A review by walruz
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

4.0

Woolf called Austen one of the most difficult of the great writers to find in the act of her greatness. This assessment is both insightful and accurate, and it is Austen's ephemeral tone--her "now you see it, now you don't" attitude towards her subject, specifically, marriage--which transforms an essentially conventional story into a masterpiece.
