Roses and Thorns: A Poetic Pride and Prejudice

A charming collection of sonnets and free verse written by, and about, the characters in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Within these pages you will meet Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Lizzy, Jane, Darcy, Bingley and, of course, the imperious Lady Catherine de Bourgh and pompous Mr. Collins, as well as others eager to speak their minds and share their interpersonal relationships. Written in both sonnet and free verse , these poems are the forum for many “conversations” between all the characters. Delightfully interspersed with each poem is an excerpt from Pride and Prejudice itself.
