Lovely nineteenth-century printing of Austen's most influential novel, featuring the equally matched Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, whose rocky courtship sets the tone for the next two centuries of romantic comedy. "After abusing you so abominably to your face, I could have no scruple in abusing you to all your relations." A near-fine copy.
