by Jane Austen
Published 1813
When the wealthy and single Mr. Bingley takes the country estate of Netherfield, Mrs. Bennet sees the long-awaited chance to marry off her five daughters, particularly the beautiful Jane and the sharp-witted Elizabeth. With Bingley comes his friend, the handsome and arrogant Mr. Darcy, whose first impression on Elizabeth is so poor that when their lives collide again and again across parlors, militia ballrooms, and country walks, nothing short of a full reappraisal of both of them will do. Jane Austen's 1813 novel is a masterwork of English comedy, a romance conducted almost entirely through conversation and correspondence, in which marriage is not only a matter of feeling but also of property, rank, and the narrow options available to women of good family and modest fortune. Beneath its sparkle lies a sharp-eyed social commentary and a moral education for both its main characters. More than two centuries on, Pride and Prejudice continues to set the terms for the romantic novel and remains one of the most frequently adapted works in the English language.
