Synopsis

In Lizzy, Darcy and Jane, Jane Austen pits her wit and will against her greatest adversary and ally - the intrepid heroine of Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet.

Heady with her first taste of love for the dashing Tom LeFroy, Jane Austen, aged 20, creates Elizabeth in an exuberant moment of inspiration, with Mr Darcy taking on the role of her arch enemy and reluctant admirer.

But when Jane's romance with Tom sours, she sentences Elizabeth to marry the odious Mr Collins, and herself to an equally disastrous marriage.

The fates of the author, the novel and its heroine are at stake.

Elizabeth Bennet must take action.
