Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners about the romantic pas de deux between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, two perfectly suited lovers who, at first, find each other insufferable.

Despite Elizabeth’s disdain for Darcy, fate seems determined to keep throwing this pair together, and Darcy, almost in spite of himself, makes revelations causing Elizabeth to question everything she believes.

Set in a time when marrying well was a woman’s only way to assure a secure and comfortable future, Pride and Prejudice is one of the best-loved novels of all time.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In the history of literature, few female authors have attained the enduring popularity of Jane Austen (1775-1817). Her exquisite, finely tuned novels have captivated readers for two hundred years, and her reputation shows no signs of diminishing, fuelled by high-profile TV and film adaptations of her writing. The substance of her work, and the source of her appeal, is quintessentially English. She takes the reader into the subtle cultural, linguistic and romantic codes of nineteenth-century English society, and in doing so creates some of literature's favourite heroes and heroines.
