David Shapard’s annotated editions of Jane Austen’s classics are a sheer delight. Alongside the novel, his annotations present historical context; citations from Austen’s life, letters, and writings; definitions and clarifications of the text; literary comments and analysis; maps and illustrations; in addition to a bibliography and a detailed chronology of events.
THE ANNOTATED PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
This first-ever fully annotated edition of one of the most beloved novels: here is the complete text of Pride and Prejudice with more than 2,300 annotations on facing pages. Of course, one can enjoy the novel without knowing the precise definition of a gentleman, or what it signifies that a character drives a coach rather than a hack chaise, or the rules governing social interaction at a ball, but readers of The Annotated Pride and Prejudice will find that these details add immeasurably to understanding and enjoying the intricate psychological interplay of Austen’s immortal characters.
Fiction/Literature
THE ANNOTATED PERSUASION
The Annotated Persuasion gives us an even more satisfying and fulfilling read of Austen’s novel. Here is the complete text of Persuasion with hundreds of annotations on facing pages. Packed with all kinds of illuminating information—from what Bath and Lyme looked like at the time to how “bathing machines” at seaside resorts were used to how Wentworth could have made a fortune from the Napoleonic Wars—Shapard’s delightfully entertaining edition brings Austen’s novel of second chances vividly to life.
