Description

Pride and Prejudice, a novel by Jane Austen, has earned a special place in the hearts of readers as her most beloved and intimately known work. From its famous opening sentence, the story of the Bennet family and its two protagonists, Elizabeth and Darcy, is told with a wit that Austen feared might prove 'rather too light and bright, and sparkling'. This delightful tale entertains while also teaching valuable lessons about balance, the folly of pride and prejudice.

Austen's skill in characterisation is also evident in the minor characters that populate the novel, including the ill-matched Mr and Mrs Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and the memorable Mr Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth Bennet is a standout comedic passage in English literature.
