I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.

classics are still difficult for me to read, especially older ones, but the romance of pride and prejudice carries you through. it helps to have seen various adaptations and to know the story so well, but it’s a different experience altogether to read the source and be so intimate with it. to get these perspectives from elizabeth and darcy is wonderful, and it’s clear why austen’s writing endures.
