A Truth Universally Acknowledged

This project was for the anthology A Truth Universally Acknowledged: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” by Duck Prints Press.

With this third installment in our Queer Fanworks Inspired By… anthology series, we set out to explore the truth by which we at Duck Prints Press live: that a classic work without a single canonically queer character must be in want of a very LGBTQIA+ makeover!

A Truth Universally Acknowledged: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudicequeers up this classic with 21 short stories and 20 full-page color artworks. 38 creators contributed to this project, drawing inspiration from the story and characters in Jane Austen’s enduring romantic classic to create delightful, thoughtful, intriguing, and (of course) very queer fanworks and Pride and Prejudice-inspired original works.

Grab your reticule, don your favorite cravat, pour yourself some fragrant tea, and join us!
