Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's enduring novel of manners, marriage, family pressure, social judgment, and moral self-knowledge. Elizabeth Bennet is intelligent, lively, and quick to see folly in others; Fitzwilliam Darcy is wealthy, proud, reserved, and difficult to understand. Around them move the Bennet family, the charming and unreliable Wickham, the amiable Bingley, the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and a society in which marriage is both intimate choice and economic necessity. Through wit, irony, and precise social observation, Austen turns courtship into a searching study of character.
First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the central works of English fiction. Its romance is inseparable from its comedy of manners, its critique of class and inheritance, and its clear-eyed understanding of pride, prejudice, vanity, affection, and self-deception. For readers of classic literature, Regency fiction, women's writing, literary romance, and nineteenth-century English novels, Austen's masterpiece continues to offer one of the most satisfying combinations of intelligence, feeling, and formal control in the history of the novel.
