A quick look at a few aspects of a classic novel, tightly produced, with no ponderous gaps on the part of the speakers and appropriate music tastefully interwoven. I had just finished reading the novel and tried to imagine while listening to this program how interesting it would be if I wasn't familiar with the story. I'm not convinced that those unfamiliar with "Pride and Prejudice" would stay with this too long. They don't need to have read the novel, though, as movie and TV versions are given some consideration.
