Question: Pride and Prejudice: Setting question: Help appreciated!!?
Hello!
I recently just finished reading Pride and Prejudice for an assignment!. (I wasn't excited to read it at first, but I really enjoyed it!)
The settings throughout the book honestly confused me, for I am not familar with the world map!. Shame on me! u_u; I understand that it took place in several different countries!. It would really help if anyone could add in important settings that I've left out!.
Mainly: Derbyshire, Hertfordshire, Kent and SussexWww@QuestionHome@Com
