《傲慢与偏见(插图本)》是简奥斯丁的代表作。这部作品以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法，生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。主人公达西是一位表面傲慢，实则心地善良的富家子弟，优越的环境令他对自己的傲慢浑然不觉；伊丽莎白是一位聪慧过人、心思缜密的姑娘，过于相信第一印象，自恃明察秋毫却往往身陷偏见的迷宫。傲慢的达西对固执偏见的伊丽莎白一见钟情，然而达西的傲慢和伊丽莎白的偏见却又注定了这是段误会重重又不失幽默气氛的爱情故事。(The "Pride and Prejudice (illustrated edition)"was the representative work by Jane Austen. It does not involve any content of the popular sentimental novels and artificial technique of that time. Based on daily life, this work vividly reflects the life and human relationships in the conservative, isolated villages and towns in UK in the late 1700s and the early 1800s. The hero Darcy, an apparently proud but actually kindhearted boy from a rich family, is never aware of his own pride due to favorable environment. Elizabeth, an intelligent and meticulous girl, excessively believes the first impression and is often trapped in prejudice although she is self-assured of keen perception. At first sight, the proud Darcy falls in love with the stubborn and biased Elizabeth. The pride of Darcy and the prejudice of Elizabeth, however, determine that this is a love story full of misunderstandings and humorous atmosphere.)
