Pride and Prejudice & Emojis

Delight in Austen's intelligent wit and piercing social commentary in the beautiful, modern language of emoji. Because there's no enjoyment like reading. Except maybe texting.

Mr Darcy *heart eyes emoji* Lizzie Bennet. But will she swipe right? Jane Austen started writing Pride & Prejudice in 1796 when she was just 22 years old. If she had lived in the 21st century she undoubtedly would have had a smartphone. Unfortunately back then she only had the English language to work with, but what would her literary masterpiece have looked like if she had emojis?
