About this book

Pride and Prejudice is the second novel by English author Jane Austen, after Sense and Sensibility. First published on 28 January 1813, Austen sold the copyright for just £110.  Its manuscript was initially written between 1796 and 1797 in Steventon, Hampshire, where Austen lived in the rectory. Originally called First Impressions, it was never published under that title, and in following revisions it was retitled Pride and Prejudice. It was first published anonymously. 

A novel of manners, set in the early 19th century, the story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters of a country gentleman. The five unmarried sisters are pressed to find a good wealthy match, and the very opinionated Elizabeth comes to odds with her proud beau Mr. Darcy.

Pride and Prejudice comes repackaged with a brand new original cover design in this deluxe edition which includes romantic and humorous illustrations by C.E. Brock. Pride and Prejudice is the tale of Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters, who are struggling to find the elusive path to love and financial security in early 1800s England. Enter haughty, wealthy, handsome but proud Mr. Darcy with his friend Mr. Bingley, and all of their lives will be irrevocably changed. Will pride and prejudice stand in the way of true love? Or will every trial and disaster thrown in their way be simply a means to bring them closer to each other and to an understanding of their own hearts? This is the love story of love stories, laced with humour and wit along with a sharp insight into the truth of human nature and a good dose of romance.
