Jane Austen began writing Pride and Prejudice when she was just twenty years old, though it would not be published until seventeen years later, in 1813. Widely regarded as one of the first romantic comedies in literary history, the novel's entanglements and misunderstandings are deftly interwoven with a sharp, ironic critique of English society.
Mrs Bennet is determined to secure a prosperous future for her five daughters through advantageous marriages. Her second-eldest, Elizabeth, is just as resolute that Fitzwilliam Darcy ? the most arrogant, self-important man she has ever met ? will not be one of her suitors. Darcy, in turn, considers Elizabeth an unfit match due to her lower social standing and limited connections. Yet the heart seldom obeys reason, and both are forced to examine their own prejudices in the pursuit of true love.
