The Annotated Pride and Prejudice

When David Shapard self-published this book in 2004, it was the first-ever fully annotated edition of Pride and Prejudice, with thousands of informative and entertaining notes, maps, and illustrations. Our Anchor edition was published in 2007 and has sold more than 55,000 copies. Since then, Shapard has annotated three more Austen novels for Anchor, and his extensive research has turned up many more sources and fascinating facts and images than were originally available to him. For this revised edition, he has eliminated some minor repetitions and less important notes, expanded many of his original notes, and added hundreds of new ones, along with many more wonderful illustrations from paintings, engravings, and drawings of the time. The result is a delight for Jane Austen fans, and a magnificent flagship for our ongoing series of Annotated Austens.
