Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular novels in the English language. Centered around the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip, and snobberies of provincial middle-class life in a comedy of manners.
Elizabeth Bennet is intelligent, witty, well-spoken, and ahead of her time.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is a wealthy, handsome, intelligent young gentleman who suffers from a social awkwardness that makes him appear to be overly prideful.
While attending a ball, Elizabeth meets Darcy, who is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind, shows little interest, and refuses to dance with her. She, in turn, finds him arrogant and conceited. When Elizabeth later discovers that Darcy is involved in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever.
However, as fate has it, in the following weeks, Elizabeth and Darcy find themselves repeatedly forced into each other’s company, allowing Elizabeth to overcome the prejudice of her first impression and open herself up to the idea of a romance between the two.
Written over two centuries ago, Jane Austen’s enduring story of manners, family, and love continues to delight new generations of readers. An enduring work of classic literary fiction, Pride and Prejudice is arguably Jane Austen’s most popular novel. It is perfect for anyone interested in a lighthearted romance story and historical Regency fiction.
