Pride and Prejudice is one of the most cherished love stories in English literature, delighting generations of readers with its high comedy, social observation and compelling romance, and spawning an entire industry of spin-off books, film adaptations and works of literary criticism. The pride of high-ranking Mr Darcy and the prejudice of middle-class Elizabeth Bennet conduct an absorbing dance through the rigid social hierarchies of early-nineteenth-century England, with the passion of the two unlikely lovers growing as their union seems ever more improbable. With a host of Bennet sisters playing out their own triumphs and disasters, and the unforgettable tragicomedy of their parents' marriage demonstrating just how high the stakes can be, Jane Austen's second novel has a lasting effect on everyone who reads it. Contains an extensive critical apparatus, extra reading material including a section of photographs and notes.

Revised for publication thirteen years later, it combines the freshness of youth with the skill of maturity, not least in the brilliance of the characterization and the attractiveness of the heroine, Elizabeth Bennet.

Jane Austen's novels concern the gentle, rural English middle class existence and conventions of the early 18th-century. The author was born into just such a lifestyle on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, a small village in Hampshire, England. Her father, a vicar who supplemented his salary through farming, provided much of her education. Austen's talents were encouraged by her parents and siblings, who provided both a receptive and critical audience for her unpublished work. Austen began writing Pride and Prejudice in 1796, under the title First Impressions. Completed the following year, it became a family favourite. However, when her father attempted to place the work with a London publisher, it was rejected. The novel first appeared in print in 1813, after Austen had proven herself something of a commercial success with Sense and Sensibility (1811), her first published novel. Pride and Prejudice is perhaps the most comic of Austen's novels. It concerns the considerable efforts of a couple, Mr and Mrs Bennet, to achieve suitable marriages for their five daughters. The focal point, however, is the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, a man whom she had readily dismissed as an unfeeling aristocrat. The novel proved even more popular than its predecessor, and was followed by Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). In 1817, Austen was in the midst of composing a new novel, Sanditon (1925), when she was obliged to put down her pen due to ill-health. She died on 18 July 1817. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, her last completed novel, were published five months later.

'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.' The famous opening words of Pride and Prejudice carry the reader straight to the heart of the Bennet household, the home of no fewer than five marriageable daughters. Austens best-loved romance unfolds around the two eldest, Jane and Elizabeth, and two eligible bachelors, Mr Bingley and his friend Mr Darcy. It is more than 200 years since Jane Austen published her first novel (Sense and Sensibility) and she is still revered worldwide for her penetrating intelligence, dazzling sense of irony and subtle social commentary. Nowhere are these qualities more evident than in the remarkable Pride and Prejudice.
