristic also realized her dream after a long struggle with the temporal points. It seems that all in Jane’s life, she made a decision between sense and sensibility; once there was an old saying “Affection is desirable, money is absolutely indispensable.” She resolutely chose her true love but not a splendid life or a comfortable home, what a pity

Publication History and Critical Reception Pride and Prejudice, probably the most popular of Austen's finished novels, was also, in a sense, the first to be composed. The original version, First Impressions, was completed by 1797, but was rejected for publication —no copy of the original has survived. The work was rewritten around 1812 and published in 1813 as Pride and Prejudice. The final form must have been a thorough rewriting of the original effort, for it is representative of the mature Austen. Moreover, the story clearly takes place in the early nineteenth century rather than in the late eighteenth century. Austen's works, including Pride and Prejudice, were barely noticed by critics during her lifetime. Pride and Prejudice sold fairly well — the first edition sold out at about 1,500 copies. Critics who eventually reviewed it in the early part of the nineteenth century praised Austen's characterizations and portrayal of everyday life. After Austen's death in 1817, the book continued to be published and read with little attention from critics for the next fifty years. The few critical comments made during that time continued to focus on her skill at creating characters, as well as on her technical mastery. In 1870, probably the most significant nineteenth-century critical article on Austen was published by Richard Simpson; in the article, Simpson discussed the complexity of Austen's work, including her use of irony. Modern Austen scholarship began in 1939 with the publication of Jane Austen and Her Art, by Mary Lascelle. The scope and vision of that book prompted other scholars to take a closer look at Austen's works. Pride and Prejudice began getting serious attention in the 1940s and has continued to be studied heavily since that time. Modern critics take a variety of approaches to the novel, including historical, economical, feminist, and linguistic. Various critics have consistently noted that the plot development of Pride and Prejudice is determined by character — coincidence exerts a major influence, but turns of action are precipitated by character. Although human weakness is a prominent element, ranging from Miss Bingley's jealousy to Elizabeth's blind prejudices, outright evil is little in evidence. Austen maintains an attitude of good-humored irony toward her characters. Pride and Prejudice, probably the most popular of Austen's finished novels, was also, in a sense, the first to be composed. The original version, First Impressions, was completed by 1797, but was rejected for publication —no copy of the original has survived.

It makes me feel a lot, and I also feel a lot. This book mainly talks about: at the dance, Elizabeth, a country lady from a decent family but without rich dowry, met Darcy, the son of a rich family. At that time, her arrogance annoyed Elizabeth. With villains provocation, Elizabeth misunderstood Darcy more and more deeply. Darcy, the prince of white horse, fell in love with the beautiful and lively "Cinderella" in one contact, but the difference between the two made Darcy always hold an arrogant attitude towards Elizabeth, which, together with Elizabeths growing misunderstanding of Darcy, constituted the contradiction between "Pride and slowness" and "Prejudice".

We should also learn to understand each other, not because of other peoples provocation and constitute harm to others; learn to tolerate each other. Make our society better.

傲慢与偏见英文读书报告

傲慢与偏见英文读书报告 Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a classic piece of literature that explores the themes of love, marriage, and social hierarchy in 19th-century England. The story follows the Bennet family, particularly the second eldest daughter Elizabeth, as they navigate the complex world of courtship and societal expectations. The novel opens with one of the most famous lines in English literature: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." This sets the stage for the central theme of the book, which is the search for a suitable spouse. Elizabeth Bennet, a witty and intelligent young woman, is reluctant to conform to societal norms and marry for financial security rather than love. She initially forms a negative judgment of the wealthy and aloof Mr. Darcy, whom she believes to be arrogant and prideful. However, as the story unfolds, Elizabeth begins to realize that her own prejudice has clouded her judgment and that there is more to Mr. Darcy than meets the eye. Throughout the novel, Austen explores the limited options available to women at the time and the pressure they faced to secure a good marriage. The Bennet family, with five daughters and no male heir, is in a precarious position as they must marry well in order to secure their future. Austen also highlights the importance of marrying for love rather than simply for financial gain, as exemplified by Elizabeth's sister, Lydia, who is driven by her infatuation with the charming but irresponsible Mr. Wickham.
