Pride and Prejudice (the Peacock Edition, Revived)
Pride and Prejudice (the Peacock Edition, Revived) | Jane Austen, Hugh Thomson
Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. This is a reconstruction of Hugh Thomson's celebrated 1894 Peacock Edition. Thomson, one of the most prolific and popular illustrators of his time, did fine line drawings for all six novels by Jane Austen; but to this edition he added amusing chapter heads and decorative initials, as well as a lavish green and gilt cover featuring a peacock perched on a sundial, enthralled by his own feathers.

I‘ve always enjoyed classics, but they tend to get a wee boring or confusing during the middle of the novels due to the long sentences and old writing style; however, this book never did that! Jane Austen wrote a masterpiece that captivated me the entire time. The plot was simple yet intriguing and the relationships between the characters were humorous and well-written. I love it!

My souvenir from the Library of Congress gift shop. This just seemed fitting for both me and the moment.

CatLass007 I completely agree with the sentiment on the charm. I think I‘m very envious of your trip to the Library of Congress. I may have to add that to my bucket list. If I had a bucket list. My favorite place to visit in NYC is the New York Public Library. Is the LoC as gorgeous or is it a more modern building? 4mo
bookishbitch @CatLass007 it is not modern at all. There is lots of marble, wood, and mosaic tile in patterns and used to make picturesque scenes. Plus, there are exhibits. I saw James Madison's crystal flute and Thomas Jefferson's library, (his books that is) and they have a Gutenburg Bible. 3mo

I have seen this wonderful movie version more times than I have read the book. I wish I could pay a historian specializing in Regency England to watch it with me and answer all my questions. For example, what is that long brush on Jane's vanity? She is brushing her hair with a normal brush, so what is that?

rwmg Maybe Lizzie and Jane share the vanity table but each have their own hairbrush? 4mo
LitStephanie @rwmg that could be possible except Lizzie has her own room and vanity. I just don't know. 4mo
AnishaInkspill I\'m going to guess a hairbrush -- I may watch this adaptation in the next few months, if I do I will let yoou know. 2mo

Bookwomble My nana was a hairdresser & had different types of brush on her vanity table. I do remember her having one that shape which had softer bristles than the others in the set. Bearing in mind it was more than 50 years ago, I wasn't a hairdresser & wasn't encouraged to use it (though I did play with the set), I *think* it was used at the end of the brushing routine to give hair a glossy shine. I would only place a small wager on that, though! 😄 1mo

#Pemberlittens probably know this. First-edition was printed as a set of three volumes.

So today's chapter number depends on whether edition you're reading follows the original: Volume 2 - Chapter 1 or if it goes sequential, its Chapter 24.

I'm going with Chapter 24 because it's easier for me to keep track. And today's quote: "Mr. Darcy was condemned as the worst of men."?

Both these editions have lovely illustrations- in the edition on the right they are in color;in the edition on the left they are in black and white.

I've been looking to replace since sadly this one was lost in house fire. There was one on Ebay for $20 that I've had on my Watchlist. I took this showing up in my memories as a sign I should buy. It will be here soon. 📪

"Both changed colour, one looked white, the other red. Mr. Wickham, after a few moments, touched his hat—a salutation which Mr. Darcy just deigned to return. What could be the meaning of it? It was impossible to imagine; it was impossible not to long to know." - Chapter 15 ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Today's edition is a used bookstore find. Features a cover reminiscent of 1940s Pride and Prejudice movie with Greer Garson and Laurence Oliver. It's been a long time since I watched it. Mostly I remember the costumes. Hoop skirts! So wrong for the Regency period. 🤓

1. Pride & Prejudice (2005) - I didn‘t like the book but this movie was really good. I enjoyed it.

2. Holes (2003) - I liked the book when we read it in my 7th grade English class and I enjoyed the movie. I‘ve watched the movie many times.

3. Les Miserables (2012) - I read the book and I enjoyed it but I enjoyed the movie more because it had music.
