Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire; near London.Though Austen set the story at the turn of the 19th century; it retains a fascination for modern readers; continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books." It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austens memorable characters or themes.

Reads like the kind of book that would have been a good New Yorker article; but got expanded beyond its natural format0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. which was wonderful; as it was a giftBy roarnanaThe book arrived far more quickly than estimated; which was wonderful; as it was a gift.The book was a smaller size than the one I saw in Scotland; and that was disappointing; as the illustrations are nicer in a larger format. However; I think that the title of the one I really wanted was Mrs. Delany; Her Life and Times; so the error was mine.The gift recipient was happy.
