Anne Harlowe

The Pemberley Poems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book of thirty-one poems is based on the assumption that Darcy wrote poetry to Elizabeth Bennet from the time he first met her, to long after their marriage. This assumption seems reasonable in the light of a conversation in Chapter 9 of Pride and Prejudice, in which Darcy says: "I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love." The poems, along with the short prose summaries which introduce each chapter, retell the story of Pride and Prejudice through the poetry which Darcy's wrote to Elizabeth. This book began as a novelette entitled Poet of Pemberley. Later, the poems, along with many others, were offered separately in an anthology that linked them to Pride and Prejudice in a book entitled The Pemberley Poems (this book). Recently, Poet of Pemberley was developed into a full-length novel entitled Pride and Poetry, which includes all the best poems in this volume and many others set in the context of a story in which a Darcy-like character called Lacy struggles with pride, prejudice, love and poetry.

Autorenporträt

Anne Harlowe was brought up in York, and was lucky enough to go to St Peter's School. The city, with its rich history and magnificent cathedral, has been an important influence in her life, and has inspired some of her best work. She read English at Leeds University, and did a master's degree dissertation entitled Jane Austen's Heroines. Her first attempt at writing for publication was to produce a study guide for Pride and Prejudice, but after about 20 pages she got distracted by writing a short story entitled A Night at Pemberley. This was submitted to a Fan Fiction website and was well-received, encouraging her to attempt further flights of Jane Austen-related fantasy, the most popular of which are Darcy's Dark Secret and Poet of Pemberley. Not content to hang on to the bonnet-strings of her favourite author, she began writing original works of Regency and Victorian romance, the most recent of which are Captain Cardew's Conquests and The Romantic Adventures of a Between Maid. The study guide is still unfinished.
