Netherfield Hall has just been let to a single man of large fortune. But while it is true that such a man is generally considered to be in want of a wife, it is equally true that not all men desire female companionship, just as not every woman dreams of being married.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike other variations on Jane Austen's classic romance novel, \u003cem\u003eGay Pride \u0026amp; Prejudice\u003c\/em\u003e poses a question: What if some among Austen's characters preferred the company of their own sex? In this queer revision of the classic original, Kate Christie offers an alternate version of love, friendship, and marriage for Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and others among their circle of friends.
