Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Original
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr. Bennet living in Longbourn.He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman's daughter; so far we are equal'Set among the English country gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century, Pride and Prejudice is a story of love, marriage, manners, relations, the pride of money and the prejudice of class. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy's arrival in the neighbourhood, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging people based on first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's masterwork--an entertaining portrait of the way people behave in society and matrimonial rites and rivalries--and timeless in its hilarity and honesty.
