The #AnHistorianReads book club is pressing into 2022 with one of the most beloved classics, Pride and Prejudice! Our little online book club tends to stick to classics for the most part, and we are carrying on. With both the second season of Sanditon and the second season of Bridgerton premiering in March, it made complete sense to head back to the Regency period. And there is no better Regency author than Jane Austen herself!
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighborhood, the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If Elizabeth Bennet returns again and again to her letter from Mr Darcy, readers of the novel are drawn even more irresistibly to its captivating wisdom.

Starting on 15 January (Saturday), the #AnHistorianReads book club will be reading Pride and Prejudice! We will be reading 5 chapters a week, and the discussion for the week post goes up on Saturday morning. (You can respond at any time, though!) As always, anyone is welcome to join- we are a small but friendly group and love to talk books. You can find the group here if you would like to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/429294487548846.
You don’t need to read or listen to a specific edition; any book, ebook, or audiobook will work! We have open discussions, so there are no specific questions to “study up” for. Our aim is an easy and fun book chat, so there is no stress to deal with.
Will you be joining us for Pride and Prejudice?
Cheers,
The Historian
