Bennett Jane Austen Married Nerves Nervous Prejudice Pride Regency
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration transports us back to the enchanting world of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The print showcases Mr and Mrs Bennet, a married couple who play pivotal roles in this beloved novel. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson in 1894, their characters come alive as they are depicted seated in an elegant interior of the Regency era. Mr Bennet is portrayed as a distinguished gentleman, engrossed in his reading while his wife sits beside him with a nervous expression on her face. This portrayal perfectly captures their contrasting personalities - he being witty and detached, she being anxious and prone to nerves. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate costumes worn by both characters that reflect the fashion of the Georgian period, to the inclusion of their pet cat lounging nearby. These details add depth and authenticity to this beautiful engraving. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of Austen's skillful characterization and her ability to capture human nature within societal constraints. It serves as a reminder that even within marriage, individuals can possess vastly different dispositions. This print not only celebrates one of literature's most iconic couples but also pays homage to Jane Austen herself – an author whose works continue to captivate readers centuries later.
