Some, like this white-dress version from Tribeca Books, design by SoHo Books, try to offer up an update and end up veering toward the '80s Lifetime Movie/Afterschool Special side, even though it came out in 2010. (Cover photo from dreamstime.) I'd still probably read it, though. It looks kind of Y.A.! a b Tauchert, Ashley (2003).

Howse, Christopher (28 December 2012). "Anniversaries of 2013". Daily Telegraph. Archived from the original on 31 December 2012. At a ball, the family is introduced to the Netherfield party, including Mr Bingley, his two sisters and Mr Darcy, his dearest friend. Mr Bingley's friendly and cheerful manner earns him popularity among the guests. He appears interested in Jane, the eldest Bennet daughter. Mr Darcy, reputed to be twice as wealthy as Mr Bingley, is haughty and aloof, causing a decided dislike of him. He declines to dance with Elizabeth, the second-eldest Bennet daughter, as she is "not handsome enough". Although she jokes about it with her friend, Elizabeth is deeply offended. Despite this first impression, Mr Darcy secretly begins to find himself drawn to Elizabeth as they continue to encounter each other at social events, appreciating her wit and frankness. The novel has inspired a number of other works that are not direct adaptations. Books inspired by Pride and Prejudice include the following: By merely looking at these covers, one would think that it is a story centered on the outlook or experiences of a woman. The covers suggest that the novel is like a form of a diary, biography or adventures of this particular heroine. The placement and depiction of Elizabeth Bennet asserts her distinction and uniqueness against the other characters and also symbolizes her self-reliance or independence as portrayed in the story. The novel was originally published anonymously, as were all of Austen's novels. However, whereas her first published novel, Sense and Sensibility was presented as being written "by a Lady," Pride and Prejudice was attributed to "the Author of Sense and Sensibility". This began to consolidate a conception of Austen as an author, albeit anonymously. Her subsequent novels were similarly attributed to the anonymous author of all her then-published works.And yours," he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand them." Elizabeth Bennet (second eldest of the five Bennet sisters) is the one with a clear, level head. Jane is the beautiful one, Mary is the look-at-me-I'm-so-pious one, Lydia is the I'm-so-dumb-that-I'm-probably-going-to-get-murdered one and Kitty is the well-she's-just-kinda-there one.
Pride and Prejudice is the dullest most wonderfully written book that I have ever read. I read it simply to get a feel for the author's fantastic ability at arranging words, and really I mean it when I say, oh what wonderful blather. I LOVE this book. It gives me...uh…(everyone stop reading this to save me the embarrassment and allow me to preserve my rough and tumble reputation)...butterflies. Everytime I read Pride and Prejudice (though it’s been many years since I’ve done a reread) I find something else to love about it.

Tanner, Tony (1986). Knowledge and Opinion: Pride and Prejudice. Macmillan Education Ltd. p.124. ISBN 978-0333323175. During my first reading of Pride and Prejudice, I had known I was hugely underqualified to review this book, though at the same time I had hoped, if I read all of her books, I might, in time, write an acceptable review for this masterpiece. Now that I’ve read them all, and also P&P for a second time, all I can say is I still don’t consider myself remotely qualified to write an objective review. But it is impossible not share one’s opinions after reading this: this book, for me, is as best as it could get. So, for the time being, I’ll have to be content with writing what I consider to be a subjective overview, which, I’m certain, does not do much justice. However, I hope that someday my sense in classical literature would become good enough to truly appreciate how remarkable this book is. Barker, Juliet (2016). The Brontës: a life in letters.

A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us." So needless to say I went into this thinking I might hate it. Well, for the 999,987th time in my life (at least according to my wife’s records)...I was wrong!!! I absolutely loved this book and had a mammoth, raging heart-on for it from the opening scene at the breakfast table when Father Witty (Mr. Bennet) is giving sly sarcasm to Mrs. Mommie Put Upon. I literaphorically could not get enough of this story. I was instantly captivated by the characters and Elizabeth Bennet, the main protagonist, immediately became one of my all time favorite characters. Mr. Darcy joined that party as soon as he showed up in the narrative as I thought he was terrific as well.
In Gwyn Cready's comedic romance novel, Seducing Mr Darcy, the heroine lands in Pride and Prejudice by way of magic massage, has a fling with Darcy and unknowingly changes the rest of the story. After Two City “Tale”ing, I decided to give this book a whirl as I kept seeing it on GR lists of "goodest books ever." However, I must admit I was hesitant going in to this for two big reasons. One, I thought it might be a bit too romantical for me. The second, and much more distressing, reason was that Twilight was on many of the same lists as this book. Austen fans should pull a nutty over that one. Pride and Prejudice (1995)". Bernardjtaylor.com. Archived from the original on 7 February 2012 . Retrieved 27 January 2012.

That's over 10 years ago! I was 17 and thought I was the smartest person ever! In all honesty, I barely remember this book. So, negative comments regarding my intelligence are no longer necessary. They will be ignored. As they have been for probably 7 years now. CARRY ON!
The story charts the emotional development of the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential. Mr William Collins– Mr Collins is Mr Bennet's distant second cousin, a clergyman, and the current heir presumptive to his estate of Longbourn House. He is an obsequious and pompous man, prone to making long and tedious speeches, who is excessively devoted to his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. A wiki walk can be as refreshing to the mind as a walk through nature in this completely overrated real life outside books: More recently, this Vintage Austen version, noted by The Bennet Sisters blogger who pulled her own list of covers together in 2010 (other great ones there, too), is lovely and modern while remaining evocative of the period. It's the hair, I think. ( There's a series of these.)
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries – which premiered on a dedicated YouTube channel on 9 April 2012, [63] and concluded on 28 March 2013 [64] – is an Emmy award-winning web-series [65] which recounts the story via vlogs recorded primarily by the Bennet sisters.
