To kick off the 200th anniversary of the publishing of Pride and Prejudice, we will do a “deep read” of the book. Read one of the annotated versions of P&P (see below) if you have one, or do a careful reading of a regular edition. We’ll looks at maps, chronology, geography and other details of the book. As you are reading, think of aspects you’d like the group to discuss.

Pride and Prejudice: An Annotated Edition by Patricia Meyer Spacks
The Annotated Pride and Prejudice by David M. Shapard

Copies of one or both of these editions are at Denver, Arapahoe County, Boulder County and Douglas County libraries.
