‘Pride and prejudice: celebrating 200 years of Jane Austen’s best-loved novel’

Illustrated by Arthur Wallis Mills (London: Chatto & Windus, 1908)

Ten illustrated editions of Pride and prejudice from the Library’s collections will feature in an exhibition at Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, from 21–23 June 2013.

The exhibition, curated by Dr Chole Preedy, accompanies the major international conference Pride and prejudice: celebrating 200 years of Jane Austen’s best-loved novel, which marks the publication of the novel by Thomas Egerton in 1813.

The books will return to the University Library and go on display in the exhibition cases near the Map Room in the North Front corridor, later in June.
