Details
AUSTEN, Jane (1775-1817)
Pride and Prejudice. London: T. Egerton, 1813.
Second edition of Jane Austen’s most famous and beloved novel. Pride and Prejudice was written between October 1796 and August 1797 when Austen was not yet twenty-one, the same age, in fact, as her fictional heroine Elizabeth Bennet. After an early rejection by the publisher Cadell, Austen's novel was finally bought by Egerton in 1812 and published in late January 1813, and the second edition is thought to have been published in October that same year. This second edition is a complete resetting of the first, from which it differs by occasional variants in the setting of the page and spelling or punctuation. Gilson A4.
3 volumes, 12mo (175 x 105mm). (Lacking half-titles, a few minor marginal chips not affecting text, occasional light spotting, heavier in quire E of vol.II and E-F of vol.III, tear into text in G3 of vol.III.) Near contemporary green half calf, red morocco lettering pieces (very light wear). Provenance: S. Hall (contemporary inscriptions).
