Orgullo y prejuicio (El Jardín Secreto)

Jane Austen ocup\u00f3 un lugar preminente en la literatura brit\u00e1nica d\u00e9cadas antes de que las mujeres pudiesen disponer de una habitaci\u00f3n propia en la que escribir novelas y abri\u00f3 la senda que recorrer\u00edan las hermanas Bront\u00eb o Virginia Woolf. Su prosa, su iron\u00eda y, sobre todo, su perspicacia para el retrato social, convierten sus obras en una referencia ineludible de la literatura del siglo XIX. Orgullo y prejuicio, su novela m\u00e1s conocida, narra c\u00f3mo Elizabeth Bennet y Fitzwilliam Darcy se enfrentan a sus prejuicios movidos por el amor que, contra pron\u00f3stico, surge entre ellos. Jane Austen occupied a prominent place in British literature decades before women could have a room of their own in which to write novels and opened the path that the Bront\u00eb sisters or Virginia Woolf would follow. Her prose, her irony and, above all, her acumen for social portraiture, make her works an inescapable reference of nineteenth-century literature. Pride and Prejudice, her best-known novel, tells the story of how Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy face their prejudices driven by the love that, against all odds, arises between them.<\/i><\/P>"
