Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen

First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is the most finished of Jane Austen's novels. It was written at a time when the author's narrative powers were fully developed and the story flows with an ease that conceals the skill of its construction.

The plot line follows the sequence of a love relationship apprehended, misunderstood and finally realized which has since become a standard format of the romcom genre. However, Austen complicates the action by involving not one but four romantic relationships, and using settings featuring an ensemble of characters. In Austen's other novels the heroine is either single, or one of a pair of sisters. In this novel, the main character, Elizabeth Bennet has five sisters, all of whom are expected to join in the hunt for a suitable male partner.

The mood of Pride and Prejudice is humourous and upbeat, and the darker themes touched on in the other novels are generally avoided.

Austen considered Elizabeth Bennet one of her most attractive characters, an opinion shared by generations of fans of her work.
