Pride and Prejudice Poster Giveaway

February 25, 2016 by Vic

All the World’s A Page honors exceptional authors and their works by turning their masterpieces into posters. That’s right. An entire novel is translated onto one poster. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is included in the collection. On the occasion of Jane Austen’s 240th birthday on December 16th, All the World’s a Page has organized a world-wide give-away to celebrate the big event. Poster Giveaway Contest Closed. Congratulations Tresha, Florence, Jill, and Angela!

Have you ever thought of pinning “Pride and Prejudice” on the wall instead of putting it on a shelve? All the World’s A Page, a project which British designer Ian Warner brought to life, proves that it not only is possible to fit the whole world of Elizabeth Bennett onto a poster, but that the typographic setting opens up unexpected fields to grasp the literary oeuvre.

All the World is a Page invites you to experience the tentative courtship of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy in a unique way: by presenting the story in a new perspective.

All 121,932 words are reproduced as a poster on a high-quality, two-color offset print, using 150g Munken ‚Pure Rough’ paper. The result is a single-paged book, which, from a distance, appears as a homogenous grey mass, but up-close reveals its intricate structure, fibrous structure; a river of words punctuated by tiny, colored paragraph marks.

  1. How old is Elizabeth Bennet?
  2. Why is Miss Bingley jealous of Elizabeth Bennet?
  3. Why does Elizabeth Bennet spend six weeks at Hunsford?
  4. How is Wickham related to Darcy?

    How old is Elizabeth Bennet? 20 years old

    Why is Miss Bingley jealous of Elizabeth Bennet? Because Mr. Darcy admires Elizabeth, and Caroline would prefer him to admire her!

    Why does Elizabeth Bennet spend six weeks at Hunsford? To visit with her good friend Charlotte Collins, née Lucas.

    How is Wickham related to Darcy? He is the son of Darcy’s father’s late steward.

  6. on February 26, 2016 at 01:05 ladyofquality

    1. 20.
    2. Because she (Caroline) loves Darcy, and is jealous. I totally get that.
    3. To see poor, poor Charlotte, and to help her think of ways to escape Mr. Collins’ affections. Ew.
    4. Wickham’s father was the steward for Darcy’s father.
    5. 16. Sweet and naive.


  7. on February 26, 2016 at 01:08 Florence Stasch

    How old is Elizabeth Bennet? Elizabeth is 20 years old.

    Why is Miss Bingley jealous of Elizabeth Bennet? Because Miss Bingley has set her cap for Darcy but he admires Elizabeth instead. And who can blame him?

    Why does Elizabeth Bennet spend six weeks at Hunsford? She was visiting her friend Charlotte Collins/Lucas

    How is Wickham related to Darcy? He is not a blood relative. His father was steward of Darcy’s father’s estate and grew up with Darcy.

    How old is Georgianna Darcy? She must be about 16….maybe near 17. She was 15 when she almost eloped with Wickham.


  8. on February 26, 2016 at 01:31 Melody

    WOW, THIS IS COOL. Okay, questions.
    Elizabeth is 20 (or “not one and twenty”)

    Miss Bingley is jealous of Elizabeth because Mr. Darcy actually pays attention to Elizabeth which she has failed to get for herself. And because Elizabeth is just kind of a lot more awesome, so…. you know.

    Why does Elizabeth Bennet spend six weeks at Hunsford?
    She’s visiting Charlotte, and then she and Maria are invited to stay longer than they’d planned. Lady Catherine tried to talk her into staying longer, too, but Lizzy was outta there. :P

    (How is Wickham related to Darcy?) Well, “related” in the sense of what connection do they have; George Wickham is the son of Old Mr. Darcy’s Steward, and they played together as boys. Then he grew up and became a Bad Guy and tried to elope with his sister and all manner of horrid things.

    Georgiana is 16 during the story.

    Thanks for this opportunity!

    1.How old is Elizabeth Bennet? 20 years old
    Lady Catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer;
    and Elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever dared
    to trifle with so much dignified impertinence.
    “You cannot be more than twenty, I am sure, therefore you need not conceal your age.”
    “I am not one-and-twenty.”

    2.Why is Miss Bingley jealous of Elizabeth Bennet?
    She observes the attraction of Darcy to her after her spirited refusal to dance a reel.
    Elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. He really believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he should be in some danger.
    Miss Bingley saw, or suspected enough to be jealous; and her great anxiety for the recovery of her dear friend Jane received some assistance from her desire of getting rid of Elizabeth.

    3.Why does Elizabeth Bennet spend six weeks at Hunsford?
    She is invited to visit her newly married fried Charlotte Lucas at her new home in the parsonage at Hunsford. This seems attractive after the dullness of the winter months at Longbourne. She stays on hearing that Mr Darcy will be arriving in a few weeks ‘his coming would furnish one comparatively new to look at in their Rosings parties, and she might be amused how hopeless Miss Bingley’s designs on him were, by his behaviour to his cousin (Anne De Bourgh), for whom he was evidently destined by Lady Catherine’. The reader suspects that Elizabeth may be interested in him at this point.

    4.How is Wickham related to Darcy?
    They are not directly related. George Wickham was the Godson of Fitzwilliam Darcy’s father and son of his father’s steward. He was raised alongside Fitzwilliam. He could have been described as a half-brother of Fitzwilliam but had not been formally adopted so could not be a step-brother. “We were born in the same parish, within the same park; the greatest part of our youth was passed together; inmates of the same house, sharing the same amusements, objects of the same parental care.”

    5.How old is Georgiana Darcy?
    She must be 16. Darcy refers to her elopement as happening a year ago when she was
    15.
    ‘About a year ago, she was taken from school, and an establishment formed for her in London; and last summer she went with the lady who presided over it, to Ramsgate; and thither also went Mr. Wickham, undoubtedly by design; for there proved to have been a prior acquaintance between him and Mrs. Younge, in whose character we were most unhappily deceived; and by her connivance and aid, he so far recommended himself to Georgiana, whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to her as a child, that she was persuaded to believe herself in love, and to consent to an elopement. She was then but fifteen’
