Synopsis "Pride and Prejudice (in English)"

"To create, a woman needs a room of her own" - Virginia Woolf Jane Austen began writing a novel in October 1796, while staying in a room of her own at her brother's Edward house in Kent, she finished it in August 1797 and called it "First Impressions." Between 1811 and 1812, Jane went back to work on "First Impressions" and made significant edits and revisions to the manuscript. When she finally became satisfied with her work she renamed the story "Pride and Prejudice." Jane asked 150 for the novel's copyright but Thomas Egerton, the publisher consented to only 110. Egerton published the first edition of Pride and Prejudice in three hardcover volumes on 27 January 1813 and priced the three volume set at 18 shillings (90 pence). In October 2010, a set, in a relatively good condition, of Pride and Prejudice' first T. Egerton edition was sold for 140,000 at a Sotheby's auction in London, fetching more than 150,000 times its original price. The romantic masterpiece is estimated to have sold more than 50 million copies, worldwide since it was first published and first T. Egerton editions, in a reasonably good condition, are regularly priced between 60,000 and 75,000 per copy. To celebrate both women and fiction and the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice, Pygmaion editors decided to release this edition with an introduction by Virginia Woolf and a new Lizzy on the cover imagined by Gustav Klimt.
Jane Austen
  (Author)
View Author's Page
Fue una novelista británica que vivió durante la época georgiana. Nació en la rectoría de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenecía a la gentry británica (nobleza rural o burguesía agraria), contexto del que no salió y en el que sitúa todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista.

Ha sido llevada al cine en numerosas ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el clásico Más fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la época actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptación libre de Emma. Otras versiones son la de Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo, la versión más fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que presentó la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jennifer Ehle. El interés que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en día muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida también ha sido llevada al cine con la película Becoming Jane (2007).
