Jane Austen published her manners novel Pride and Prejudice in 1813. The story tracks Elizabeth Bennet's growth as a character as she learns about the consequences of making snap decisions and comes to understand the distinction between apparent kindness and true goodness.

Although Mr. Bennet has five daughters and owns the Longbourn estate in Hertfordshire, his property is encumbered and may only be handed to a male successor. His wife doesn't have any inheritance either, so when he passes away, his family will be in dire straits. As a result, the plot is motivated by the need for at least one of the daughters to marry successfully in order to support the rest.


Pride and Prejudice has frequently been listed among the "most adored works" by literary critics and the general reading population. With over 20 million copies sold, it has grown to be one of the most read novels in English literature and has influenced a lot of contemporary writers. The unforgettable characters and universal concepts of Pride and Prejudice have been portrayed in dramatic adaptations, reprints, unofficial sequels, films, and TV shows for more than a century.
