It’s official: Pride and Prejudice is an English Icon

Filed under: Jane in the News, Online — Mags @ 12:19 am

The votes are in, and Pride and Prejudice has been chosen as one of the latest batch of Icons of England.

Dubbed as the first psychological novel by some for its depth of characterisation, Pride And Prejudice has it all – love triangles, class divide, vanity, snobbery. And the dashing Mr Darcy!

Hard to say it better than that! Don’t forget to check out the associated biography, features and “What Next” pages for this English icon.

The first performances of Paul Gordon’s musical version of EMMA will be presented as part of TheatreWorks’ New Works Festival. The first performance was last night.

The Paul Gordon fans at the JANE EYRE: THE MUSICAL forum have posted some photos of the cast, as well.

Thanks to Brontëana for the heads-up!
