Elizabeth Bennet HN3845 – from the Literary Heroines Series
Stories and characters from the classics of modern literature were the inspiration for this Royal Doulton collection, The Romance of Literature. Pauline Parsons was selected to model the figures and she carefully researched the fashions and furnishings of the period which enabled her to interpret specific moments from each novel. She succeeded in capturing the essence of the characters as they would have appeared in the minds eye of the authors.
