"For over two hundred years, the heroine of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Elizabeth Bennet has enchanted and inspired readers by being that "obstinate, headstrong girl" willing to stand up to the arrogance and snobbery of her so-called betters. Described by Austen as having a "lively, playful disposition," Elizabeth embodies the perfect imperfections of strong-willed women everywhere: she is spirited, witty, clever, and loyal. In this romance anthology, ten Austenesque authors sketch Elizabeth's character through a collection of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times."--Publisher's description.
