Two hundred years ago today Pride and Prejudice was published by Thomas Egerton. This book spawned the influence and adaptations of countless books, plays and movies. One of my favorites by Austen, Pride and Prejudice is on my top lists of classics to read. If you haven't read it yet, pick up a copy and enjoy, you will find a timelessness about it. Pertaining to modern culture, as manners and class are still paramount to our society, with satire you can never go wrong.
If you are a Jane Austen fan. There is a fantastic looking Pride and Prejudice conference held at Lucy Cavendish College this year. Celebrating the anniversary, this conference will look at Austen's work by marrying the past piece with the modern inspired works and adaptations. For more information Click Here. If you can't make it to this conference find your local book club or literary society and inquire.
Spending 2013 celebrating the 200th year for a timeless book is a pretty tip-top way to enrich your own sense of culture.
