Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. T. Egerton, 1813.
Marshall was one of the greatest soldiers who ever served America. He was the Chief of Staff throughout the Second World War and then served as Secretary of State. It was he who devised and implemented the Marshall Plan. McCarthy accused thousands of people of being disloyal including Marshall. He claimed to have lists of communists in the Army and other agencies of government, but never produced such lists.

That and his drinking destroyed his career. Marshall is remembered as one of America’s great figures.

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike.
