About the book

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, an intelligent and independent young woman living with her parents and four sisters in rural England. When the wealthy Mr Bingley arrives in the neighbourhood with his reserved friend Mr Darcy, a complicated series of romances, misunderstandings and social encounters begins. Elizabeth initially considers Darcy proud and disagreeable, while Darcy struggles against his own assumptions about her family and social position. As both characters come to recognise their mistakes, Austen explores love, marriage, reputation, class and the dangers of judging others too quickly. Witty and sharply observed, it remains one of the most beloved novels in English literature.
